The day after the banquet, Sussex was rare to see sunshine in the deep autumn season.
The bright sunshine delighted the Old Sussex people, who were almost growing mold, to step out of their homes, to sun-dry their clothes and rusty limbs.

Empress Sylph had not demonstrated the political acumen befitting her royal status, yet exhibited an unusual destructiveness.
She merely held a banquet, causing the Macbeth Clan to lose a Transcendent, and simultaneously settling the vacant Captain of the Imperial Knight Order position.
If she was already causing such trouble without much power, what chaos would ensue if she were to regain her authority and govern personally?
It wasn't that the Ministers necessarily wanted to render the Emperor powerless.
