Chapter 204

Two days had passed.

Tonight, the king was giving his speech at 6 pm. King Michael felt it was his duty to tell his people about the importance of the tournament of the families. He usually summed up the years of his rule, talked about his plans for the future, prospects and shared the most important news of the Iron Throne and Rosarrio. It was something out of the ordinary, but the number of people present at his speech was bound to be greater than last time. It had to do with the fact that the king hadn't appeared in public in three years. All these years he had remained a very private person for a public figure. His royal highness did not even deign to attend the recent reception in honor of the imperial family. There were some strange rumors going around. That's why everyone was eager to know the truth. People wanted Michael to answer a simple question: why did he stop going out in public?
