By the time evening draped its cloak across the capital, most of Velmoria's loyal nobles had already arrived.
They had used whatever means at their disposal to move quickly because everyone knew how crucial this move was.
However, they were all stopped right outside the capital because, unlike the original purpose, which was to ensure the nobles' safety, the citizens were told something else.
To the citizens, this was a celebration before the war.
It was a way for the nobles of the kingdom to display their calm before the forces of the demons.
So, the nobles, who had arrived here by whatever means possible, were told to hire a carriage when they came to the royal palace.
The nobles were asked to wear attire suitable for celebration and not for war, as this would be the moment when every citizen in the capital city would be watching them.
