Chapter 170: What an unveiling!!

"That is exactly what he has said." Elowin confirmed. "I just don’t remember him being one of us. Do you?" he turned his head to her, in his eyes was a mischievous glint.

Both of them laughed at the joke which was whispered between only the two of them. Everyone else in the living room was busy watching television.

Princess Elarin was speaking to the people now.

"His royal highness and I have been looking forward to this new era so much. It is hope....our hope that live broadcasting will bring us all closer than before..."

While she was talking, something unexpected happened-one of the cameras changed direction to captured two monkeys that were waltzing gracefully, and then a young boy running after a chicken that was carrying a lizard in its mouth. About a dozen chicken followed them, loudly clucking and Elarin’s speech was interrupted.

In the different homes, laughter spread among the people, but the head mage quickly regained control by using a spell to freeze the chicken and turned the camera that had diverted back to the princess.

"Our apologies, we have encountered some err...magical difficulties!"

"Technical difficulties." Someone shouted from the back.

The crowd at the unveiling laughed, and the unveiling continued with so many charmed. The waltzing monkeys had won many hearts and would always be remembered. In future when the unveiling of television would be spoken of, nobody would mention the king or Elarin’s speech but they would talk about the waltzing monkeys.

On the television now, reporters were interviewing people on streets, taverns, markets and other places in the different cities about what their thoughts and expectations were on live television.
