In late September, Baron Roman and his elder brother Roland returned from the Populus Gobi.
The family gathered together, discussed the marital union between Roland and Gwyn, and then focused on discussing Lord Russell's Dragonriding Ceremony.
Subsequently, the invitations were sent out to the nobles throughout the Shadowflame Grand Duchy. Any noble with even a modicum of stature within the Grand Duchy received an invitation. Even esteemed personages such as Princess Anxia and Marquis Arno were on the guest list.
Even some nobles who were on bad terms with the Fluorescent Fungi Family still received invitations—this was a blatant act of bragging and provocation.
Nowadays.
Practically the entire Shadowflame Duchy had come to know that Russell had found a dragon in the snowfield and ascended to the rank of a Flying Dragon Knight. News about Russell spread rapidly through every city and manor, nearly becoming the stuff of legends.
