A silent darkness where the sun that had illuminated the whole world hid itself under the veil of night.
A splendid carriage entered the main gate of the Imperial Palace. Late at night, the Imperial Guardsmen, who were watching while being chased by sleepiness, quickly corrected their disturbed posture and saluted when they saw the spectacular carriage entering the main gate and the crown princes charioteer sitting in the drivers seat.
"Yo-, Your Highness, Crown Prince is here!"
"Shh. Your Highness is resting, so please lower your voice."
"So-, sorry!"
"Is Your Majesty in the Imperial Palace now?"
Of course. A few hours ago, we received a message that His Highness the Crown Prince is visiting, and His Majesty and the Empress have been waiting for His Highness.
"I see. Tell Your Majesty the news of the arrival of Your Highness in the Royal Palace right now."
"Yes, I got it!"
The chaplain who had been chasing the guards running toward the imperial palace for a while as if their tails were on fire, soon came down from the coachs seat and approached the carriage. Then he lightly knocked on the tightly closed door of the carriage and spoke to Crown Prince Owen inside.
"Your Highness, we have arrived at the Imperial Palace."
"Open the door."
In response to Owen's reply, the valet opened the carriages door. Then Owen, who came straight down from the carriage, looked back at the valet, who bent towards him and spoke.
"You mean not only my father but also the Empress is waiting for me?"
"Yes. That's right, my lord."
"It's good that I don't have to visit each of them separately."
Owen, who confirmed from his valet that the Emperor and the Empress were together, walked straight towards the Imperial Palaces Main Palace.
The valet quickly followed after him, and his servants and maids who assisted the Crown Prince also followed the movement of the prince.
When Owen entered the main palace, Count Roche, the closest aide to the Emperor, bowed to greet him. Owen said, looking down indifferently at his shiny face, dressed in a splendid uniform and with a stylish moustache.
"Guide me."
"Yes, Your Highness. Follow me."
At Owen's command, Count Roche guided him, bending as if he had waited.
Owen walked, ignoring the imperial servants and maids who bowed down and greeted him when he and Count Roche passed by.
Soon after, Count Roche guided him to the Room of the Sun, one of the Emperors official residences.
He inadvertently watched Count Roche open the door after knocking on the Room of the Sun ornate with gold and silver, and entered as soon as the door opened.
"Oh, Prince!"
Soon, Empress Maria, who was sitting next to the emperor who was sitting on the highest throne in the Sun Room, quickly got up and approached her son who was walking.
Owen greeted her affectionately while holding the delicate hand of Empress Maria, a beautiful middle-aged woman with green eyes and blonde hair that looked just like him.
