In the time when night has temporarily retreated and dawn has yet to arrive, the civil and military officials of the court are already lined up outside the Meridian Gate awaiting.
The sound of bells and drums fills the air, shaking the palace.
With the drumbeats, the three dukes and nine ministers orderly divide left and right, entering the hall while performing their greetings.
After the solemn atmosphere had passed a while, the dignified sound of ceremonial music echoed, followed by a loud proclamation: "His Majesty ascends the throne!"
Thus all officials knelt, exclaiming, "Long live our emperor, long live, long live—"
But at this moment, a crisp childish voice rang out inappropriately:
"Has Father arrived!"
The ceremony symbolizing the start of a day's operation for the Dragon Descendant Empire was interrupted before the opening was completed.
The officials froze collectively, raising their heads in unison, casting their gazes towards the source of the voice.
