When everyone stood up sluggishly, Alec and the rest couldn't take it anymore.
Typically, only Alec was allowed to tell people: 'You May Rise'.
But now, they suddenly realized that indeed.... they weren't in Arcadina any longer.
As for the people, they rose because when one compared numbers in this situation.... this Royal family was clearly outnumbered here in Baymard.
So it was better to always follow what the larger populated camp said.
.
In their minds, they thought that even if Alec grew mad at them..... would he really have the time to bother with so many people all at once?
And could he say that he would remember so many people all at once?
It was like going to an airport for a day and trying to remember all the exiting and incoming passengers who made their way there daily.
It was utterly impossible!
