The imperial guard escorted Sam towards the stage, Sam still stood below, while the imperial guard who has the spatial ring and the documents in his hands he said the gist of it in a low voice, and the emperor took a deep look at Sam before he turned to look at the Minister in charge of the preparations.
The minister felt something is wrong and he had a bad feeling, he walked towards the emperor and asked.
"What happened? Your Grace." His voice was low and subservient.
The emperor still didn't speak and looked at the imperial guard who passed all the documents including the battle reports and the golden scroll.
He immediately understood that he fucked up because the writing on the scroll was his. He was the one responsible for sending invitations to the war heroes and it is tradition and a show of respect to sending the invitations with the minister's own hands.
