(MC POV)
I didn't even get the chance to find out what mother thought happened to me when the steward came to fetch us. He told us that I was supposed to go to the palace alone while the rest would follow the others into the throne room when the ceremony starts.
My disciples did not ask any questions so I assumed that was how it should be and went with the steward alone, my mother tearfully giving me another hug before letting me go.
He brought me to a carriage that was reserved for the Royal Family, bidding me to enter it with a low bow.
As expected, these robes really make it hard to move freely. Luckily for me, I had someone who could help me with that.
I had Xun Guan spread herself underneath the robes and had her control the robes to move as I do, even lifting the hem of the robes slightly to prevent it from dragging along on the ground. Really thankful for her at times like these.
