Russell's dragon-riding ceremony was set for September 27, more than two weeks after he rode a dragon on September 11.
With two weeks for the news to spread, news of his dragon riding was known throughout the country.
And the guests, who received the invitations, had one after another crossed the Snowfield to arrive at Glowing Valley, taking up residence in Fluorescent Castle.
Fortunately, Fluorescent Castle was large enough to accommodate so many nobles of all sizes.
Uncle Roson and elder brother Roland were the busiest two, with the duchy's lords, who made up the majority of the guests, being received by them. Only the higher nobility would have Baron Romand and his wife greet them, with Russell accompanying on the side.
Today.
Russell could finally shed the role of the family's social butterfly, which he did not enjoy, especially the pretense of warmth with people he had never met or only seen once or twice. It drained more of his energy than training would.
Of course.
