Despite the fact that it was New Year, nobody in the kingdom celebrated in order to honor those who passed during the incident of the winter ball. Nobody expected it since it was already the twentieth year without any issues. But alas, they did say that all good things must come to an end. The nobles were still busy trying to make amendments to the peace treaty they have with the Angels who chose to surrender. But they can't also dismiss the fact they are suspicious.
Even though they wanted to honor the dead, they can't hold a funeral as well since it was too much of a risk. Especially when Damien, one of the strongest lines of defense they have, went to the north to deal with the invasion of these monsters because Kassandra wouldn't be in the right state of mind if she went there instead.
