The rest of the night played out as expected. Everyone enjoyed a one-of-a-kind feast prepared by Ania and Bradok leading a team made from the best chefs from across Iron Town. And no matter how Lord Draco wanted to compare the food to that of his palace, he didn't dare. That would've only discredited Lord Draco's personal staff.
Afterward, the prefecture lords sat and drank together, taking advantage of that rare opportunity to relax. The visiting kings, apart from Brak, stayed behind with the leading figures of Iron Territory.
Everyone was able to breathe and get ready for the coming day since that's when the most chaos would begin.
Before the final sun could rise, the gorilla clan was already escorting a palanquin through the main road. It was simple in design yet cast in gold. Even Lord Draco was surprised when the gorillas brought it out for him. He welcomed the ride and boastfully waved to the citizens of Iron Town.
