The entire Council Chambers fell into a deathly silence despite the enormous crowd gathered around the seven intersections.
Demons had come from every corner of the realm to witness the arrival of the Princes, filling the surrounding platforms and walkways with soldiers and civilians.

Even the soldiers lining the roads seemed to have forgotten their duties. Some sucked in sharp breaths, while others exchanged shocked glances, silently searching the faces of those around them for confirmation that they were witnessing something real.
