"Your Highness, please tell us what is happening at the border!" someone shouted from within the massive crowd, their tone filled with desperation.
"Yes, Your Highness! Please tell us about the war. Are we winning or losing?"
"Please let us know about our situation… How much longer will this war last?"
Empress Varia could clearly see the sadness and concern on everyone's faces. It wasn't difficult to tell just how worried the citizens had become.
"Calm down, everyone. Let Her Highness speak," one of the guards shouted in an authoritative voice, immediately silencing the crowd.
"Thank you," Empress Varia said with a nod and a gentle smile before focusing her gaze on the citizens gathered before her.
With a steady and composed voice, she began to speak. "Dear citizens of the Demonic Empire, I understand your concerns regarding the war."
"However, there is no longer any need to worry," she continued after a brief pause, a smile appearing on her face.
