Chapter 1716 Time To Act!

December 7th is Christmas Day.
The schools began in August to ensure many had this entire 1 month of rest before schools resumed in the first week of January.
In fact, their vacation was 1 month and almost 2 weeks since some finished their final exams on November 17th.
Since then, they have been at home resting with many getting part-time jobs instead.
Of course, some who live close to the coastal ports in all Pyno, already planned to leave Baymard after Christmas.
By ship, the longest trip to the ports was at most 6 days, which was in Deiferus.
They planned to do quick trips to see their loved ones for a few days before returning.
But for those in further UN empires like those in Zohl and Romain, many chose to stay within Baymard instead. Some also decided to use this opportunity to explore the other Pyno empires too.
With the results settled, everyone quickly rushed to the stores, ushering in yet another crazy Baymardian stampede.
What? The stores will be closed from tomorrow for 3 days straight and you expect them to sit still?
No way!
In the stores, several people gathered and flew in the air, grabbing the closest last-minute Christmas trees they could find.
"Let go, lady! This is my mom's first Christmas and I want to impress her well." 𝑵𝓞𝗏𝞮𝓁𝚞𝑠𝕓.𝑪𝗈𝓂
"Screw you! Do you think you're the only one with first-time Christmas guests? Believe it or not, I'll be walking out of here with his Christmas tree in my cart!"
"F***! How can the Christmas light aisle be empty? Where are they? Where are they? What will I use to exchange the tree with now?"
"Wipe! Excuse me, old lady. I've got a better deal for you here. If you let me have this tree, I'll let you go on a date with my grandpa. I just overheard you say you're a widow. So how about it? How about giving me the tree in exchange for a one-time romantic date with my grandpa?"
"Bah! Who wants to have anything with your old man? Sure, I might be a widow lacking a little comfort, if you know what I mean... but that doesn't mean I'll allow any toad to eat my Swan meat! Instead, let me spin a good one on you. How about I save your lonely life by letting you date my 6th Grandson in exchange for the tree?"
(-_-)

All around the stores, many fought for the last items on the shelves scrambling for them like starved dogs thirsty for the hunt.
It was amazing that even the elderly were so nimble in times like these.
Some even brought balloons filled with water to threaten people with.
"Just put it down and walk away... yes... that's it... nice and slow."
Never have the youngsters felt so aggrieved with the elderly especially those from other UN nations who were doing Christmas shopping for their first time.
F***!
Earl Clifford had his hands raised in defeat, still baffled by the fact that he was being threatened by a sweet old lady.
What happened to the peaceful Baymard he saw earlier? Where were they suddenly so aggressive?
Raven, who had experienced shopping in Baymard, had already fallen to the ground and crawled underneath others before grabbing the only angel star decoration left.
It was to be placed on the very top of the tree.
"Dad, little Gugu, uncles... What are you all doing? Follow my lead and my instructions or there won't be anything left for us!"
"_"
Daughter/sister/little miss... what happened to you here?
----
"It's mine!"
"It's mine!"
"Hooray! I've got the last stockings!"
"Dammit! The store is all out of Christmas pudding cake! With how bad I am at baking, what else am I going to bring to display?"
"Mommy... mommy... don't forget the milk and cookies. It's only reasonable that we give Santa something to eat and drink after he has worked so hard to deliver my presents. I might be 3, but I must be polite with him."
"Amazing! This is the Ultra turtle ninja action figure set. I can't believe I'm getting my hands on one now. My little nephew sure will like this."
"Although I know Santa is a mythical being that doesn't exists, it's still nice to see presents under the tree every Christmas morning. Dad, I might be 5 years old, but I know you work hard. So can you give me money to secretly buy you a gift too?"
Ho-Ho-Ho!
Merry Christmas!
The stores and the malls were jam-packed with Santa figures waving their bells and greeting any who enter.
And thus began the great Christmas siege that plagued Baymard from its core right up.
On Landon's end the palace was also getting ready for the big festivities, especially since on Christmas Eve, which was tomorrow, the palace will always call its most prominent overseers, workers, ministers, and many others to come in and celebrate with the Royals.
Everything will also be taped and broadcast live too.
Out in the city Square, there was a mega Christmas tree out there too.
There will be carolers, and even a Christmas festival taking place around there for those who want to have fun.
You can take your lover or family to play festival games like whacking a mole or throwing a ball at a target or a Christmas prize.
There will also be indoor concerts nearby, and fireworks too.
One shouldn't forget the many Christmas foods and cakes that will also be sold during the festival.
Everyone was thrilled that tomorrow, there will be little to no chance of rainfall.
The weather forecast only said the day will be filled with cold winds, so everyone should have their jackets on.
As for what the weather would be like on Christmas day itself, well... they were expecting light rain in the afternoon till the following day.
It's said that the rains will only get super heavy the day after Christmas.
Many already saw it as a day to snuggle in bed and enjoy their last public holiday period before going back to work.
Snow usually starts falling around December 18th.
Christmas date was made this early because Landon didn't want the festivities to fall on a snowy period.
That's why rather than having Christmas on December 25th, it was done on December 7th.

Great!
With everything in order, Landon finally headed to his office, waiting for his special guests to arrive.
Knock. Knock. Knock~
"Big brother Landon, you sent for me?"
"Yes, Tilda... come in."
It was time she fulfilled her destiny.
As Dafaren's future monarch, it was time she headed back in secret and built her forces!
