The scene with Lei Yuanxu cast an unpleasant shadow over everyone. It made them realize for the first time that their sacred grand tutor could be offended. At once, the infatuated gazes dimmed and no one dared to break any rules.
The palace servants reminded the musicians who had stopped to resume playing their lovely melodies. However, the melodious sounds had no power to dispel the shadow that lingered in everyone's hearts.
The palace servants quickly washed all traces of blood from the ground, then scattered scented powder to mask the thick smell of blood. It was almost as if nothing had happened.
It was almost time. Accompanied by joyful music, a beautifully dressed woman carrying a child slowly emerged from the side of the grand hall. Beside her was the Emperor of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon, wearing his imperial crown!
Everyone stood in unison.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
