"All rise for the Emperor,"

The flutter of hanboks indicated the movement of royal advisors and workers who had gathered in the courtyard, not a single one daring to even look at their ruler. Yet, their minds were anxiously curious, as to why the Emperor had gathered them together.

Footsteps echoed across the wooden panels of the palace, the royal robes of Min Yoongi coming into view.
