The atmosphere grew tense, and silence fell instantly as King Siegfried's entourage arrived.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Clank. Clank.
The sound of footsteps from the king's group, accompanied by several royal knights. King Siegfried glanced my way but continued walking toward Rania, Bartasz, and the others. Before long, everyone gathered and lined up by group. There were students, teachers, guards (royal soldiers), workshop artisans, and priests. Once everyone had assembled, King Siegfried and Rania briefly addressed the participants. After the speeches concluded, everyone returned to their respective positions.
Deva spotted me and approached.
"Good morning, Lun!" Deva greeted.
"Good morning to you, too, Dev!"
"Am I... interrupting?" Deva asked, glancing toward Ryda and Hellen.
"Not at all. We were chatting."
"If you two want to talk privately, we can leave..." Ryda offered.
"No, no. I only came to say hello to a friend," Deva replied.
Hahahaha~
