Chapter 69
The magnificent emperor's carriage is so heavy that if it was pulled by ordinary horses, it would only be able to move slowly to a crawl if they were pulled by six of them. However, these two horses can pull it with ease. At first glance, both were beautiful white horses, but they had silver horns on their foreheads, and their manes and tails were tinged with blue light. If you look closely, you can see fangs peeking out from their mouths.
Why fangs on a horse? Aren't they herbivores? Maybe they are not.......
But that's what makes them so cool! The horses alone are amazing, so it's no wonder people are excited to see them.

The glittering carriage pulled up right in front of Alexei and Ekaterina.
The emperor's attendant, dressed to the teeth, opened the carriage door.
Alexei put his fist on his chest and bowed graciously.
One step behind her, Ekaterina bowed deeply in a kneeling position, as graceful as a noblewoman.
"Alexei, I appreciate the welcome. Make yourself comfortable."
A resounding voice could be heard.
"So that's your sister there. I was hoping to meet her."
"I am honored, Your Majesty."
Alexei takes a half step back and takes Ekaterina's hand.
"With your kind words, my sister Ekaterina is honored to meet you."
There was an uncontrollable sense of pride in his voice. Held up by her brother's hand, Ekaterina stood up and raised her eyes from shying away.
"I am Ekaterina Yurinova. It is an honour to be granted an audience with you."
Although she was able to say it calmly, Ekaterina squeezed Alexei's hand.
Ekaterina's POV
That's His Majesty the Emperor. The dignity and pressure is incredible. It was so amazing that I couldn't even say anything more.
The Emperor of Yurigran, Constantine Yurigran.
He looks exactly like a carbon copy of the prince. I believe that he's about 40 years old, and I think he's the perfect example of what the prince will look like in the future once he reaches this age. This handsome man will be even more attractive the older he becomes.
His hair is the color of summer sky with a hint of white. His eyes are the same bright summer sky blue as the prince's, but his gaze is powerful and heavy. I wonder what kind of experiences he's lived through.
Currently, the Imperial Kingdom is peaceful and stable. There is no doubt that this person is the most dedicated person in the empire to make that happen.
Thank you, Your Majesty, the Sage Emperor, whom even my brother respects.
3rd POV
The emperor hummed and softened his gaze.
"Such a beautiful young lady. I'm so relieved to finally meet you and your brother, Alexei, and I'm glad you're on good terms."
"I'm incredibly honored, Your Majesty."
Shaking Ekaterina's hand back, Alexei bowed and smiled as he locked eyes with his sister.
"I've heard about the magic beast. I was wondering what kind of tomboy you were, but I was surprised to see you looking so ladylike." (Empress)
The Empress, standing beside the Emperor, called out to Ekaterina.
Ekaterina's POV
I've been hoping to meet you, Empress Magdalena!
Her hair and eyes are blue-green in color, the same as the coral reef sea, a very beautiful color. Her eyes were bright, and even though the corners of her eyes were creased with a smile, she looked young and didn't look to be the same age as the emperor. She is a beautiful woman with a dignified appearance. She's also unusually tall for a woman, not much taller than His Majesty.
She is as cool as I imagined her to be! She looks like the kind of woman who can be a good boss. It's not that she has the same facial features, but she definitely looks like a former Takarazuka top star actress that I rather liked in my previous life.
