The News That Shook The Kingdom (2)

Orion, feeling a bit uncomfortable with the spotlight now squarely on them, was a little surprised at how King Brylon's voice effortlessly filled the expansive hall, reaching every corner of the grand amphitheatre. 

Just as he was contemplating this, he felt a discreet pinch on his right arm. It was Flintor, silently urging him to step forward. Recognizing the summons, Orion walked forward, positioning himself behind Princess Crystalia and Queen Selene, until he arrived at King Brylon's right-hand side.

As Orion stood at King Brylon's side, he observed the curious gazes of all the guests fixated on them. "For those of you who have heard the rumours and seek confirmation, and for those who remain uncertain," King Brylon said, acknowledging the widespread gossip that had undoubtedly reached the major clans, while the smaller clans looked on in confusion. He continued with a confident tone, "I am here to confirm that the rumours are indeed true."
