Chapter 239: Banquet of Sacrifices (I)
Preparations for the banquet in Baroness Anastasia's mansion went smoothly. The villagers were invited in the morning, and they were allowed to come by noon, as the food had been prepared beforehand.
The villagers were ecstatic about this entire banquet because this year's winter was very harsh. Some elderly perished because they couldn't handle the cold, and the food ration had to be given to the children first to preserve the future of their small village.
They knew Baroness Anastasia was their previous queen, but since they were living in an isolated area, none of them knew about the trade ban.
Some of the youngsters went to the city to work, but most still returned to the village after they got married, because they preferred the peaceful life in their small mountainous region.
