Beneath the enormous golden palace, the air felt incredibly heavy.

Countless ministers bowed their heads, not daring to utter a sound.

The entire hall was so solemn it was almost frightening.

This atmosphere can be attributed to Aurelion's arrival.

This princess, who almost never appeared in the palace, came here in person for the first time.

The surrounding officials were all stunned when they saw Aurelion.

After all, this was the princess's first time attending court.

What does this mean?

None of the ministers present knew the answer, nor did any of them dare to find out.

It is common sense that princesses do not rule as regents.

Moreover, Aurelion's greatest fame comes from her reputation as a "vase princess."

Although public opinion about the princess has changed recently, after all, the empire's strongest fourth-tier mage, Victor, has become her teacher.

This made people realize that Aurelion might actually have some skill as a mage.

No matter how powerful she is, or how much her reputation changes, she is still a princess.

Aurelion ignored the ministers' questioning looks and sat quietly in the seat below the emperor.

With an innocent smile, he looked at the officials who looked extremely nervous.

Indeed, this elderly emperor even prepared a chair in the palace for his most beloved daughter.

This was a treatment that even the two princes had never received.

But after thinking it over, they felt that this was somewhat normal.

As the emperor, His Majesty certainly wouldn't stand behind any prince by name like these nobles.

This means that His Majesty has publicly announced the choice of the next monarch.

Princesses, on the other hand, could avoid such gossip, so the emperor could dote on his daughter without restraint in front of everyone.

After all, no matter how much you pamper someone.

There is only one ultimate fate for a princess.

Arranged marriage.

However, seeing the demeanor of Emperor Aubrey, many of his ministers were still somewhat intimidated.

They didn't know why the princess had come here today.

We can't just come here to watch the court assembly and relax, can we?

Or rather, is this court assembly itself related to her?

The heavy drumbeats at dawn symbolized the start of the morning assembly.

Emperor Auberly, seated on his throne, waved to the ministers who were bowing to him.

The officials slowly rose and began to report to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Prince Oweiser has arrived at the Pale Magic Guild in the North and met with General Vladimir."

"I expect that the truth about the Northern Demons will be uncovered within a few days."

Another group of officials stepped forward, equally unwilling to be outdone, and continued:

"Your Majesty, the demonic rift in the south has caused great chaos, but His Highness Albany recently returned to the south to suppress it."

"It won't be long before good news comes from the front."

Two groups of people at the court assembly, one after another, were reporting on the achievements of the two princes as if afraid of being outdone by anyone else.

Even though neither side has taken any substantial action, these officials have made it sound as if both princes have already successfully achieved their goals.

The entire morning court session turned into a competitive frenzy, with everyone arguing about whose achievements were greater.

Soon, the discussion shifted from comparing the princes' future achievements to officials looking down on each other and impeaching one another.

Aurelion looked at the chaotic scene with some surprise.

This was her first time attending court, and naturally, it was also the first time she had encountered such a situation.

This is somewhat different from what she had imagined.

Aubrey sat on the throne, smiling as he glanced down at Aurelion.

"You've been disappointed, haven't you, Aurelion?"

"However, this happens every morning, so I'm used to it."

The emperor was laughing heartily, and with each laugh, the heads of his ministers would unconsciously lower, and they dared not utter a word.

The laughter was as if they were watching a clown, mocking them.

However, everyone wanted to become the minister who helped the emperor rise to power.

With the emperor's days clearly numbered, they seemed more anxious than anyone else.

The emperor on the throne wasn't annoyed; he just squinted and chuckled, continuing:

"Now you know why your teachers almost never come?"

Aurelion nodded thoughtfully.

However, she is still a minor princess, and there are some things she certainly doesn't need to know.

Even if she understood, she couldn't comprehend it.

So, as if she were very naive, she asked her father.

"Why did my brother and the others do such a dangerous thing?"

Aubrey placed one hand on the armrest of the throne, tapping it incessantly with his fingers, and said with a smile.

"Of course, it's for the empire, for our country."

Aurelion nodded and continued innocently:

"The teacher said he wanted to take me to the south, to the monster rift there for training."

"I also want to fight demons like my eldest brother."

Before Aubrey could react to the princess's words, the officials on the Crown Prince's side erupted in a frenzy, becoming extremely anxious.

They bowed and hurriedly spoke to the emperor:

"Absolutely not, Your Majesty!"

The courtiers walked to the center of the hall, looked up at Aubrey, and, in trembling voices, explained the advantages and disadvantages to the emperor.

"The princess is of noble birth; she must not be put in any danger!"

"The southern region, where monsters gather, is well guarded by the First Prince leading his army!"
