章節 52: Two Quick Visits

When the speech was over, a deep silence fell over the area.

Kael wasn't sure if it was an effective speech or not. It was as if the townspeople were not sure what to say or how to react.

The soldiers and Hakon didn't push them too hard. After the speech was over, they turned around and walked out of town, not caring much about the silence.

And that's when Kael realized something else. All the soldiers who had no business in the town were always waiting outside.

'So as not to scare the people?'

That was the most logical option he could come up with.

But... it only made him more confused.

The Empire... it was not supposed to be this good.

From his experiences at the palace, from what he had heard all his life, he had always thought that the Empire would be something more like a cruel dictatorship. So... tyrannical and evil.

But they were too nice to the townspeople. Or at least they tried to look like that.
