Elysium's first funerals I

– POV General –

"Today, they laid down their lives for all of us, to protect our city and became the hope for the future. I, Freya Nightshade, Empress of Elysium, I kneel in honor of their deaths"

In front of thousands of saddened families and tired soldiers, the Empress had spoken these words just after kneeling before her Empire. The Queen and the two Princesses had followed right afterwards under the shocked look of absolutely all the citizens. No one had ever imagined seeing an entire Imperial family bowing before its people and yet...their eyes did not deceive them.
