Chapter 38 - Chapter - 38

After talking Edward and Summer walked towards the palace gates to checkout the things. After reaching there as he thought Merlin started helping the people who came heal using he magic and there were servant who were setting up the tables and chairs in few rows. Although people have started coming it will still take come time to gather whole 20,000 people seeing that Edward went inside again. He also asked Summer to inform Merlin that she should stop healing process for now as prince said he well help them later. After hearing to Summer Merlin stopped the process and too went inside after saying few words with the crowd.

After sometime the space between palace and residential district was filled with the crowd. After seeing almost everyone is present Edward and the family went out towards the platform outside the palace to meet them. After arriving Lucas started the speech.

Lucas: [ People of the kingdom seeing you all here and fine makes me feel happy. Today we were able to defend the kingdom against the powerful enemy is all because of this powerful barrier and the one who set it up, Prince Edward. ] After saying that he stopped.

Hearing that people started cheering and praising Edward for being able to set up this powerful barrier and started laughing happily thinking that they were safe inside the barrier.

Lucas: [ With the help of this barrier we were able to get rest and time to cure up the injuries and gain back some strength. After regaining the strength we might have to again fight against the enemy as they haven't left the surroundings. They are threat to the kingdom so to be ready for attack anytime we should be ready. And now Prince Edward has something to say to you all. ] After saying his piece Lucas gestured Edward to take the stage.

Hearing that they can get time to get cure and be safe for sometime everyone were happily laughing but after hearing that they have to fight again against the powerful enemy atmosphere around the palace became heavy, seeing that Edward coming some started to cheer for him. Seeing that atmosphere wasn't right Edward said

Edward: [ I know that everyone is scared about thinking of the future, and i'm too but getting scared doesn't get us anything, if we want to continue to live that all we have to do is defeat the enemy at our doors. But to do that we have to fight them back strongly but if we get scared and lose the will to fight even before we fight then we might as well go and die because i wouldn't want a soldier who lost his will to fight guarding my back and the kingdom when i fight the enemy in the future.

Losing the will, getting scared of the future and giving up on the kingdom if we do that then we will bring shame to the Heroes who have fought hard and sacrificed their life to protect the kingdom, These Heroes may be your family members, may be your friends, may be your neighbors or only have acquaintance by shaming them it would be like condemning them to hell and they won't be able rest in peace.

Today i will tell you something i have been talking with may father his majesty the king that we should build a mausoleum for the dead and to engrave their names and deeds an the walls of the mausoleum so that if we win the future generation can know about their ancestors great deed and so their spirits may guard the kingdom. So i will fight the enemy in the front line with or without the soldiers or the people as i don't want to bring shame to all the heroes of this kingdom. ] Edward poured out all his feeling before the people.

Hearing to Edward's speech and thinking about the dead family members or friends all the people who were started losing their will to fight started feeling ashamed for their cowardliness. Remembering their stance to fight even at the death's door and their courage to face it people were ashamed even more, after thinking they stared to gather up the courage and will to fight, they started shouting towards the sky showing their will to fight and some also started promising the death spirits in the sky that they won't bring shame to them and that they will die fight rather live as a coward whole life.

Seeing that Edward and the family all became happy and Lucas and Robert started praising for his wonderful speech to their wife.
