Chapter 69: The evolution of Dandion

• JULIAS POV,
• At 6 in the morning, Julias is standing next to Luna on a plateau at the big square. The square is swarming with people and even on the streets, it is more crowded than ever. The people seem full of anticipation and Luna looks nervous standing there on her own in front of so many people. Julias gives her an encouraging smile. From the corner of his eye, he notices Gabriel rushing into the crowd and standing still next to Angus. He looks a bit bewildered and disorientated and Julias wonders why he was so late.
• He doesn’t have much time to think about it because Luna starts her speech, “THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING. I KNOW MUCH INJUSTICE HAS BEEN DONE TO ALL OF YOU UNDER MY FATHERS RULE. I BLAME MYSELF FOR NOT TAKING ACTION. HOWEVER, WHEN KING GABRIEL AND JULIAS CAME TO DANDION THEY HAVE OPENED OUR EYES AND GAVE US HOPE FOR A BETTER FUTURE. I WILL NOT LET MY FATHER SACRIFICE HIS PEOPLE FOR A FEW DEEMED WORTHY. IN MY EYES YOU ARE ALL WORTHY! SO PLEASE STAND WITH ME WHEN WE TAKE THE CASTLE AND LOYALISTS TO MY FATHER. WE WILL GIVE THEM THE CHOICE OF ACCEPTING A NEW AGE OR THEY CAN LEAVE THE CITY. WHEN WE HAVE TAKEN THE CITY, I WILL GLADLY GUIDE EVERYONE IN THE PREPARATIONS FOR THE COMING WAR. IF YOU WILL ACCEPT ME AS YOUR NEW RULER, I PROMISE YOU I WILL ALWAYS BE HONEST WITH THE PEOPLE, WE WILL CREATE A NEW SYSTEM BASED ON EQUALITY INSTEAD OF WEALTH AND WE WILL HAVE A BOARD OF PEOPLE THAT REPRESENT DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE CITY SO WE CAN ALWAYS WORK ON IMPROVEMENT FOR EVERYONE. SO, WHO IS WITH ME?”
