After some time, Minos' group arrived at the royal palace, where the Vogel family was preparing to receive their guests for this great day.
The festival occasions of Independence Day ranged from early in the day to late at night, moving between public and more private events to which only the local high state hierarchy had access.
There were many public events around the city, but most were just for the population to enjoy and relax.
The only public event in which the royalty and the leading local powers participated was the opening of the parade of the royal forces and state army.
Such a thing was to begin in a few more hours, even before noon in this region of the Central Continent, after the royalty's breakfast with their top vassals and allies.
