Julius took a deep breath. This was it.
He grasped the the fastenings of his cloak. While it didn't really match his new outfit and to be honest was getting rather tattered, he had elected to wear it on the way to the castle to make sure that the crown blade and its sheath could be kept concealed beneath it. Besides, by wearing it he could then do this-
"Emperor Yurgen! If you can hear me, I, Julius, have come here to challenge you for right to the throne! Your vile misdeeds have split the empire in two, and sullied the name of Troy with the corruption that you have allowed to fester within it. One such as you is unworthy of holding the title Emperor to his name!"He drew the crown blade and held it aloft for those in the area to see, raising it high above his head.
"That is why I have come, bearing the Crown Blade as proof of my words, and carrying the blessings of my ancestor Troy Lionheart. By right of imperial law the throne I hereby lay claim to the imperial throne in the name of Troy!" "Those who stand in the way of justice, stand aside lest you be cut down. We have come to save this nation and end the chaos, and cannot afford to be stopped by any obstacle."Reaching into his pack, Julius grabbed the broken helmet he had retrieved a while back. Since then he had been buffering it down and clipping its shape in preparation for this day. Quickly he raised it up and slid it down over his head.
"Dragon dammit I should have put this on before giving the speech. Would have looked so much cooler." he muttered under his breath.
