Chapter 158 Party Time
n
n
nScott and his family, were finally ready for his Majesty's party.
nScott stood outside his house and rushed his family out.
nScott wore black pants, a black blazer..... and of course a white shirt and cream colored petite coat underneath the blazer.
nTo finish his look off, he wore a black bowtie, black socks, and black rubber shoes.
nActually, the rubber shoes were designed to look like classic formal shoes back on earth.. the only difference was that they were made from rubber.. and not leather and so on.
nIn future, of course other materials would be used for making shoes... but not right now.
nScitt and his son wore the same attire,.. while his wife wore a blue party gown, and his 2 daughters wore pink princess style gowns.
n
"Hurry! Hurry!.. let's go! let's go!... we'll miss the scheduled truck.
"
nHis family took their thick coat sat the coat rack by the door, and quickly rushed out of the house.
nFor today's celebration, his majesty had arranged for several trucks to drive the people to the castle.
nOne had to know that the distance was quite far.
nOn a traffic filled day, if one were to drive a car between each between each region at a normal speed limit of 60 mph.... then they would take at least 35 minutes between each region.
nSo for example if everyone had cars and the roads had traffic, then someone leaving the castle towards the first District in the Central region... would take at least 35 minutes to arrive at their destination.
nBut since there was no traffic yet within Baymard, it usually took 16 minutes to drive within each region.
nSo if they had to walk to the castle from their houses, wouldn't that take a lot of time? And wouldn't they end up just sweating over their formal?
nNo one would like to go to a party all covered up in sweat, hence Landon had arranged different pickup times for all the citizens.
nThe trucks would pick people up between 4 P.M and 6 P.M... so that would mean that by 6:30 P.M maximum, everyone would have already arrived at the party.
nScott and his family had chosen the 5:16 truck schedule within their street area.
nThe sky had just started to get dark, and the truck stop was just a 5 minute walk from their home.
nThey hopped into the truck, along with several other families, and headed over to the castle.
n.
n
"Waaahhhh... Dad look!!! His daughter said, as they stepped off the truck.
n
"Mummy, its so beautiful!
" Said his other daughter.
nAs for himself, his wife and his son, they were so mesmerized that they didn't even hear the comments from the little girls.
n'Breathtaking', he thought.
nIn fact, all the other families who had jumped out of the other trucks just now..... were also astonished as well.
nThe entire place looked like a mythical land.
n'Is this what heaven looks like?' Scott questioned inwardly.
nThe massive carriage road in from of him, had several glowing balls.... that were placed at both sides of the road.
nThese glowy balls, were spherical in shape and had the size of large truck tires.
nThey produced different colored lights, and made Scott feel like he was walking within a fairytale world.
nApart of the carriage path, several of these glowy balls had also been placed across the lawns... and on some large rocks as well.
nEveryone was filled with amazement, as they looked at the scene before them.
n
"Welcome esteemed guests!
"
nIn front of them were 2 butlers, who were in charge of leading their group in.
nThey walked in awe around the castle, and finally arrived at the main hall.
nScotts mouth quivered as he looked at the scene in front of him.
nHow could such a place exist in this world?
nIt was almost like his majesty had brought a whole mythical forest into his palace.
n
n
nAt this point, Scott wouldn't be too surprised if he saw birds and butterflies flying around the hall.
n
"Oh my heavens, are these trees?
"
n
"Mummy! Daddy! it's so pretty!!
"
n
"Are we still in Baymard?
"
n
"Amazing!!
"
n
"__
"
nScott had never seen anything like this in his entire life.
nThere were several glowing trees and flowers alongside the corners of the massive hall.
nThe trees had several lights and objects on them, that made the scene look magical!!
nA little distance ahead of the trees.... were hundreds of rectangular tables, arranged in a manner that left the center hall open for dancing and so on.
nThe chairs had red bows tied behind them... and every table had cutlery, plates, cups, and several 'lights in a jar' after every after 3 seats.
nThe Hall itself was enormous as hell, hence could accommodate everyone in Baymard.
nOne could imagine this hall, to be similar to that in the last scene of 'Beauty and the Beast'..... were Beauty dances with the Beast who had already turned back into his human form.
nIt was really massive.
nOnce Scott and his family arrived at the hall, another butler found seats for them.
nAnd after settling down, they began discussing with other people on their table.
nTime passed by, and it was finally 6:30 P.M.
nParty Time!!
nThe drums thumped loudly, and a group of excited dancers came towards the center of the hall.
nThey danced majestically, mingled amongst the crowd.... and finally went towards the stage.
nAs they danced, they pounded their chests proudly and yelled Baymard!!, at several intervals.
nTheir dance told the story of the people's suffering and pain within the empire.
nThe dancers bent their backs and acted like farmers in the farms, some also shivered and fell on the ground from cold and so on.
nAnd after some story narrations about their suffering, the good part began.
nThe dancers demonstrated all their blessings and riches that they had gotten ever since Landon had come to Baymard.
nThey showed Baymards story through their dance.
nAnd at this point, even the audience themselves wanted to join the dance as well.
nScott felt very emotional, as he remembered how he almost lost his wife from starvation and malnutrition. ... but his majesty came made the lands bare fruit again.
nHe looked at his wife and his eyes turned moist again.
nHis wife looked back at him and leaned on his shoulders.
nThey didn't say anything... but somehow, they understood each others heart.
nTheir children on the other hand, who were previously crying... were now beating their chests proudly and also chanting: Baymard! Baymard! Baymard!
nThe audience was so immersed in the story, that they too began beating their chests as well.
nSuddenly, the rhythm of the drums changed.
