Murmurs immediately broke out.
"What does he mean by the passage won't be able to accommodate us?" Someone asked.
"What do you mean by that Lord Tiberin?" Someone asked Tiberin, his voice loud so everyone will hear his question.
"What I mean to say is," Tiberin replied calmly, "Not everyone will be able to enter the passage leading to the vault. It cannot truly accommodate the number of people here."
"What?"
"That's absurd."
"We came all this way."
"I wish to witness it myself."
"We have the right."
The complaints grew louder and louder. People were outraged that they won't be given permission to witness one of the most important rituals in virelia. And they tried to push forward regardless, but the king's guards tried to stop them.
