Katernicus scoffed when he claimed he would honour the late Emperor's memory. He knew nothing of what the old man had wanted, and Katernicus had suspecions about Gallus and his shady intentions anyway.<br/>"My dear citizens of Cruxix, a sad time has befallen our people, in the despair-ridden passing of our late, great Emporer Decimus. A fine leader he was, and I doubt there could be another as great as he. However, I do emplore you to think about the future of your Empire, your future, and the future of our children. If you were to lend me your votes, I would not let you down! I would make sure the needs to everyone were filled, that every single citizen of Cruxix lived comfortably. Create more jobs! Allow our youngsters to acheive a higher education! and most of all... Listen to what you want. I am not one to degrade into war, and as of late, I know matters have been dismal with our neighbours, but I will lead us to the path of peace, not the road of war! Please, consider my offerings to you!" Katernicus finished. Taking a deep breath, and waited for the camera to move off her before she shot a smug look to Gallus. She had to win it, she refused to loose to him, someone of his shady background. She was the best of the best. She could not fail now, when she had come so far. The cheering and applaud of her people quietened after a moment or two.
