Vol3 Ch6: Long may the sun shine

The night of revelry gradually came to an end, when people slowly gathered neatly and orderly on the three squares.

Initially, there was still some chattering, as well as men and women who were fixing their clothes as they returned from secluded spots that were out of sight. However, after a short while, everyone started showing pure and holy expressions like devout believers as they focused their gazes in the direction of the rising sun.

The soft light of the sun washed over everyone's bodies, which made them feel like they were being cleansed. In front of the large cathedral, standing in front of a legion of Red Sun Knights, the Cardinal of this branch of Sun Shadow church started to pray in a special language.

The prayers weren't particularly loud, but strangely, it reached the ears of everyone present, even the bottom feeder citizens on the third square at the foot of the hill were able to clearly hear every word of the Cardinal's prayers.
