( StrongHaven City, the biggest public square )
The atmosphere in StrongHaven City was tense.
Reports about the attack on Thumba City had already reached the desks of all major Merchant Groups and were slowly making their rounds within the less connected merchants and from them to the commoners.
With the Emperor holding an emergency announcement himself, many merchants assumed that this would be about this horrific attack and hence a large crowd had gathered near the public square.
What Emperor Julien D Evanus told the masses today was going to be crucial, as the confidence in the administration and the economy depended on it.
Dressed immaculately, Julien looked as majestic as ever…. Perhaps a little more majestic than usual, as he tried to project an image of power and calm to all those who watched him.
