Given the Count's behavior, the servants didn't know what to say and could only act as he commanded.
At that moment, the Count added, "Ah, and another thing. Our castle's band and dancers—haven't they been without work for a long time? Summon them. Today is a joyous occasion; we must celebrate."
The servants exchanged glances, growing more and more certain that their master had gone mad.
And from the looks of it, this behavior was just like those scenes in the Magic Vision Devices—a final, grand display before committing suicide.
Count Randall changed into his full formal attire, including the oppressively heavy wig that would leave his head drenched in sweat after only a short while.
He summoned his entire family, who were all dressed just as formally. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought the family was on their way to receive a royal commendation.
"Band, a cheerful tune."
