Chapitre 192: 192: A tense atmosphere [pt1]

"By the way, this is your first time attending a festival in the Akatsuki kingdom, right Lady Elysia? Then, you are in for a treat since it is the Herman festival you got to witness."

The sister from the temple that had been assigned to Elysia spoke happily. She looked far more relaxed than Elysia could have expected anyone to look before any ceremony.

As far as she remembered, the time for the ceremonies in the empire was filled with chaos, and everyone was trying their best to make things work. But the people of the Akatsuki kingdom were too relaxed as they went their ways.

Elysia could not hear hurried footsteps running around. Nor was there any noise trying to calm themselves down. The festive atmosphere Elysia had gotten used to was not there. 

"Is Herman festival something special? I asked a little bit but no one could tell me what the festival was about."
