Inside the room, the old king's voice echoed.
"Open the… door!"
He too wanted to see how this man, whom he had always identified as a natural-born leader, would answer such a sharp question posed by the journalists.
A nurse walked over and opened the door so the old king could hear the voice coming from the television.
At this very moment, all eyes were on Lucas Walker.
Not only Ivana Bennett, the Archduchess, their two children, and the old king, but also the journalists at the press conference.
The live broadcast carried the trust across the nation—to every television, computer screen, the countless display TVs in shop windows, and the giant LED screens on buildings…
Countless screens were broadcasting this moment.
Countless pairs of eyes were watching this man.
Countless ears were waiting for Lucas Walker's response.
...
At the podium, Lucas Walker took a deep breath, his voice as calm as it was before.
