Meanwhile, in the royal palace at the heart of Dawn City, the frail and gaunt Alfred sat on the throne, eyes closed as he rested.

The grand hall, glittering with gold and jade, was filled to the brim with people.

Present were the seven dukes, including Evelyn, the crown prince Leonie, the second prince Runne, the third princess Raphael, the sixth princess Fratis, and other royal family members. Along with them were high-ranking nobles, officials, and powerful figures from Dawn City, such as the head of the Magic Association Augustine, the president of Starry Academy Selin, and the empire's war god Winston.

Nearly everyone was present. Even Cassel, the Black Dragon of the All-Beings Empire, Krik, the giant, and people from the Via Empire had arrived.
