The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 948

Crystal's POV:

I felt relieved when Rufus' gaze eventually shifted elsewhere.

After the speech, the parade resumed. Different phalanxes appeared one after another. This familiar scene brought back memories of the past.

Harry was right there by me at that time. He was high-spirited and swore to be loyal to the empire. Many years had passed, and we all now had our own lives. But in the real way, we never changed. We'd always remember our vows. It was for the people, for the empire, and for peace.

When I was lost in thought, Joanna took my hand and led me forward, saying, "You can have a better view here."

I nodded and thanked her.

The crowd was massive. Harry held Joanna's hand tightly, afraid that she would get lost.

Looking at their happy faces, I felt joy from the bottom of my heart. Harry and Joanna were both affectionate and loyal people. Whether it was for love or friendship, they were always sincere.

I stood quietly behind them and watched the grand parade. Suddenly, I realized how much I had gained from this trip to the imperial capital. The best part was that I could see the people I wanted to visit and know that they were happy.

The parade lasted for another hour before it came to an end. The past few years of Rufus ' leadership were clearly the most productive of his life. There was an evident widespread adulation for the king among the nobility and commoners alike. For this, I was also proud of Rufus. He deserved all the praise.

Rufus then returned to the podium to announce the closing of the ceremony.

It was almost noon. Almost four hours had passed since I left the palace. The potion and the special perfume I used to mask my scent could wear off any minute now. I couldn't wait to go back. Staying outside for a little longer would increase the risk of exposure.
