Finally, Queen Wu waves them back to their seats and stands forward in the box to address the crowd. "Citizens: I think it unwise to continue in the face of this evil omen. Do not panic, but I believe these birds may be a message from an unknown enemy."
At her words, a murmur runs through the crowd. The Queen holds out her hands to still the crowd. "Be calm. The tournament will end here for now. Awards will be given privately. Please, return to your homes." There are cries of protest at her words, and down below, you can see Fizza is about ready to revolt—it's clear she's livid even with her face obscured by her helmet. "Enough!" the Queen continues. "The tournament ends here, and that is my final decision. For your safety, please disperse now." Then, the Queen simply turns around and exits the royal box, with her family and the Contessa following behind her.
Everyone looks stunned. Then the murmur grows again, and tournament guards start urging the crowd to disperse. But without the Queen there to hear the crowd's protests, there's nothing to do but fight through the birds and pack up for the day.
