It was November the fifth. Since the banquet started at noon, people were already coming in through the teleportation circle in the morning.
There were even people that came several days early. The three nearby duchies, for example. The people that represented these places weren't qualified to use the teleportation circle, so they had to make their trip ever since they received their invitation. Once they reached Bakong City, they just stayed at an inn until the banquet actually began.
In the very early morning, all the servants in the royal palace changed into their costumes. As the head butler, Burbridge himself changed into a very fine black suit. After he finished making some early arrangements, he waited for Abel to finish breakfast before leading him to the dressing room.
