December 31st symbolizes the end of the year.
At this time, the entire empire would be decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, filled with a joyful atmosphere.
However, this year, as the New Year approaches, the Empire seems somewhat unusual.
Inside a room in the Golden Palace in the heart of the capital.
Bright lights shone, and countless servants formed a circle, each holding an exquisitely decorated tray.
Surrounded by servants was a gorgeously dressed young girl with long, silver hair.
She was sitting quietly in front of the dressing table, gazing at herself in the mirror.
The servants on both sides were busy, constantly taking out various cosmetics from the trays to carefully create an exquisite makeup look for the young girl.
"Your Highness, are you satisfied?"
After a flurry of activity, the servants stood respectfully beside the girl and asked her questions cautiously.
Their movements were extremely meticulous, ensuring rigor and precision in the beginning and end of every stroke of their makeup.
Aurelion looked at herself in the mirror, her face expressionless as she examined her newly completed makeup.
At this moment, her face and features appeared absolutely perfect, and even a casual blink revealed an incredibly captivating charm.
Her noble temperament was evident in every breath, and the hairpins adorning her long silver hair seemed to add a dazzling radiance to her perfect face.
But when the servants asked cautiously, Aurelion simply nodded without saying a word.
But the servants nearby breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed respectfully and withdrew, leaving Aurelion alone in front of the mirror.
As the voices of the servants faded into the distance, Aurelion lowered her head and hid her face.
She placed her hands tightly on her knees, clenching them into fists, her nails almost digging into her palms.
His body trembled slightly, as if he was forcibly suppressing some kind of emotion.
There is still no news about the teacher.
Another week has passed, and the public's attention to Viktor's disappearance has not diminished at all.
There were even frequent rumors that Victor had been spotted somewhere, and that he was trying to swindle the Clavner family out of their bounty.
Even without Victor, the Clevner family is still not someone to be trifled with.
Without exception, those who tried to cheat for the bounty.
In the end, just as they believed Viktor had, they all disappeared into places where they shouldn't have been.
The entire empire turned a blind eye to the Clevina family's actions.
After all, everyone wants to find Victor.
For the empire's high command, Viktor is now seen as an indispensable guardian deity of the empire.
That fierce battle in the capital made everyone deeply aware of the importance of high-level combat power.
Now, with the old Emperor Aubrey about to abdicate, the entire empire is in even greater need of a strongman like Victor to protect it.
For Aurelion, Viktor's significance...
But her thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a few soft knocks on the door behind her.
"The time has come, Your Highness."
Hearing the servant's reminder, Aurelion slowly loosened her clenched fist and raised her head again.
"We should get going."
...
Aurelion was dressed in a dignified and luxurious silver gown and wore sparkling silver crystal shoes.
She walked gracefully on the red carpet, placing her hands lightly on her lower abdomen, with a gentle and serene expression.
Surrounded by a group of knights and servants, they proceeded dignifiedly out of the palace.
The crisp sound of footsteps echoed through the corridor as Aurelion finally stepped out of the palace gates.
The moment she stepped out of the palace gates, she was greeted by a dazzling display of lights.
Her eyes reflected a sea of colorful light, and the entire capital was enveloped in celebratory lights.
A dazzling array of lights and decorations rose from the ground, filling the sky and the earth.
The colorful lanterns and decorations on the streets twinkled and shimmered in the night, like countless stars.
Crowds cheered and celebrated in the streets and central square to welcome the New Year.
Their cheers rose in waves, enveloping the entire capital.
This city, on its path to rebirth, seems to have fully awakened, brimming with life and vitality.
Aurelion's silver figure shone brightly in the light, and even the palace gates behind her were illuminated by the golden light, making them dazzling.
She stood there, gazing ahead.
Not far from the central square, there are rows of towering steps.
A long red carpet meandered down the steps, seemingly stretching into the night sky.
Aurelion looked down the red carpet toward the high platform not far away, and her vision blurred for a moment.
She could see an old man sitting at the top of the platform.
Aubrey Saul VIII.
That was her biological father.
His body looked slightly tired, and he was supporting his face with one hand, but his eyes still revealed undiminished majesty.
It's like a lion that's getting old, but is still majestic.
Almost simultaneously, all of Aurelion's followers knelt down in unison, paying homage to the towering, cloud-piercing steps.
It was as if they were waiting for Aurelion to step onto those towering steps.
So Aurelion took a step and stepped onto the first of the hundred steps.
The moment her feet touched the steps, she felt a mysterious power surge through her entire body.
This made her body exceptionally light, as if she were being lifted up gently.
Feeling the power coursing through her limbs, Aurelion continued upwards.
