The man announcing the coronation continued to talk for a really long time. Two minutes in, Silas had lost interest. His mind took him to random instances in both of his lives. He replayed them over and over again. At the same time, he listened to the man while allowing minute amounts of information to be stored in his brain, mostly only the important bits though.

The boy next to him kept commentating over the man too, and even though Silas was listening at first, he quickly began to ignore him too.

He was doing nothing but screeching like a little girl and cheering every now and then. 

From the short time period that Silas had spent listening to him, he quickly realized that Alex was a really big fan of Life. He would have liked to not know why, but Silas was a grown man. He knew a crush when he saw one, and this was definitely a crush.

"If you keep staring at her like that, she might be creeped out." Silas commented, causing the boy next to him to step back with a hint of fear.

"R-Really! Wait... Is that really what people think? Oh no... What if she hates me? What if she finds me disgusting!? I can\'t let that happen! I can\'t let her think of me like that!" Alex spoke with a resolution.

"I don\'t like where this is going..." Silas sighed.

"I\'m going to find her and confront her about this. I will show her that despite being much younger than her, I can be great husband!" Alex shouted, causing many of the people around them to look at him with raised brows before letting out a small smile and chuckling at him.

\'Who the hell is teaching him these things?! Clearly he\'s an orphan!\'

To them, he seemed to like an innocent kid with a crush. 

However, to Silas, he seemed like a child who had gone mad with love.

\'What did I bring myself into?\' Silas rubbed the bridge of his nose as a feeling on annoyance traveled up his body and was about to give him a headache.

"Whatever you say, kid." Silas shrugged.

"I\'m not a kid! I\'m a- Oooh! The ceremonies are beginning!" Alex screamed before tapping on one the adults and asking them to lift him over their heads.

Of course, they would have probably said yes if this was on Earth... Earthling had way too much sympathy for their own good, but not only was this Gilea, but it was also Darkless city.

People weren\'t nearly as sympathetic toward kids compared to Earth or even the world outside the city.

Silas, on the other hand, had no real intention of watching the ceremony. He was just waiting for the coronation, since according to Archie, something was supposed to happen before he became commander.

\'I\'m assuming the people don\'t know who the commander will be yet.\' Silas thought after remembering some of Alex\'s words.

So, he simply waited.

And just like that, half an hour passed by and the people were still cheering over the ceremonies.

\'Holy shit when do they start the goddamn coronation!\' Silas wanted to shout, however, he quickly found himself sighing again after nothing happened.

Looking up, Silas looked at all the generals simply standing there, their eyes scanning through the crowds as if they were looking for something.

And for a moment, Life\'s eyes locked with Silas\' before a smile bloomed on her face.

"Hey! Hey! Did you see that! Did you see that! She smiled at me!" Alex shouted but Silas ignored him again.

Looking to the left, Silas saw Death also looking at him for a moment, making Silas raise a brow before looking around for a few moments.

\'Hey... Why the hell are they all looking at me!?\' Silas felt a shiver go down his spine. For some reason, he felt like that look meant a lot more than he could understand, but for now, they didn\'t matter.

They were all wearing different unique colors that made them stand out. Silas assumed that it was for people who couldn\'t see as far as him, but after looking around for a few more moments, he quickly realized that wasn\'t the case.

There were several large crystals around without a particular color in them. However, each one of them showed what was happening in real-time, allowing everyone to see the generals in all their glory.

\'How the hell can Alex see them then?\' Silas thought while looking at the boy beside him.

The ceremonies quickly stopped and the generals stepped forward, leaving them in full sight as a branch suddenly came out from in between the crowds and made a platform for them to stand on.

The 5 Generals quickly stepped on the branches before being moved further into the air.

"What\'s happening?" Silas asked Alex.

"Now you want me to talk?" Alex harrumphed.

"Alex... I\'ll give you an onyx core if you tell me." 

"You can\'t buy me or my tongue!" Alex blew a raspberry as Silas, yet instead of feeling annoyed again, Silas felt a tap on his shoulder.

"I\'ll tell you for an onyx core." A man with closed eyes and a greedy grin extended both his hands toward Silas in a begging manner.

"Ugh." Silas took out an onyx core and placed it in his hands.

"Now, I suggest you speak and not try running away like you were going to." Silas smiled while releasing a slither of killing intent the froze the man in place.

"W-Well... We\'re going to choose who the commander is going to be. The generals will vote first. Their vote counts as a third of the vote, and it has to be unanimous. Factions members aren\'t allowed to vote since not all factions have as many people as other factions. S-So, their vote goes to the richest people in the city. They also count as a third of the votes.

Lastly, the rest of the city gets to vote, and their vote counts as a third too." The man quickly explained without trying to cut any corners.

"What about the faction without a general?" Silas asked.

"Oh, then the faction gets to vote for the missing general. In this case, the judgement faction will have to vote for not only who gets to become the commander, but also gets to vote on who becomes their general." He explained.

"Good explenation. You can leave now." Silas waved him off, causing the man to scurry away.

Looking up again, Silas quickly found a black tablet made out of slate form before him and everyone around him.

There were three runes on it, each one of the runes having a different color being represented on them.

"Hmm..." Looking over to the right, Silas saw Alex tapping on the green rune instantly.

\'They used color to represent them since not everyone can read... And most people can\'t read so I guess they were right to do something like this.\' Silas shrugged before tapping on Archie\'s rune.

"Really? You\'re voting for that guy?" Alex asked with a surprised tone.

"Yeah, why?" Silas replied with a raised brow.

"I mean... He\'s really bland, isn\'t he?" A man next to Silas commented.

"I think it\'s because Game over here is bland too." Alex responded with a grin.

"Voting is a serious matter. It isn\'t a popularity contest. It\'s about voting for the person most likely to make this organization better, not for the person you like most-" Silas glanced at the man next to him.

"Or the woman you find attractive." Silas looked at Alex with a slight glare.

"Well, our votes don\'t usually matter much anyway. We\'re only a third of the votes." A woman behind Silas shrugged.

\'This voting system wasn\'t what Archie explained to me. Hell, it\'s closer to the systme Germany used before the first world war... But I guess that it makes sense? Gilea is way behind Earth when it comes to these kinds of things, maybe it\'s just the culture here?\' Silas shrugged.

Archie was probably relying on the rest of the voters to vote for him since the rich people would most likely want him in order to make the organization better, while the generals had already concluded that Archie was probably the best person for the job.

"The votes are in! The generals and higher society have already voted beforehand, the majority vote wins!" The announcer shouted before an enormous screen made out of water materialized behind the generals.

And in that moment, a crystal began shining upon the screen made out of the water, creating a projection that showed the results.

Everyone\'s eyes slowly widened as the results showed up. The votes weren\'t measured, but instead, they were put on a podium, having the person with the most votes at the top, while the person with the lead votes was at the bottom.

As the generals looked back, they all had a look of guilt on their faces.

Well, only 3 of them did.

Life, Death, and Eclipse. Well, Silas couldn\'t really see Eclipse behind his cloak, but that was the vibe he got from the aura around him.

However, the crowd has a different reaction.

Half of them had their eyes widened into saucers, while the rest simply cheered with all their might.

However, among the crowd there was one person whose eyes were filled with no emotion. Their face was completely black while their mouths simply opened and closed.

\'Oh no...\'
