Even if his guards managed to handle the situation with the people who were angry with him, King Gerold knew that all of that would only be able to delay a bigger impact, and when the time came, he would still have to leave the throne like what he told his people today.
Even his guards looked surprised when he said that he would descend from his throne as a way to punish himself, and his people seemed to be waiting for further explanation from him, but in the end, he didn't say anything and simply turned his body before walking toward the carriage.
