The scepter seemed unremarkable at first glance, but once held, it felt ice-cold and heavy.
It was likely forged from pure gold.
Of course, the material of the scepter was not important, what mattered was the significance it represented.
When the Tsar was crowned, the left hand held the Golden Egg and the right hand the scepter, symbolizing the power of the Church and the secular world.
Wang Ye and Rossiyana stood shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, with the other hand each holding the scepter and the Golden Egg, respectively.
Puding led the applause, and suddenly, a thunderous ovation filled the church hall.
This was everyone offering their blessings to the couple.
Khodorkovsky, watching Wang Ye on the stage, experienced a mix of emotions: pride, joy, and an indescribable feeling...
Perhaps, if Wang Ye had grown a bit slower, that might have been better!
But Puding's thoughts were entirely different.
