"His Majesty the Holy King, hooray-!"

The raucous cheering of the citizens reverberated throughout the city.

They had endured a hellish week. So perhaps unsurprisingly, the Holy King who had put an end to this hellish war came across as a hero and became the subject of their adulation.

Well, to be honest I've already grown used to it by now.

Even though the Paladins were doing their best to hold the citizens back, they were still reaching out to me, hoping to get noticed by me.

I waved my hands at them, but a bitter smile didn't want to leave my face.

'The losses have been pretty extensive.'

The citizens were cheering on, but I still could see several among them sobbing away as well. They probably lost their loved ones during the war.

They would no doubt be compensated adequately enough, but their deep scars would still need a long time before they had a chance to heal properly.
