**ADDIE'S POV**
The guests were slowly arriving at the palace for the festival. There were tables set up in various parts of the ballroom as well as outside. There were no assigned seating for anyone but those that were sitting at the table with me. Of course, that was Callum, Juliana, Nolan, Grandfather, Uncle Dominic, Uncle Isaiah, and Aunt Caitlin. Briar wasn't here with us because he was back in the village that I came from, but that was fine. He was where he wanted to be right now. And probably where he needed to be as well.
