章 70: Wedding in the village

The next morning, as the first light of dawn cast a soft, golden glow over the castle, I was awoken by a gentle knock on my door. Stretching and yawning, I called for the visitor to enter.

Lilith stepped inside, her usual calm demeanor replaced by a rare, excited energy. "Emily, good morning. You need to come to the main hall. There's something you need to see."

Curious, I quickly dressed and followed her through the castle's winding corridors. The halls were already bustling with activity, the servants and guards all seemingly in high spirits. As we approached the main hall, I could hear the sound of laughter and cheerful chatter growing louder.

When we entered, I was greeted by a heartwarming sight. The villagers were gathered, their faces glowing with excitement and happiness. Banners and garlands adorned the walls, and a large table in the center of the hall was laden with food and drink.
