Seven days.
To ordinary people, it was merely another week in the calendar.
To the leaders of the Human Domain and the Devil Kingdom, however, those seven days carried the weight of centuries.

The announcement had not yet reached the common people in its entirety, but among the nobles, merchants, guilds, and military officers, the news spread like wildfire.
The entire continent seemed to hold its breath.
And thus began the longest week Edolas had seen in generations.

Carriages rolled through the streets from dawn until midnight.
