59 — The Yearly Banquet (1)

- One month later -

"Hurry up!"

"Put these lights there."

"Bring flowers and put them in the vases."

The servants of the Jade Palace were running back and forth in haste. No matter how fast they tried to complete their tasks, the day seemed like an eternity although the sun was already setting and the lights were already turned on. 

It was the long-awaited day— the 1st of January— the day of the banquet.

A tall ash-blonde-haired young man dressed in a dark blue suit and black pants walked inside the palace's corridors.

The maids halted once they saw the young man and quickly bowed down to the crown prince, greeting him at the same time.

Yuden nodded as he waved his hand, giving them a sign to resume their tasks. He came to the Jade Palace to look through the preparations for the ball as he wanted everything to be perfect just as it happened every year.
