Queen Ariadne's POV.
The king's courier announced that we should all meet in the Announcement Hall. I hasten up with my dressing. Quickly, I rushed to the hall to join the rest.
Everyone was confused as to why the Emperor called all of us here. Many thoughts he was angry, and sooner or later someone was going to be punished. I was also afraid because of what happened last night in the king's room. What if he was going to punish me in public? I was doomed already.
The back door of the hall opened and the king walked into the room with both of his hands at the back. He wore a green robe with a white turban on his head. I wondered why he always had that on!
He sat down on the throne with his left hand holding a scroll. The emperor gave it to Apollo to read out to the people.
"Your highness, do I have your permission to start?"
He didn't say anything rather, he waved his hand in the air, ushering him to start.
