Everard and the others who were with him during the parade arrived at the Great Hall just in time. There was only five minutes left until the coronation ceremony began.
Thus, as soon as the carriages reached in front of the main door of the Great Hall, a squad of soldiers who were just below the rank of the royal guards spread out around the area to protect Everard from any unnecessary attempts at interaction from the citizens.
When the perimeter was secured, the royal guards then marched inside the hall while creating a passage for the King to reach the altar.
Even though the hall was filled with thousands of people, not a single one of them were uttering a single word. Instead of the chattering sounds that were floating in the hall just a few minutes ago, the hall was now filled with soft music from several instruments.
Everard stood at the foot of the steps of the Great Hall and looked at the huge door.
