The day of the Kingdom's anniversary arrived in no time.
Just like the previous year, both commoners and aristocrats had begun making preparations long before.
The streets of the capital and the whole of Amberale were lit up and a heavy air of festivity could be felt by all.
Aristia and her family had already headed to the Palace a week ago.
The previous day, after the adults met the envoys from other kingdoms, they attended the banquet in the evening.
The morning of this day, they headed to the Temple.
Aristia ate a lot the night before because of this moment, which she regretted because of how uncomfortable it was to overeat.
She ignored all the stares of the palace servants who were waiting to see her reaction. It was only later that she heard that the servants' mantra was actually 'never let the princess go hungry'.
