Imperial Palace, Dragon Empire;
In the royal meeting chamber of the palace where important meetings between the Emperor and his guests take place, Second Prince, Tang Yifan was in the middle of conversing with a couple of elders of Void Temple.
With the Emperor falling sick, Tang Yifan was unanimously appointed as the acting monarch of the empire despite the fact that there were 6 other imperial princes, a crown prince, and three Grand Princes (male siblings of the Emperor), who were all eligible to sit on the throne.
The reason was the fact that Tang Yifan was the only prince who managed to unlock the Fire dragon bloodline and awaken his Red dragon form, just like his grandfather and forefathers. There was no question of competition in the first place.
Ever since he had taken up the duties of the acting monarch a couple of months ago, he knew that the upcoming event was going to be his first big event that he had to manage.
