Compared to the other three major empires' dismal states, the Meng Lei Empire imperial palace formed a completely different sight.
"Y-Your Majesty!"
Fatty Hart, Hudders, and the others gazed at Meng Lei with expressions of reverence, their countenances somewhat reserved and uncomfortable.
"What's with the 'Your Majesty' this and 'Your Majesty' that? There isn't any 'Your Majesty' here but just your friend and the person Meng Lei!"
Meng Lei had already discovered Fatty Hart, Hudders, Joseph, Jonah, Andrew, and the others hidden among the crowd during the ascension ceremony earlier.
He then summoned them into the imperial palace after the ceremony had ended. It had been more than two years since he'd last met them. To be honest, he really missed them somewhat.
"Your Majesty, you're the monarch while we're commoners. We mustn't neglect proper propriety!"
They felt rather overwhelmed by the honor and spoke rather reservedly.
