Days quickly passed by with everyone in Stella's family busy with the preparations for the celebration.
The Grand Magus arrived in advance with his fellow magicians to ensure the safety of the event. Some of the magicians were to stay in strategic locations around the castle while the others would join the celebration like normal participants to look out for any suspicious people.
At least two magicians were also assigned to join the knights who guard each entry and exit point in Alejandro. They could easily signal the Grand Magus if something was wrong.
The number of knights in the castle was also greatly increased in case an attack occurred during the event. It was already increased after the incident where they went missing, but there were even more now.
Stella couldn't help but be nervous when she realized that it wasn't a celebration she could enjoy. Every time she went somewhere, she encountered knights.
