A middle-aged man with golden hair walked into the hall, followed by numerous groups of people. He wore red clothing with a golden stripe, and atop his head rested a golden crown. This was Emperor Maximus of the Magus Kingdom.
The groups following behind were many, but a few among them stood out.
First was a lone man in his thirties who walked in casually. He also had golden hair, but unlike the Emperor's, it was neatly combed. He was Kane Maximus, the Sword Sage.
Behind him was a group of people exuding a fierce aura. They appeared arrogant, with sneers on their faces and casual attire, looking more like they had randomly decided to come rather than attend a banquet.
Leading them was a woman in her thirties with long, light blue hair tied in a ponytail. She wore dark red clothing and scanned the crowd as if searching for someone.
