Winner Takes All novel Chapter 1036

The news of the erection of a new statue at the City square raged for three days and spread across the thirteen cities of the Kingdom. There were even Huns who blasphemed and doubted the King’s decision to erect this monument.

As the uproar started to elevate within the thirteen cities, even some of the royal advisors began to speak up against the King on his decision. It was only through the determination of King Hun that continued to heavily suppress any opposition to his decision.

It was the fourth day and the night was dark. The blizzard that night was particularly intense. However, it did not affect the Hun citizens who gathered in the capital city.

After three days of white-hot public speculations, it was time for King Hun to reveal the truth. In these three days, some even tried to use their influence to find out the identity of the eighth hero. However, under the strong oppression of the King, he managed to suppress all the demands and protect the identity.

All the workers of the statue and the guards had been sworn to secrecy personally by the King with the threat of their lives should they leak out the identity of the eighth national hero. That was why in these three days, no information leaked out about the identity of the new statue.

The capital city was brightly lit even in the dark of the night. After three days of public debate, now the citizens gathered in the capital city and there was a festive mood in the air.

The southern gates to the city opened and Joseph, Charley and the rest entered the city along with the Huns. They were initially worried about how they should enter the city but now King Hun greatly relaxed the security to facilitate the celebrations. Very soon, all of them entered the city without any hindrance.

The crowd dispersed after entering the city and it was no longer that crowded.

Charley stretched himself and then joked, “I thought that we would be questioned and searched but we simply entered with the citizens.”

“The news had festered and caused too much of an uproar. Now the citizens are all restless for the truth.”

Joseph was solemn and calmly said, “This is of great importance to the Huns. The King is trying to establish a character of reverence in the hearts of the Huns. However, the secretive manner in which he is doing this has caused much restlessness amongst the citizens.”

After rubbing his hands, he joked again, “After all, we can’t have them worship our ancestors, right?” Charley and the rest exchanged looks and grinned.

After looking around, Joseph calmly said, “Let’s look for a place to wait for the rest to gather. Then we’ll assign the tasks accordingly.”

The few of them quickly looked for a spot near the south gate and waited patiently for the rest to arrive. Very soon, there was a familiar face that appeared amid the crowd.

At the same moment inside Cynthia’s bedroom in the palace.

There was a lingering fragrance and anticipation in the atmosphere.

Jack was standing in front of a huge mirror and was in good spirits although he still looked slightly pale. Cynthia was beside him with another servant who dressed Jack up while Amanda looked happily and remarked, “You’re so handsome, Sir!”
