A New Undertaking

The clock struck three and the resounding applause from the Palace Square of the Winter Palace erupted, filling it with cheers and roars as they waved their hands up in the air to welcome their Emperor who was walking over to the podium.

His kingly walk was complemented by the ceremonial bands who are playing their drums, flutes, trumpets, and other musical instruments. 

The shuttering of the cameras and the flashing of light flickered from below where the journalist and cameraman stood. 

Alexander felt invigorated at the sight before him. It was truly elegant and grand that moved his heart. He waved his hand back to them, increasing the sound of their cheers even more.
