In the deepest part of Fiji Forbidden City's Dragon Emperor's chamber, darkness enveloped the room.
The weak bedside lamp cast shadows on the wall, as if they were about to be engulfed by the darkness at any moment.
A girl with black hair and red eyes knelt beside the Dragon Bed, gently holding the old man's hand.
Even though the air was filled with a rotten, scorched, and unpleasant smell, the princess, who normally only ate delicacies and wore nothing but finery, showed no reaction, only a trace of sadness in her eyes as she looked at the elderly emperor.
"Hehe…" Watching the princess, the old Dragon Emperor let out a hoarse laugh, lifting his hand slightly to weakly stroke the top of the princess's head.
"Father, just say what you want to say," the princess accepted his gesture without moving and spoke softly.
She was ready.
