At the Podium~
"We greet the sun of our empire,"
"His Majesty, the Emperor."
The seven of them spoke in unison as they bowed before the emperor and the crowd once again cheered up for them.
[A/N: Only Liana is absent, and they became seven with Brayden joining them again.]
The emperor had a pleased smile plastered on his face as the four dukes were standing by his side.
Duke of Dalton and Hertz were standing on the emperor's right, whereas Duke Ricardo was standing on the left side with a visible displeased look on his face for standing with Duke Raven.
The marquises were behind the duke's as they maintained the status serial.
"You all may raise,"
"The empire is proud of you guys!"
All of them smiled as they heard the emperor's words, and the crowd went into uproar with their cheering.
