Chapter 194

The next day was Eleanor's birthday banquet.

From early in the morning, the entrance of Harmony Palace, Eleanor's residence within the royal palace, was crowded with carriages, and a long red carpet stretched all the way to the street corner. Outside, more than thirty yards away, a tent had been set up with thirty tables for a public feast. Commoners could come and eat as long as enough people gathered.

Eleanor held this public feast every year under the guise of sharing her joy with the people. However, in reality, it was just a show to enhance her reputation for kindness.

In addition to the public feast, she had prepared vegetarian meals specifically for priests. Known for her devotion to religion, Elaenor donated substantial sums to temples and monasteries every year. After all, those who have committed many wrongs often seek blessings from deities.

Eleanor was hosting a large number of guests today, and she had also invited the Warren family.

Barrett and Aurora did not attend.
