At the head of the dinner table, Berengar sat alongside Adela. A position that had until relatively recently been reserved for Linde. However, now that Berengar was married, it was appropriate for his wife to sit next to him and not his lover.
Berengar and Adela were the primary attraction of the hundreds of dinner guests who had gathered to celebrate their marriage. Among his guests were his two most powerful allies, Emperor Vetranis Palaiologos of the Byzantine Empire and Sultan Hasan Al-Fadl of the Emirate of Granada. These two men had been staying in Kufstein since Berengar's coronation Ceremony, which was only a matter of weeks prior.
Though Vetranis was unhappy that Berengar had married Adela before his daughter, his rage had settled down after witnessing the beautiful ceremony and dining on the exceptional cuisine. He was beginning to believe that Adela made a perfect Queen for Berengar.
