As soon as the hot summer came to the empire, many in the capital held holidays in all the streets. They opened shops with sweets, jewelry and other things, and the merchants only called anyone who passed by, shouting about how wonderful they were. Duke Léon de Acheron often dressed up as commoners and liked to walk along these streets to see how ordinary people live. Having firmly fastened his sword to his belt, he continued on his way, eating an apple along the way, enjoying a peaceful life.
