Chapter 99 – Esmeray
Friday finally arrived.
The Royal Palace was bustling with preparations for tomorrow's event, everything needing to be put in place for the heirs.
The palace cooks had already been given their instructions and were preparing a cornucopia of food for the occasion.
For that, untainted animals — ordinary animals with little to no essence in them, which had survived since the Age of Heedlessness thanks to extensive protection — were brought in to be slaughtered.
Sheep, goats, deer, chicken and even some bulls were all prepared for the feast.
There was also salmon and other fish that could only be sourced from the Wild Sea at the east of the Heartland.
Beyond the food, drinks and sodas were prepared alongside candies and other sweet treats for those who fancied such things.
The Hall of Welcomes of the Hood — where the event was held each year — was being cleaned and arranged, everything being set in place for the heirs to enjoy.
