Time flew by swiftly, with countless people preparing for the big day!

And as the countdown quickly drew short, the people became busier and busier than ever.

“Oh, dear! Is my merchandise T-s.h.i.+rt not ironed yet? I could be on TV!”

“Papa… Papa… They said that the stores would close on the 4-day holiday period. So shouldn’t we stack up on enough food just in case we might run out or need anything during that time?”

“Quickly! Quickly! The last set of outdoor camping tents will soon be sold out at this rate. So we have to get to the stores fast!”

“Who’s driving on that day? It’s you, right? Good! Traffic will be hectic then, so we need to get a good parking spot early.. Heh. Don’t you remember how we suffered during the last wedding? The entire district seemed so full that we were almost losing it. Luckily now, there are Parking buildings around. So we’ll have to drive in as early as possible, lest the Parking buildings get filled up too.”

“Hahahahahahah! Honey… Do you remember how we met? It was during Queen-Mother Kim’s wedding. We met at that same crowded spot that we’re planning to get to. So we can’t let anyone else take our Spot!”

“Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah~~”

….

All over Baymard, talks like this continued from both tourists and Baymardians alike.

And the Zalipnians, who have never seen a real Baymardian wedding, also felt excited, as if they were the ones getting married instead.

h.e.l.l! They began stocking up for the long 4-day holiday too.

In fact, when coming to Baymard, they thought that they would struggle way more than they are now.

But thanks to the Zalipnian government, who had long sent in their registration fees and a portion of their school fees over a whole back, they simply came over, ticked their names, went through brief formalities, and that was it.

Yes. For some, their parents had already sent complete school fees for the semester through the Zalipnian government.

But, the children were also told that during the short holidays, they could work as well… Depending on their age.

A 6-year-old couldn’t work. But a 10-year-old could work.

It was just that the sort of work the child would do wasn’t strenuous for their growth or anything of that sort.

They could be little Park rangers in training, working with ȧduŀts; they could feed the horses, plant flowers, be paper/mail boys or girls, or get hired in any jobs approved by the government for children their age.

From 9 years old to 14, children could begin work… Though the workload they could receive would be very minimal, but necessary.

In short, this was a way to help them make part of their tuition, as well as some living expenses too.

For those younger, their parents or guardians could apply to work here and take care of them until the children reached the Part-time age.

Well, some parents or guardians still chose to work and pay off their children’s tuition whether they were 6, 11 or 14.

They wanted their children to focus on school without doing part-time jobs. So they had the tuition and provided living expenses till their children came of age.

It all depended on the guardians and the parents.

.

Again, Baymard had modified some rules somewhat… Because of Zalipnia’s addition.

Think about it.

If all people were to come over to work here after the entire world got united, do you know how jammed-packed this place would be?

Not to talk of the fact that it would also affect the economy of the various empires too.

Thus, parents or guardians could stay right where they were and send the money they worked via their government.

This also saved them the expense of paying for a whole trip just to get to Baymard.

Carona, Deiferus, and all the other empires had long come up with a perfect way of collecting these expenses.

It was discussed in the last U.N meeting, just before Zalipnia joined the gang.

So a lot of adjustments were made at that time.

Plus, one shouldn’t forget that Landon had already sent a few of his men towards several Romain empires.

So he sent people there to do the job for him after leaving Zalipnia.

Hmhm… By November or latest by December, a few more treaties should get signed.

The continent of ROMAIN had 37 empires.

And because he couldn’t be everywhere at the same time, he sent his representatives and delegates.

.

Again, even though parents could be allowed to work from their empires and send over the money.

Once their children graduated, if they still owed anything, then the children would have to begin work in Baymard and pay what they owed before leaving.

It was as simple as that.

Whether they were from Carona, Arcadina or Zalipnia, they would pay anything they owed… Maybe they just owed a 2-week salary or a 1-year salary.

And once it was all paid off, they were free to go. In short, their empires would probably start calling them to come back and develop their homes.

Well, during schooling… Some of the fortunate ones, in addition to their parents or guardians sending in money, might also get scholars.h.i.+ps and other opportunities to aid them financially.

All this depended on their hard work!

Bottom line, handling all school matters for these Zalipnians was a done deal since trusted people had transported their tuition from Zalipnia to Baymard.

So when they stepped on school grounds, they were once again reaffirmed of how much they had paid and how much was owed or not owed.

Receipts were given, school welcoming packages provided, as well as several doc.u.ments.

With that, because of their priority house status, the moment they showed up for an apartment or joint home for rent… in just a day or 2, they signed, got their keys, and that was it.

Some in groups chose to stay in fenced homes rather than getting apartments.

And when it came to their priority status…  children (anyone below 14) tagged as international, meant that they might not have a home to live in and required immediate ȧssistance.

Very quickly, they prioritized their stay here, giving them time to unpack whatever items they brought from their empires, as well as get ready for school too.

.

Like so, countless people around the Baymard became busier and busier as the countdown drew nearer.

And soon, it was time!

The big day had come!
