"Following the time" was originally a characteristic and privilege of the aristocrats because only the aristocrats held the tools and methods to accurately calculate time. Whether they were magic timers or mechanical clocks from the Dwarf Kingdom, all of them weren't items that civilians could possess. Thus, the aristocrats viewed "following the time" as a part of upper-class society, treating it as an etiquette and rule, while civilians simply relied on the sun and astrology to roughly gauge the time and arrange their work using that. This was a normality at any aristocratic territory other than the Cecil territory.
However, in the Cecil territory, everyone's lives would strictly follow "time" — which hour and minute to start work, which hour and minute to end work, what time the mess hall served meals, what time night classes began. Everything had a precise timescale, from the territory officials to the common people; that was the case for everyone.
