The festive atmosphere filled the entire estate. Everyone was radiant with joy.
The merriment was resulting from the feudal lord's having finally welcomed his son that day. He had been having trouble having a descendant to the throne, so now the previous worry regarding the inheritance of the manor, which had been troubling him so much, was finally resolved!
It was a great, joyous occasion, especially since having a noble without an heir meant that the manor would be revoked after the noble died. Not only would that mean the end of his family line, but it would also mean that his underings would lose their protection as well. This included even the people that worked and resided in the manor.
