The Emperor arrived shortly after, accompanied by Empress Selena and Queen Leon.
Zaphyr's presence drew every gaze the moment he stepped down from his carriage. He wore a white suit trimmed in gold, a scarlet cape lined with white fur draped over his shoulders neatly.
Empress Selena followed beside him, her gown a deep crimson that matched the Emperor's cape. Her expression was composed yet distant, and a loose white coat wrapped around her thin figure.
Queen Leon, on the other hand, carried himself with quiet grace, his sapphire cloak trailing softly over the snow. He didn't bother exchanging glances with the nobles like the other two.
Zayden immediately placed a hand on Eiran's shoulder, urging him to bow. Ren followed his movements graceful but cautious, keeping his eyes fixed on the ground.
