Rallying Speech

On the national television channel, every show that the people were watching was instantly replaced by an emergency broadcast. Everyone was confused, wondering what was happening. It was the first time that happened on people's television and from the image flickering on the screen alone, they can tell that it was serious.

Seconds later, the bright red written text on the television screen was replaced by a view of a massive plenary hall of the Imperial Council Building.

At the center, a man was walking on the platform and stopped at the podium. The camera zoomed in and that's when the people recognized the person. It was their emperor, His Majesty Alexander Romanoff.

Alexander can be seen fixing his tie as if preparing for a speech. After that, he placed his hand on the sides of the podium, glancing around as if eyeing every member of the Council present in the plenary hall.
