The news had spread to the tenth's people that there was an announcement to be made today, so they had gathered in the area in front of the castle. It was stationed quite a place away, and the people naturally knew to not stand too close to the front doors.
A small platform had been made outside that was raised a few feet from the ground. This was to make it feel a lot more personal. One could make a speech from the castle but it was too far and would feel disconnected from the people. Edward felt like this was their chance to bring the family closer together.
"Do you know why we were all called here today? It's been a long time since anything like this has happened?"
"I'm not sure, maybe it has something to do with the castle lighting up?"
"You think what they said about the tenth family having a new leader is true. I've been seeing people I've never seen before come and go, and I think I even saw a royal knight come here."
