The ruler continued, "Madams, sirs, illustrious captains of the army, and our most Christian friends, I bid you all welcome to my table this evening." He cleared his throat, then continued loudly, "We are here today to enjoy a delicious meal and drink. Before beginning to eat, I want to bring to everyone's attention that the hour of battle is approaching. I want to make it clear to everyone, we, the people of Constantinople, must stand together with firm resolution. Remember that we have always fought with glory against the enemies of Christ. Now the defence of your fatherland will begin, the evil Ottomans are preparing for a siege of our city, once again."
The Proud Stand by the last emperor is exciting, as it is the tale of the last confrontation between the Byzantine and the Ottoman Empires.
