Alex, while barely on his feet, reached the cathedral.
The sky had started to darken, and the cold wind was making him shiver because of all the sweat.
He no longer has the extra weight on him, however, he was so tired that he couldn't walk properly without falling a few times.
"Thanks...here..." Paying the carriage driver who brought him here, he walked towards the church where hundreds of people were gathering.
There were two barriers before the church—one close to the main entrance and another farther away, just before the bridge that connected the town to the cathedral.
Alex could clearly see how the crowd was separated. Between the two barriers stood high-ranking nobles and visitors from other lands, dressed in fine clothes and speaking quietly among themselves. Meanwhile, beyond the outer barrier, the common folk gathered, kept at a distance as they tried to catch a glimpse of what was happening near the church.
