With autumn officially ending, the residents of the capital city of Blackhelm were busy with preparations for the grand celebration that welcomed the white winter of Megaris, many of the children especially looking forward to the first snowfall of the season.

Ever since King Theron and Queen Esther's reign, the end of the year festival that was usually held for three days became a grander event than it was compared to their predecessor. 

Before, the palace would normally open their doors to host a royal ball to invite the nobles of the kingdom only on the first day, but now, the royal ball would be held for the entire festival period, inviting distinguished guests regardless of their background. It had become so famous throughout the continent that even foreigners from other kingdoms would even attend to enjoy the festival.
