"EVERYONE, don't panic," Hanna said in a loud and firm voice while standing in front of the Imperial Palace's open gate. "All of you will be accommodated in the palace."
She was addressing the huge and chaotic crowd in front of her.
There were three lines facing her, and each line had a long queue of people in a hurry to enter the palace for safety. But those people were yelling at each other and pushing forward. As an unfortunate result, the lines were starting to get messy.
The Imperial Knights guiding the citizens had already snapped and were now yelling at the people to keep them in line.
Hence, Hanna was also forced to raise her voice.
"Please don't push or else a stampede might occur!" Hanna yelled, feeling awkward since she didn't like yelling. She was already using a voice-amplifying device. But that didn't seem to work, so she raised her voice as well. "Let the elders, the women, and the children enter first!"
