Inside the palace, a symbol of the empire's history, white light shines through the unidentified stone bricks of the roof, illuminating the vast palace in pristine white.
Rumble
After the deafening roar of the massive black and white stone door inside the main hall...
The two stone doors slowly moved closer to the stone walls on both sides until they formed a gap about 10 meters wide, at which point the stone doors gradually came to a stop.
The deafening sound disappeared as the stone gate stopped.
Da da da
...
A series of rhythmic footsteps sounded.
At this moment, Marshal Maurice, dressed in a light black outfit, stepped through the passage between the two stone doors into the great hall, a place that few people in the entire empire could enter.
A pure white light shone on him, and despite his black attire, he was rendered completely white by the light.
In his hand, the antique black ring, symbolizing the future of the emperor, was being rubbed incessantly against his palm.
Strangely, although Marshal Maurice's palms were sweaty from clenching them for so long, the black ring seemed to possess some kind of magic, keeping all the liquid from his palms away, as if it were encased in an invisible barrier.
"Your Majesty, this ring contains all the strange creatures collected from within the entire empire. Excluding a few that cannot be contained, 99% of the strange creatures within the empire are already in this ring."
Meanwhile, seated atop the golden throne in the main hall, the imperial emperor, clad in a golden battle armor, gazed at the black ring that Marshal Morris had offered.
"You did a great job."
The emperor's simple and unadorned voice came from the dark gold mask that covered his entire face.
No matter how bright the white light from the palace roof shone, it could not obscure the dazzling golden light emanating from the emperor's battle robes.
Even Marshal Maurice lowered his head slightly to avoid going blind from looking directly at the golden light.
Upon hearing the emperor's voice, Marshal Maurice, who had lowered his head, held the black ring in his palm and walked straight toward the emperor.
Upon seeing Marshal Maurice approaching him, the emperor slowly rose from his golden throne.
As he moved, the joints of his golden battle armor made a clicking sound due to friction.
The sound wasn't loud, but it echoed continuously within the silent palace.
Before long, Marshal Maurice, holding a black ring in his palm, arrived before the emperor, who was already standing in front of the golden throne.
Even though he had lowered his head to avoid looking directly at the golden light emanating from the battle suit, the distance was so close that even with his eyes closed, he still felt a stinging pain in his eyeballs.
However, being a marshal, this pain could not shake him in the slightest. He still lowered his head slightly and stood straight in front of the emperor.
The emperor also extended his arm, adorned with a dark gold wrist guard, and took the black ring from Marshal Morris's outstretched palm.
Just as the emperor's fingers, encased in his battle armor, touched Marshal Maurice's palm.
He felt a chill emanating from the emperor's fingers, which instantly spread throughout his body.
Before Marshal Maurice could react, the chill vanished instantly.
When he finally came to his senses, he saw out of the corner of his eye that the emperor had disappeared from his sight.
There wasn't even a figure of an emperor dressed in golden armor inside the entire hall.
