Chapter 262
Banquets, feasts, and the whole festival that lasted for seven days. The nobles of the country used this occasion as an excuse to enjoy the balls as they usually did.
For the commoners, however, the Founding Festival held a different meaning.
It was a day to commemorate the founding of the nation and, at the same time, a harvest festival that lasted for three days.
For those who worked, it was a public holiday, and for those who ran stalls, it was an opportunity to earn substantial income.
Thus, even though it wasn’t the actual day yet, the streets were bustling with activity.
A sense of anticipation filled the air, and subtle tensions simmered among the nobles aiming for influence in the empire’s central politics.
It was only natural since the largest banquet of the festival was held in the imperial palace.
Some were eager to attend the banquet hosted by the imperial family, while others were worried about possible mishaps that might occur amidst all the excitement.
Of course, there were those who remained unconcerned to all the hullabaloo.
