The next few months flew by almost unnoticed. Life went on as usual, the days fell into their familiar routine, and worries and tasks smoothly replaced one another. Walks in the garden, meetings with nobles, discussions of economic issues, lessons with Ruby — all of this merged into a calm, almost monotonous rhythm.
But even in such a measured routine, there was always room for events that could not be ignored. And one of them, without a doubt, shook the entire empire.
Not long ago, loud, almost deafening news swept through the country of Eidelman: the war with the hostile empire of Hyperion had finally ended, and it ended not with defeat, but with a resounding victory for our empire.
This news spread through cities and villages, causing a real explosion of emotions. Newspapers were full of headlines, city streets were filled with flags bearing the empire's coat of arms, and people gathered in groups in squares and taverns, staging impromptu celebrations.
