The king stood proudly at the balcony of Lycoria Castle dressed in his royal robes, a deep purple garment embroidered with silver patterns that shimmered beneath the morning sun. A magnificent crown rested upon his head while his posture remained straight and commanding as he gazed down at the massive crowd gathered beneath the castle walls.
The people of Lycoria Citadel had assembled since dawn, all waiting eagerly for the official opening speech that would begin the Bonding Solstice Festival.
The moment King Enzo stepped into view, the crowd erupted.
Cheers echoed through the entire citadel as people shouted his name with excitement. Some tossed flower petals into the air while others bowed respectfully toward the castle balcony.
"Long live the king!"
"Blessings upon Lycoria!"
"Glory to the Moon Goddess!"
The noise became deafening.
Enzo slowly lifted one hand
Instantly, the uproar quieted.
The entire crowd fell silent as they waited for their king to speak.
