"Alright, congratulations, the Crown Princess has made the choice of the next ruler of the Empire," the Emperor announced and the crowd let out a round of applause.
The Princess snapped her eyes open at that moment as she looked around the room in confusion.
What was going on? And what just happened? What did her father just say?
The Princess was confused.
"Master Filen has been chosen as the spouse of the Princess and the potential next King as well," it was declared and the Princess heard it loud and clear.
The Princess felt her body still in shock, her body felt numb and she couldn't comprehend her surroundings for a while.
The crowd let out another roar of cheers and applause and a wide smile spread onto Master Filen's face at the news.
"B-But-"
"Congratulations, my darling," the Empress stood up and moved forward to hug her daughter.
