The Adelaire Empire was thrown into a festive mood with no prior warning at all. The hidden organizations that threatened the empire's peace disappeared one after another, the Emperor began moving against the corrupt nobles, and last but certainly not least, their beloved princess finally returned.
For 3 days and 3 nights, a mighty celebration took place. The streets of every town in the Empire were lined with people, slinging decorations and enjoying themselves at street stalls.
Even the Empire's soldiers were mobilized to maintain peace in the entire empire and allow all its citizens to celebrate. Some doubted whether the Emperor was becoming senile in old age, throwing such a grand celebration, but even they were soon caught up in the jovial atmosphere, joining the bustling crowds.

Within the Imperial Palace, a scene completely different from the festivities outside was taking place.
