His voice grew increasingly fervent, the crowd erupted in thunderous agreement.
"Long live Emperor Saint Baldo! Long live the Cerryti Empire!"
The people of Cerryti shouted in unison, over and over again.
The applause was prolonged, Emperor Saint Baldo raised his hand to greet the people.
The sound slowly calmed once more.
Everyone knew that at this moment, one of the day's most important ceremonies—the Ceremony of Blessings by the Twelve War Gods—was about to take place in the sacred Cret Memorial Square.
The bells that had already rung finished their echo, but now they tolled twelve additional chimes, slowly, as the doors of the Divine Descendant Cathedral at the side of Cret Memorial Square began to open.
Those doors were another entrance to the imperial army headquarters' "Divine Descendant Hall," a symbolic ancient architectural relic preserved by the Cerryti Empire for years.
