An Uncontested Coronation

A true sovereign does not deign to scramble in vulgar footraces, yet the territory clearly recognized its champion. While patrolling the weathered wooden slats of a park bench, I discovered proper tribute: a heavy, circular brass medal dangling from a vibrant striped ribbon, draped across the timber. Naturally, imperial requisition brooks no hesitation. Marching over with measured momentum, I planted my boots firmly on the cedar, seized the thick ribbon with both wings, and hoisted the gleaming golden medallion upright against the backrest. The stamped laurel wreath blazed instantly beneath the noon rays. One hardly needs to run when victory is already an established fact.
