Chapter 31 - Coming Of Age Ceremony (I) (2/2)

” Everyone presents, raise your heads.”

Right now, a commanding voice, that was filled with nobility, rang from the from the door where the Emperor's table was located. Hearing this voice, everyone from the hall knew who it belonged to. This was indeed the voice of the Emperor. There was this power in his voice which caused the people present to be guided by it and raised their heads unconsciously.

As the people raised their heads, they saw the emperor looking at them. The emperor had black hair and a pitch black eyes that shone mysteriously. His appearance and atmosphere meant one could see at a glance that he had a noble lineage as well as the bearing of an emperor. He gave off such an intangible presence and his body exuded an emperor's aura that anyone would know that he was an emperor or a high ranking noble even if he wore rags. He emitted this grand noble aura as if he was a tyrant up high above. his bearing was completely different from when he was eating in private with his family.

Next to him was the gentle Empress who was as noble and elegant as always. she was a virtuous and wise beauty to many. Behind them were their three sons and their daughter.

Unlike his two brothers, Shad was dressed in white clothes that were white as snow. he looked very handsome with his straight purple-black hair that flowed down from his head, draped over his shoulders before scattering behind him.

Due to the fact he had just broken through the peak of the 4th class mage and did not have time to stabilized his current power, his entire body was emitted out a blazing aura. Within his eyes, a slight electric current would flicker every time he blinked.

Shad immediately felt numerous eyes look towards him. That was not the first time he had seen many high ranking nobles together as he had participated in his older siblings coming of age ceremony. However, it was the first time he was the protagonist of such events.

Some of them stare with respect. That definitely was due to the prestige of the Imperial family. There were those with envy. That comes mostly from the family of the ancient noble etc.

Invariably, there were many young ladies that were looking at his as well. Shad's costume that night was very refined and chic. Along with a handsome face and a shining purple-black hair, it somehow attracted some favorable attention. To the young ladies, Shad's evasive looks made him seemed shy.

” Guests! the ruler of the Djage Empire welcomes you to the festivities! Let us celebrate the coming of age ceremony of the 4th imperial prince. As of today, the 4th prince will help the imperial family bear the burden of the empire and will have a say in some matters.” Declared a close servant after the imperial family had seated.

Listened to the servant, Shad only force a smile and waved his hands in a kingly way to the nobles below, and they began to clap.

” Then let the festivity begin.” The servant announced as the people started to disperse and the orchestra started to play music.
