The crowd cheered, and the people lifted Benedict II up into the already deserted Lion King Palace.
Well, it wasn't exactly deserted, as many of the original servants and maids of the Lion King Palace were still there, but they were scared out of their wits, locking themselves away behind closed doors, making it no different from being deserted.
Benedict II was held high by the people, laughing hysterically.
The scattered mercenaries around were also unusually excited.
Countless pairs of mud-soaked shoes had trampled the dark red carpet into gray.
The people stormed into the palace hall, placing Benedict II onto the empty throne. Someone brought him the crown.
The scene resembled a king being enthusiastically embraced by his people. Yes, it resembled, but it wasn't actually a king embraced by his people.
