Selma Payne's POV:
Maintaining order was a futile effort. Although the president hid in the crowd and no longer spoke after dropping the bomb, the anger and fear of the people had been stirred to the greatest extent. Anything that stopped them would be seen as 'giving up'. "The high and mighty nobles are going to abandon us and run for their lives!"
I only felt profound fatigue in the face of chaos, and this was the first time I felt despair. It was not that I was afraid of Leviathan's ability to move mountains and fill the seas, but rather her deep and bottomless mind.
