Early morning.
Before the first rays of sunlight brightened the earth, the fully armed Guard Knights and City Guards had organized and rushed to various parts of Lutecia.
Today was the day the Central Council of the Kingdom convened; the Inner City had been secured early on. Although it did not prohibit the citizens from moving about, the solemn atmosphere and the fully armed guards still made people subconsciously avoid the main thoroughfare leading to the Royal Square.
In various parts of the Inner City, manors and villas belonging to the nobles had their lights turned on early in the morning. As the first light of dawn emerged from the east, various luxurious carriages began their journey from all over the Royal Capital, converging like streams to the central avenue of the Inner City, and then heading straight for the Royal Square.
Charlotte, too, had risen early.
