The ancient Silver Castle had been thoroughly renovated. Shrubs and flowerbeds were meticulously trimmed, and centuries-old classical pillars and arcades were adorned with vibrant garlands. Drapes bearing the Empire's emblem hung from the second floor of the castle down to the ground. In the large courtyard in front of the main castle, the venue for the evening banquet was already prepared—
The banquet following the coronation ceremony would be divided into two parts, internal and external. The main hall of the castle was the venue for the internal banquet, featuring more luxurious decor and stricter etiquette, while the courtyard at the front of the castle would host the external banquet, inviting all the aristocrats of the capital, merchant representatives, church members, and citizen representatives to attend.
Clearly, Rebecca preferred the lively atmosphere of the courtyard.
