"The Queen, The Highness, The Monarch, The First woman of Sovereign Baekmin, The inculcator of righteousness, Crown Head Min Yun Ki's dutiful better half- we present before you the revered sword of Baekja Kim, The most notorious, cold-blooded, brave martyr from Gyonju. Wield the metal, pierce the point into the barren and unharvested Paddy Lands of the Marshes and bless upon us a year of full stomachs and big hearts. May you change the air around the Gods of Rain, who haven't been so kind over The People of Baekmin. Oh Lords above, please accept the resolute thrust of our Queen, who's grown out of these Marshes and is standing before us as Royalty. May the air change, May the air change!" The head of Gyonju proclaims amidst the loud banging of the traditional Buk.

They stand around her with their fists full of seeds for dispersion.
