Ceremony (1)

The sky was clear and the sun was shining bright the next day.

It was almost as if the heavens themselves were blessing the ceremony that was about to come.

However, for the people involved, it was like it was storming outside.

They all looked like they hadn't slept all night.

That was because even after an entire night of thinking, they couldn't think of a way to deal with the crown prince's group.

They had just received notice that the crown prince's group was less than half a day's travel away and would arrive in time for the ceremony at noon. 

With the clock ticking down, the only thing that they could think of was to use the guards to stall the crown prince's group as much as they could.

Once the ceremony was over, even if the crown prince's group came into the town, it would be too late.

So that was the only thing that they could do.

Yue Lan even had the Mercenary Guild send some guards to help with the town.
