"It's time for this old man to exit from the stage of life and give place to the next generation."
"Don't be sad!"
The bright light slowly faded after illuminating the entire region. For a moment it felt like the world had turned into pure white, yet as the glow dispersed, everyone realized something terrifying.
Emperor Edward was missing.
A stunned silence spread for a heartbeat.
Then chaos exploded.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!!!"
The crowd who were watching the broadcast were taken aback.
People screamed as they rushed forward.
Some fell to their knees while others desperately searched around as if the Emperor would suddenly reappear. Panic rose like a storm. Knights grabbed their helmets with trembling hands.
Some shook uncontrollably.
