It was the last day of December, and the capital and the other fiefs in Amberale were alive with festive celebrations. The streets were lit with lanterns, and the evening air buzzed with excitement as the people of Amberale celebrated the end of the year and welcomed the new one.
The night was bright on this very day. The time of night was always bustling and lively during festivals.
Aristia's favorite part of the festival was the food— especially the variety of local street foods offered in the stalls. The Decker twins and other commoners who worked at the restaurant had set up stalls to sell street food, snacks and treats, thanks to Aristia sponsoring them with a sum of money for them to set up stalls on this night of the festival.
They had brought the food to the people on this occasion instead of the people coming to the restaurant.
This helped boost AE's reputation among the commoners.
