The banquet finished rather smoothly and explosively.
The next day, everyone in the entire capital was in an uproar. How could they find themselves waking up with the news that the Third Prince will be holding his engagement ceremony today in the Temple?
He is getting gloriously engaged to the most capable woman in the empire, Lady Eli of the Forgeworn and Farauld family!
As soon as this news was verified in the Empire's newspaper, the people did not take down the celebratory flags and the night market booths.
Instead, they added more flaglets and even prepared a basket of petals to throw later when the newly engaged couple marched out of the Temple.
After such a hard time for the Empire, joyous after joyous events kept on happening which made the people in high spirits.
In the palace, Eli was given her own private chamber in Queen Tehila's place.
