"People of Lyra! I have heard your voices, received your prayers," his tone was solemn and majestic, as if the True God had descended. "I, Oliver Delli, promise you that I will change everything. I will personally kill Lyra and bring a brand-new future before your eyes!"
As soon as he spoke, the cries of "kill Lyra" from the crowd immediately turned into shouts of allegiance to Oliver.
They chanted Oliver's name, even louder than when they had formerly chanted the name of Lyra.
"Now, only one step remains." Oliver looked at Gerard again and smiled as he extended his hand, "Knight of the Night Star, Gerard. After all we've been through, are you willing to pledge loyalty to me once again and fight for the future of Lyra?"
In that moment, hundreds of burning gazes landed on Gerard.
And outside the hall, even more people were paying attention to this event.
