The weight of the revelation lingered in the room, and an unspoken sorrow enveloped the chamber.
The maid, grappling with the difficulty of breaking such news, stood there, her eyes reflecting both the solemnity of the moment and the fear of how Vivianne would receive the news of the emperor's demise.
As Vivianne entered the chambers, Angelina in tow, the room was already filled with grieving family members. All present, except for the conspicuous absence of Jaegar, gathered solemnly around the bed where the emperor's lifeless form lay. The atmosphere was heavy with sorrow, and the air was pregnant with the weight of loss.
