"His Majesty the Emperor is entering the hall!"
At once, everyone turned to look at Ragan.
He wore a golden robe with a dragon emblem on the back.
His short white hair was neatly combed, crowned with a seven-crystal diadem.
With each step, a subtle aura radiated from him, making everyone instinctively lower their heads.
Quickly, all except the visiting leaders from other regions bowed in respect.
"Welcome, Your Majesty," they greeted him.
King Maldrin, Prime Minister Mikazura, and other distinguished guests followed suit.
Ragan smiled, meeting their gazes one by one.
"Thank you for attending the celebration I've prepared. I hope you enjoy it," he said calmly.
"Of course, Your Majesty. We are truly honored," the King of Serothia replied with a small laugh.
The others quickly followed with warm words of greeting for Ragan.
"Excellent. Since this is a celebration of the empire's anniversary, I won't bore you with a long speech. Just enjoy the party," Ragan added.
