Chapitre 3: The King's Speech
There were silence and uncertainty in the crowd. As the king has ordered, everyone who survived the ordeal and was transported to this new world was currently gathered in the castle's large courtyard. A mini podium with a magic voice enhancer has been set up in front of the entire crowd.
"Silence!" A government official standing on the side of the stage bellowed.
"King Adrian Vathria has graced us with his presence! Salute!" The government official put his right hand on his left chest, where his heart should be. Everyone in the crowd followed suit. King Adrian walked to the podium with an escort of knights. As he stepped up the podium, the knights formed a perimeter around him.
"Test...test...is this thing on?" King Adrian spoke to the magic voice enhancer which was the shape of a hollow tube. Everyone's faces started to become a bit confused. That was not really a display suitable for a king.
"It's on, King Adrian. You may speak." The government official who was standing on the sie of the stage said to the king.
"Alright. Greetings, citizens of Vathria. As you may have known, we are not currently in the city of Dathria, the capital we loved so much anymore." King Adrian's voice was dignified.
Hearing the king's confirmation that they have been transported somewhere, the crowds started to murmur among themselves as they worry about their current situation.
"I, as the ruling King of Vathria, have a duty to explain the truth to the citizen...we have been transported to another world."
The crowd gasped. The murmur turned into rambles and chats full of fear.
"Your Majesty! What about my family!?" A man shouted.
"My husband was fighting with the army!" A woman also chimed in
"SILENCE!" Braum, who was standing near the stage, bellowed in anger.
"Have you no respect!? Interrupting the King's speech?" Braum said to the crowd. Everyone began to quiet down. They finally realized what they were doing to a King.
"Thank you, Braum. But also, I fully understand your worries...truthfully, I am also worried but we had no choice...The legends we tell our children for centuries were true. Our kingdom Vathria came from a different world to escape the same evil forces that we just escaped from. 500 years have past and our kingdom has grown lenient for thinking that those monsters won't follow them to another world. But as we all know, 5 years ago, the evil forces arrived and it is the same kind who chased us away from our previous world...
With the capital gone and humanities lost, the previous king has entrusted me, King Adrian, to yet again transport the kingdom to another world and rebuild." King Adrian paused.
Everyone's faces were full of tears. They were reminiscing about the heroic sacrifices that the people who were left behind made so that they would be able to escape.
"But I say we don't let the sacrifices of our people be in vain! We shall not make the same mistakes as our ancestors! This time, we will build an empire that is able to not only withstand but defeat the evil forces! No more shall we run from world to world to escape them. Now we KNOW for a fact that they will also follow us to this world. I don't know how long would that take. A year? a decade? a century, a millennium? I don't know. But I do know they will be back. This time, we will be prepared! We shall take vengeance upon our ancestors and spread the glory of Vathria to this world. Citizens, are you with me!!?" The King's speech was passionate and at the end, he raised his hand to the sky.
For around three seconds, the entire scene was quiet. For a moment, Adrian thought he said something wrong. But suddenly, one person started to cheer and a domino effect followed. The cheer lasted for fifteen minutes and it shall be recorded down in history.
