Aside from the king's royal cabinet members, their families and a few other guests who didn't hang around for the firework display, everyone else who stayed back had a bitter story to tell.
They were either the victims of stray bullets or exhausted from running for their lives.
Thankfully, no good or bad situation lasts forever. The horror of the night came to an end after the engagement of the disruptive assassins by the heroic palace guards.
More palace guards and soldiers were deployed to guard the royal family, while the royal physicians attended to the wounded, prior to the arrival of the paramedic.
Some of the guests were seen picking up what was left of their trampled self-pride and escorted out of the courtyard. While a few just remained seated on the grass floor, recounting their horrific tale to first aiders attending to them.
