Finally, the Peace Festival ended.
Once Sophie appeared before the Queen's Palace in her capacity as the Elf Queen, and offered thanks and blessings for peace and praised the friendship of the races before all the people of the Elf Country, this once-in-a-century Peace Festival officially came to a close.
The Elves clapped their hands joyfully, offering applause.
The other invited races joined in clapping, some feeling a lingering reluctance to let go.
Such festivals, for Elves, might occur about a dozen times in their lifetimes, but for other races, it was not so certain.
For humans, a hundred years often meant a lifetime had passed.
Therefore, this once-in-a-century Peace Festival may be the only one a human ever gets to attend in their life.
That's why people would feel sentimental—it was only natural.
Even Shane felt that he did not know whether he would have the opportunity to participate in a second Peace Festival.
