Wish

When Lydia spoke, the crowd immediately silenced in reverence and anticipation.

Lydia's promise held a great significance to the people and was the primary reason of many in this midsummer festival. The conflicts between both the Reformist and King's Party were also due to this promise.

There were even ridiculous rumors of some mercenaries who wanted to request a night with Lydia or to marry her.

With Lydia's personality, they knew that she wouldn't easily go back on her words. But that didn't mean that her subjects would allow their Monarch to be tainted by an insignificant mercenary. Furthermore, there would be no emotional ties between Lydia and the mercenary as it was just a one-time promise.

All the attention was now focused on Rhode.
