"At the age of nine, I was ignorant."
Such a voice echoed within the Bao Hua Palace.
The voice descended from the Scarlet Steps, containing a sense of overlooking all beings.
"This year, I am forty-two, and I am still ignorant."
Sitting with grandeur and solitude on the Dragon Throne was the current Emperor of Summer Country.
His voice lowered, carrying some suppression, yet also a certain majesty—
"All my sons have come of age!"
The splendid and majestic Bao Hua Palace was empty today.
Not a single court official was present.
His voice echoed with increasing loneliness and authority.
From the perspective of the Xia Emperor Si Cheng, looking forward, it swept over the Scarlet Steps, jade pillars, corridors, and at the end of the palace, under the tall palace gate, a noble figure stood in the light.
The light was so dazzling that this person's features could not be clearly seen.
Just as over the years, this person, this face, had become a symbol.
