Chatter envelops a throne room decorated with marble and gold as crowds of elegantly dressed people chaotically gossip over each other
"I heard that he is just a child"
"they say he rarely even visits the outside of the palace"
"I wonder what he looks like, I never saw him"
"I heard that he is as pale and weak as a skeleton"
The crowd stands by the sides of the room, leaving only the path to an imposing throne in the middle open, then a man In a uniform decorated with golden army medals shouts in a commanding voice
"Silence!"
Everyone in the room falls silent as they wait in anticipation and excitement for the arrival of the rumored crown prince, then the large wooden doors across the throne swing open, and with cold air coming from the halls on the other side comes a frail but good-looking young man with black messy hair and light blue eyes with cold glare, his mere presence sparked nervosity in the crowd, as he slowly walks toward the throne he looks over the huge crowd and thinks
"I can do this, there is nobody more qualified than me so calm down"
Then with a deep breath, he carefully sits upon the throne hiding his nervosity behind false confidence. As he sinks into the seat an old frail man wearing a white robe with a flower crest on it holding a crown that stunts the crowd with its beauty
The whole crown is made from a single piece of transparent blueish crystal plated with black metal and simple ornaments in one hand and a decorated wooden cane with a similar crystal on its top in the other, the man limps in front of him, puts the cane on the ground and with both hands holds the crown over princes head, then he slowly and carefully puts the crown on his head and says as loud as his age allows him
"In the name of our goddess of strength and prosperity Savel, I priest Nevo Siaos declare crown prince Victor Aratus the new emperor of the Merun empire, now knell before the new emperor"
As he said that the crowd of prideful nobles and bureaucrats who came from all over the empire to watch the coronation fell to their knees at once without hesitation as a sign of respect and obedience to their new emperor
"Stand up"
Says Victor with a calm but commanding
voice. As the crowd stands up they all shout as in unison as they can
"Eternal glory to emperor Aratus. Eternal glory to Merun empire".
...Later after the ceremony ended and the coronation feast began exhausted Victor returned to his office as was his common habit then he heard a loud knocking on the door in front of him
"Come in"
Through the door comes a young man, although somewhat similar to Victor the man is noticeably younger with blond hair and a more muscular figure, he steps inside the office and with a smile says
"Hello brother, are you seriously spending the day of your coronation in this dark and gloomy office working, you need to enjoy yourself sometimes you know, want me to help you make acquaintances on the coronation feast later?"
"In your dreams Orvus, if you have nothing of importance then leave, i have more work than ever to do unlike you who spends all his time in goddess knows where"
Victor says angrily as he points to the door next to his brother
"And send my regards to elder Nores if you happen to see him, I know you spend a lot of time with him these days"
"Fine, fine, but that reminds me, the council of elders was looking for you to personally congratulate you on your coronation, so you should go see them rather than being stuck in your office the whole feast"
Orvus says before closing the office doors behind himself. Victor sighs as he closes the document he finished and stands up from his cushioned seat
"Yes, I should go see them" he mutters
