"Take the throne!"
"Drive out the Salvation Order and save this kingdom!"
The fervent cries of the crowd left Zvalter stunned.
"T-This is..."
Even before reaching the capital, nearly everyone they encountered had joined him, forming a growing throng of hopeful citizens. Though he had resolved to take the throne, the sheer openness and fervor of the people’s demand overwhelmed him.
"What is happening here? We heard Ghislain had secured the capital, but no one mentioned it was in this state."
The nobles and soldiers accompanying Zvalter shared his confusion. They had been briefed on the fall of the capital and the death of the king, but this level of public enthusiasm was unexpected.
Claude stepped forward, cleared his throat, and raised his voice.
"I am Claude, steward of the Fenris estate and advisor to Marquis Ferdium!"
The mention of "Fenris" drew an immediate roar of approval.
"The hardships you’ve endured under the tyrant’s oppression are not unknown to us! It was to liberate you, the people, that Marquis Ferdium sent Lord Ghislain ahead to rid us of the king!"
"Hurrah for Lord Ghislain!"
"He ended the tyrant’s reign!"
"Long live the Fenris family!"
Encouraged by the crowd's reaction, Claude continued.
