That night, Grandville came alive in celebration of its great milestone.
The plaza glowed with colorful lights while long banquet tables overflowed with dishes of every kind.
Today had been marked on the calendar. And this night, no one will be left out.
Subjects, friends, allies, even merchants and travelers who had come when they heard rumors of the new city.
They were all welcome.
The evening began with Lucien's speech and now... the banquet was in full swing. Laughter and chatter filled the air as people of every status mingled freely.
The merchants and travelers were stunned. They had never seen such generosity from a lord and it struck them as proof of just how powerful and resourceful Lucien's new territories were.
Even the quietest guests couldn't resist the cheer of the night. Before long, they too were smiling and sharing in the festivity.
Friends and allies presented gifts to mark the milestone.
