Emma was still speaking as she had gotten very close to the dining table,

"I remember when I'll be among the crowd watching the tournament, and I'll keep admiring him".

She reached the dining table, dropped the tray of food on it, cleared the tray of plates as all the plates of food were on the dining table currently. Holding the tray in her right hand, she voiced out once again,

"Yes, I admired him 'cause of that, but that isn't even the main reason why I fell in love with your father. There's another one, the main one...your father should know that".

Emma made that last utterance glancing at, Ethan, and Ethan smiled at that moment. Then Emma began strolling straight to the kitchen, she wanted to go drop the tray there.

Both of the servants were in the kitchen, so the moment Emma was strolling into it, the both of them were sauntering out of it, and there was another tray in Alora's hands with some sets of plates on it and some delicious stuff in them.

The both of them made their way to the living room, then Alora walked straight to the dining table, dropped the tray on it, then cleared the tray of plates as all the plates were on the dining table currently.

..They were gonna be eating a nice delicacy for breakfast today.

As Alora was strolling toward the kitchen to drop off the tray there, Emma was sauntering out of it.

Right now, all the Dankworth family including the maids were sitting round the dining table having breakfast. As they ate, Aiden thought of something. He remembered asking Oliver and Ava if they'll be present at the festival that was to take place today, and their answers were yes.

Oliver said something like he was present at the last one that took place years ago, he was about the same age as Aiden, and he hadn't started understanding a lot of things at that time.

But at that age, Aiden understood every single thing that was happening around him. Remember, he was an adult in a young boy's body. Oliver was present at the festival that took place years ago, but Ava wasn't.

According to what Ava told him, her parents didn't bother to go, so she couldn't go as well. How would she go when her parents didn't go? But they were coming to today's own, and Aiden was eager to see them.

They said they'll come early with their parents in order not to come and go back...that would be really bad. Aiden remembered them teasing him about something, and while he was still eating, a smile appeared on his face.

The both of them knew Aiden's dad was an average-ranked chief, and they know the officials would be staying at a separate place at the festival. So these were the words that flowed out of Oliver's mouth while they were at school,

'Special boy, you and your family would be treated specially at the festival, you guys would be sitting at a different place at the festival. I wish you were me, and I wish I was you'.

Thinking about Oliver's utterance, the smile on Aiden's face broadened, but he made sure his family didn't notice it. Ava also made a similar utterance, but it wasn't the exact same thing as Oliver's.

..He was sure of one thing, he wanted to see them at the festival, he was eager to see them.

******

It had gotten close to the time when the festival would begin. The Dankworth family was already prepared apart from, Lydia, as known, she was the only one that wouldn't be going to the festival.

They were strolling out of the house currently, and Lydia was following them from behind. Reaching the compound, Ethan focused his gaze on Lydia and said some things to her like watching over the house and the rest of other things.

Lydia only nodded her head to his statement and strolled back into the house. Then the rest began sauntering toward the horse that had a carriage attached to its back...they were gonna use it in journeying to the place where the event would take place.

Reaching the horse, Aiden said to Ethan, "Dad, I'll like to join you on the horse".

"You don't want to stay in the carriage with the others?". Ethan inquired.

"No, I'll like to stay on the horse with you". Aiden responded.

"What is your reason?".

"I just want to stay on the horse with you, no major reason".

"Okay then, if that's what you want".

And with that, Ethan loosened the rope that was tied to the horse to stop it from moving away. Then he helped Aiden sit on the horse, and the rest began moving into the carriage. That included Emma, Hazel, and Alora.

Then Ethan mounted the horse as well and rode it out of the compound as it neighed. He rode it straight into the village square heading to the place where the festival was gonna take place.

..As known, their house wasn't that far from the open space where the event was gonna take place, so it was gonna be a journey of minutes.

But some people were gonna journey for hours before they get to the place, their house wasn't that close to the open space...the place that seemed like a stadium.

Aiden was on top of the horse, so as it was moving, he was glancing around. You know, it was a nice feeling to be on top of a horse and it was moving. But it would become a very bad experience for you when you're uncomfortable and fall off the horse.

..Or you're the one riding the horse, you thought you could ride a horse properly now...but it happens to be that you still have a lot to learn.

..It would become a really bad experience for you.

But Aiden was on top of the horse, he was comfortable, and he wasn't the one riding it, so he was enjoying himself.

Ethan rode the horse until they arrived at the place where the festival was gonna take place. Now, they weren't exactly at the open space where the festival was gonna take place, some little more sauntering...and they'll arrive at the place.

They were at a certain place now where they could see a lot of horses as well, Ethan was gonna park the horse here before he and his family strolls into the main place where the festival was gonna take place.

There was a certain man there coordinating how people that came with horses would have to park them so they wouldn't move away. Not everyone came there with a horse, some people trekked to this place.

The people that trekked were just strolling straight into the main place where the event was gonna take place. A person would have to pass through a certain gate before getting to the main place where the event was gonna take place.

With the help of the man, Ethan was able to park his horse well, and the man attached a certain rope to it so it wouldn't be able to move away. It wasn't a minute event, they were gonna spend hours in there, so they needed their horses to be intact.

Hazel, Alora, and Emma came out of the carriage, then Ethan came down from the horse and helped Aiden come down from it as well. Then they began strolling toward the gate together, the open space was fenced round.

From where they were currently, though they hadn't passed through the gate and entered the main place where the event was gonna take place, they could see the chairs...and people were sitting on them already.

As said, the chairs were arranged in six rows shaped in form of a circle. Each row was above the other, so they were high enough for someone to see them without even stepping foot into the main place.

As Ethan and his family were strolling toward the gate, a few people were already passing through the gate, and few people were strolling along with them heading toward the gate as well.

They reached the gate, opened it, then stepped foot into the main place where the event was gonna take place. And as they were strolling, Aiden could now take a proper view of the open space.

The chairs were arranged in a circle, but that didn't stop people from entering the open space. The chairs were arranged in a way that there was space for people to stroll into the open space, the chairs weren't blocking the gate.

As known, people were already sitting on the chairs, but they weren't filled up, there were still lots of vacant chairs for people to occupy.

..And glancing front, Aiden sighted something else.
