After a few moments, things began to settle down a bit, with noticeably more visible security. I took a quick shower and got dressed for dinner. Sylvia had said it would be coat and tie as her head of the Royal Guard and a few members of the Storting would also be present.
I wore a fitted, deep navy blue tux, without tails, matching loose fit trousers, a summer daffodil yellow long sleeved silk shirt, Lolite cuff links in yellow gold settings with a vest and bow tie in my coat color.
Xi wore a formal sunset pink kimono with green dragons and detailed mountain scenes; putting her hair up with the traditional long pins. She also wore traditional sandals and diamond lined rectangular cut Jade earings which paired nicely with her wrist jewelry of green, lavender, pink, yellow, and white Jade stones separated by chocolate diamonds. She also wore just enough traditional makeup to be absolutely gorgeous.
Sue wore a burgundy, formal, ankle length, silk dress, That was form fitting up top and clung to her like a second skin, leaving nothing to the imagination. The dress had expansion pleats, to accommodate her baby bump, whose hemn extended to the floor. She wore no underwear and she had a yellow gold chain around her hips which pulled in the dress and displayed an attached, large, deep red gold encasted garnet stone that sat prominently over her baby bump. She also wore a long, yellow gold necklace encrusted with lots of deep red garnet stones. Sue also wore low healed, open toed sandals in her dress color.
When the three of us left our bedroom the three guards from before were standing outside and I looked at the female guard, "May I approach?"
She nodded hesitantly but looked me straight in the eye, "I apologize for your finding us in such a compromised situation."
"It couldn't be helped, Ambassador."
"Oh, I understand. I did note you were enjoying the eye candy, though. When you get off duty, if you would like a closer look, I would like to thank you for your service."
She blushed, "That would be grounds for dismissal and banishment, Sir."
"Oh I am sure we can work that out with the powers that be. Particularly since I am the one offering." There was a strand of hair that had escaped from her cap, "May I?" I had partially reached up to her face and stopped.
She nodded and I softly tucked the errant strand back underneath as I let some chi flow, causing her to sharply intake her breath as she had a minor climax. Looking into her eyes that were now filled with wonder I whispered, "Just a taste... for now."
To say she was badly shaken would be an understatement. Sue saddled up beside me and winked at her, "My dear, if you are so inclined, please help us wives out? He is just too much man for the two of us alone!"
Xi got my other arm and whispered, "You got that right, Sis. Hon, if you don't accept his offer, you will always regret not bedding the most virile, most accomplished, and most attentive lover you will ever have the pleasure to get to know. His sensuality is mythical level."
I shook my head and chuckled, "My wives, the idea was to invite her, not scare the shit out of her."
Ok, her jaw dropped and you could tell she was trying desperately to think of a proper response... but none came.
With that we moved down the hallway and Sue smiled mischievously, "Harry, I think you should make an entrance that will be remembered."
I raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"
Xi smiled and agreed, "Oh definitely! Master should go full Dragon mode. Show them the Myth and the man are one and the same."
I chuckled and every step we took I pulled up more and more of my Dragon aura. By the time we reached the formal dining hall I was in full blown Dragon and both my sister/wife and second wife were ablaze as well.
When we walked in, we were announced and every eye turned to us. Every eye then opened in shock, and a few items such as glasses and purses were dropped to the floor as the women took deep breaths to collect themselves and the men watched me closely for evidence I was a threat.
The rest of the family walked in and they were all dressed to the nines. DD, Leesie, and Barbara wearing dresses showing off their bountiful decolletages. Izzy and Penny dressed to match DC who also wore a Tux but in gunmetal gray with a dark red and frilled shirt and bowtie.
The SEALs were in their dress uniforms. Their sidearms were mostly hidden away. Well, except for LT.
Sylvia came in last, dressed in a long black mourning gown with a light silver crown adorned around the rim with flawless moonstones in milky white with gray, brownish, yellow, green, and pink streaks within the matched stones which were separated by darker Opals with a large opal dangling in an open heart shaped crest above her forehead.
Everyone in the room genuflected towards Sylvia, some more than others... whom I noted. Sylvia then asked everyone to rise and be seated. When Sylvia was seated at the head of the table I was seated to her left and the Generallöjtnant to her right. The family went down the side of the table to my left while the ranking members of the Storting were seated across from them to the right.
Sylvia then cleared her throat, "Ambassador Walker, I know you to be a man of faith, would you pray for the blessing of the food this evening?"
I bowed and lowered my head, as did most at the table... this being quite the unexpected development, "Lord God, please bless this food to our nourishment, the hands that prepared it, this country's leadership, and especially its Queen, Lady Sylvia..." I completed the prayer and during said prayer, Cheech and Chong had taken up stations behind and to each side of Sylvia in a protective formation.
We waited for Sylvia to take the first bite before we all dug in. The food was wonderful Norwegian fare featuring Gudbrandsdalsost on thin crispy bread points with a Pomegranate fruit juice as an appetizer followed by thinly sliced Gravlaks served with a smoked, capered, buttery white sauce and wheat crackers.
The main dish was grilled and buttered Minke Whale meat steaks with roasted tomatoes, and an Iceberg lettuce wedge with diced red cabbage, slivered orange and yellow carrots, and thin cucumber slices served with a Greek Vinaigrette dressing.
For desert we had a slice of kransekaka with a drizzle of icing along with some rich coffee.
The conversation began to get a bit lively during the serving of the desert. One ranking member of the Storting commented to the table, not directing the question directly at the Queen, "I do wonder where the Prime Minister is this evening?"
The Generallöjtnant, head of the Palace Guard spoke up, "We had evidence the Prime Minister and two others within the Castle and Palace grounds had conspired to poison the Queen Regent as well as her child, who has been named heir to the throne. Before we could apprehend them they killed themselves with the very poison they intended to use against her Majesty."
"These individuals were convicted with their own words. We have a copy of a very damning conversation so there is no mistake. Investigations are continuing."
The Storting members present were initially dumbfounded and then began talking over one another. All but one who was just too stoic. His jaw tightened and he pulled a 3-D printed throwing dart, tossing it directly at Sylvia's head.
