Ten tables were arranged facing one another, five on each row. Men and Women Masters of each kingdom seated right next to each other in pair. Each table is decorated by unique symbols and dedicated colors mirroring the luxurious garment of the masters. Behind them are the most pureblooded descendants who will participate in the Coming Of Age Ceremony, covered by thin silk with their respective Kingdom colors.
However, one thing you cannot miss from looking at them is how their eyes strongly oddly resemble the color of their garments.
The First Kingdom and the Imperial Family, Yu Se (玉色), the color of jade, the representative of decency, virtue, and honor, the first and most powerful among the nine kingdoms. The strongest Imperial Lineage that survived the flow of ages. Yu Se Kingdom bred the most virtuous men and women of all centuries. It maintained its power at the top due to peerless geniuses produced by their bloodline.
The Second Kingdom, Qing Se (青色), representing Wood in the Five Elements. It is also the color of Cyan Dragon, a mythical animal guarding in the Eastern section of the sky, as the representative of hope and spring, the second in line for the main kingdoms. Known for their wide business in architectural buildings and fortress that guarded the Imperial Land for ages.
Third Kingdom, Ming Huang (明黄), third in line. It represents Earth in the Five Elements. It is also the color of Dragon Ying Long, who guards in the middle section of the sky. The family uses bright yellow garments which also represents immense wealth that is not far less than the First Kingdom. The family is in charge of the Imperial Land`s production of harvest.
Fourth Kingdom, Zhusha Hong (朱砂红), As one of the Five Primary Colors, it represents Fire in the Five Elements. It is also the color of Zhu Que, a mythical red bird that is guarding in the south section of the sky, who could guide souls of the deceased to heaven. Their Kingdom is responsible for breeding war troops and tools defending the Imperial Land.
Fifth Kingdom, Shi Yang Jin (十样锦), the same color as the Gladiolus Fabric, exquisite and beautiful embroidery. The color used in writing love poems in exquisite paper among noblewomen. This color then is the representative of innocent love. Thus, their family made enormous contribution not only in embroidery but also in other branches of music and arts.
The other four kingdoms are considered to be the minor kingdoms due to the size of territory and influence they cover.
Sixth Kingdom, Dan Se (丹色), uses the color of splendid sunrise in the morning, or red ore. It may belong to the lower group of the nine kingdoms but Dan Se Kingdom was widely known for producing intellectual individuals. They are yet to be considered as a main kingdom. Their descendants are all respected in the field of education. They bred the best teachers in the Imperial Land, revered by many because of their exceptional skill in impartation of knowledge.
Seventh Kingdom, Hu Po (琥珀), named after the amber, it also had been widely used to refer to wine. Their bloodlines possessed exceptional skills in brewing wine. It is said that Hu Po Kingdom possessed ancient secret manuals on wine-making passed from one generation to another.
Eight Kingdom, Li Se (黎色), uses the color of the sky before dawn, mysterious black mixes with warm yellow. It is rumored that Li Se Kingdom was long called to be promoted with the other kingdoms. The Kingdom is known to be a training ground for skilled spies being sent to other lands in other to gather intelligence, war tactics and other useful information that can greatly contribute to the Imperial Land`s development.
Ninth Kingdom, Jiang Zi (绛紫), the purple color was used to describe the magical aura of deities, or royal palace and goods. Therefore, Jiang Zi is the color of honor, elegance, and beauty. The kingdom bred the Imperial Land`s revered ghost doctors. Albeit known for their peerless talent for medicine and research, the kingdom was said to remain as one of the minor kingdoms because they are also known to produce poison masters which is very contradicting to the Kingdoms profession. Thus, common people was way too cautious in engaging with the said kingdom.
