"Everyone, dance... Haha!"
"Where is the feast!! Bring out the food!!"
"Don't play around with fire, children!!"
"Brat! Don't jump into the water!! You'll catch a cold!!"
"Hahah... come on, guys! We're supposed to make the Archpriest happy today, not give him more reasons to worry!!"
The people were lost in celebration, their laughter echoing across the square. They were busy crafting decorations, putting on performances, and doing all sorts of creative things just to entertain Archpriest Aether, who sat high on the podium, watching it all with a calm and gentle smile.
The city, the streets... his entire territory was alive—bristling with joy, laughter, and an almost sacred sense of peace.
"Haha... come on, guys!" Aether chuckled, spotting someone attempting a ridiculous stunt, only to fall flat on their back. He laughed heartily.
Just then—
"Would you like to dance?"
