Moreover, all those vassal states, those countries under the rule of the Bright Dynasty, will also come to the celebration. In this environment, security will be a serious issue, and

do wonder what they would try to do to me." Because of what had befallen Howard, Walden was starting to be more active recently after his long disappearance from the public eye. But this time, he did not make his presence felt at court. He had other business to deal with instead.
