It was not a projection of him, but the Dragon Emperor himself.
He did not try to hide his form. As such, he was large enough to cover the whole kingdom with his wings alone.
He stood upright, using his wings to keep himself hovering in the sky. With his size, even those at the very edges of the kingdom could see him.
"My people…you may not recognize me as it has been many years since I have shown my face to the public."
He started with quite a downplaying statement. Everyone knew what the draconic appearance of the Emperor was even if they hadn't seen it in person.
Even if they hadn't, his face had been broadcasted across the kingdom just some weeks ago, so how could they forget?
Some people were still trying to find the crown he told them to chase, but his appearance now made it clear that it had already been claimed.
