A little over a month later…
Lumierian Empire.
——
The streets of the central city of the Lumierian Empire were bustling with activity, people, and ceremony.
The banner of the royal family — a silver frost-blossom encased in a jagged diamond of ice against a deep crimson field — hung from almost every building.
To some people, this was probably the first time in their lives that they had seen so many nobles on the streets at a time, and for days on end.
If one went down to the main canal where the turquoise water shimmered under the golden sunset, they could see a few small boats, around a bigger one that was a bit more majestic, draped in velvet and adorned with gold leaf, and had the same red banners of the royal family.
