Malik's lips trembled as he looked above, there was a person that had the same back as the man that he used to look up to in honor and pride. The latter's bare feet were visible and the clothes that he wore were something that even lesser than a commoner, however, the bearing that was exuding under that shredded cloth was something that of a ruler.
Warm liquid started to flow from his cheeks as Malik knelt under Reich's confused eyes.
"Opened your eyes wide and bend your knee Reich, you are under of the one and only, His Majesty, Yoji!"
The words were heard by the people who were still flabbergasted by the three princes' fall whilst Reich's eyes opened wide in disbelief.
(Who?! Emperor Yoji, you say?! But... that man...) thought Reich as he noticed that the man was young enough to be his own younger brother. He never saw how Yoji in his prime looked like. However, he noticed the older citizen bend their knees despite using a cane to stand up.
