Nolan looked at her curiously. He was certain that Seira's visit to his room was not just to tease him, but for a more important reason.
Seira was not surprised by his question. She adjusted her sitting position and explained, "I came for two things. First, Father ordered me to arrange the New Year decorations in the capital."
Nolan's eyebrows rose slightly at her words.
"He ordered you to arrange the New Year decorations? What's going on? Wouldn't it be better to hire an outside party instead of asking you to do it?" he asked doubtfully.
New Year's was an official celebration recorded in the imperial calendar.
Usually, the celebration was not only meant to mark the turn of the year but also to express gratitude to the gods for safely passing through another year.
Of course, no specific gods were named. After all, the empire did not prohibit its people from believing in any particular deity.
