Chapter 697 - Going Live!

Chapter 697 - Going Live!

The Gustavs walked in and were immediately taken aback by the many crewmen, cameras, studio lights and other equipment that had been set around the place.
What was all this?
This was their first time being on set so they were utterly confused if they had come to the right place or not.
They paused for a bit before finally spotting his majesty Landon up ahead.
And sure enough, they also saw that useless girl too.
She still looked at them anxiously with pleading eyes as if still begging them to reconsider.
But all this just made them lift their chins even more.
And seeing the curious gazes from the crew members, their egos were overly charged up now.
Hmph!
Today, they would be rotary, and no one would be able to stop them!
.
"Your majesty Landon Barn, King-Father Lucius, Queen Mother Kimberly, and Princess Lucy... we the noble Gustav family greets you all," Gustav said while bowing.
And of course, his family did the same too.
Landon just looked at them and smiled slyly.
"Welcome! Welcome!
Today, you are all important guests.
And just like I said earlier on, all of you will become well-known within the entire Pyno continent after the announcement.
Today's event will be recorded down for all to see, and you will also become legendary figures too."
"Thank you, your majesty!
Thank you!" Gustav said excitedly while trying to stop himself from jumping around merrily.
Landon and the rest just looked at them mysteriously.
"Alright!
There's no need to thank me.
Now, let's go over what you have to do before we begin the big announcement."
"Yes your majesty!"
(^_^)
.
And so just like that, the Gustavs were briefly told where to stand and what to do during live filming.
They had light powdery makeup put on them and underwent the full preparations before going on screen.
Time passed by swiftly, and before they knew it... it was almost 10 A.M"
The director looked at the set in satisfaction and quickly gave out his orders fiercely.
"Alright everyone!
We are live in 3... 2... 1!
Action!"
The cameras started rolling, and now, the entire Baymard was watching the show curiously.
People within the barbershops paused for a bit and looked at their screen, and within some Academy institutions, some teachers had decided to cancel their classes that fell within this time slot, so that everyone could watch the news.
All around Baymard, it was as if a public notice had been issued for work to only begin after the announcement was over.
Because even within some industries, the workers were told to wait in the cafeteria until the news was over.
It was as if people had gathered to watch a soccer or basketball match instead.
Diners, restaurants and other places with public T.Vs were super crowded now.
And everyone had a good reason why.
One should know that the last time the Royals had made such a big fuss, was when spies were publicly executed in front of everyone else.
In short, everytime the royals had to call everyone's attention, it always meant that something grand was about to happen.
Unlike the treaty signing with Carona or even Landon's Coronation event... the royals would always tell them several months ahead of time.
But at the last spy execution event, they had no clue about the matter and were also told that his majesty had a special announcement too.
Again, it didn't always mean that surprise announcements were a big thing, as years back there was a time that the royals had gathered everyone out of nowhere and introduced a new sort of language for them to learn.
And now bits and pieces of the language were even used at some breakfast dinners, food establishments and other places too.
The more they spoke the language, the more they understood it.
Anyway, with this surprise life announcement... they couldn't help but wonder if it would be filled with drama just like the execution one, or if it would just be an ordinary announcement.
They kept their eyes glued to the screen impatiently while already munching on their snacks.
Dammit!
The wait was really killing them
.
As soon as the cameras rolled, those watching within Baymard all fell into silence.
The normal intro song came on, and the famous BBC logo appeared on their screens too.
"Good morning, welcome to the BBC national news, with Brad Gardai and Charlone Cohen." Brad said, before allowing his co-host to continue.
"News on Project 21, where an update on the charitable treatment of several foreigners will be fully discussed alongside guests; Reverend Timothy and Minister Ferguson.
But first, let's view our top story today.
That's right, we are talking about the big announcement from the royals.
Most Baymardians speculate that it might be world-shaking, but others feel like the news might just be somewhat ordinary.
Well, we have our man Scott Wellington on the scene reporting to us live.
Scott!... how is everyone over there."
"Well Charlone, as you can see... we are currently within the throne room.
And his majesty Landon Barn, King-Father Lucius, Queen Mother Kimberly, and Princess Lucy are all before me, looking as dashing as breathtaking as ever.
Also, we have some surprise guests here as well."
"And do you have any clue about what the announcement is about?"
"Not a clue, Brad.
But I'll tell you what, the whole scene just gives me goosebumps from anxiety.
Oh, wait!
It's about to begin!"
With that, the station seamlessly switched to another camera on set that was completely focused on the royals.
Many people sighed from relief when they saw that the actual show was about to start.
All this time, they had almost shot their shoes at their TV screens urging the TV presenters to shut up and let his majesty speak.
And now that they saw the scene change to the royals, they couldn't help but sigh from relief.
Great!
The show could finally begin!
.
Landon began by briefly talking about his love for Baymard and his family.
He stated the moral bases on which Baymard was built, and also focused on the importance of unity too.
And soon, he looked at the Gustavs and smiled while gesturing towards them.
"Now, I'll welcome some very important guests for all to see.
They are the noble Gustav family from Arcadina.
They are the family of our gorgeous and generous Princess Lucy."
And just like that, the audience all stared at the scene in shock.
What?
Princess Lucy still had a family?
Wasn't she an orphan who worked as Landon's maid in the Capital?
The audience soon realized that they didn't know anything about their goddess.
And while they were in shock, the Gustavs on the other hand smiled victoriously.
Yes!
Everything was going as planned.
