The day of national celebration for the Zhelan Empire came to an end, and the Queen's coronation ceremony also concluded, as Ou Lan stepped onto the flower-filled path, heroically arriving at the Royal Palace's back garden.
Baili Chen was standing in front of the Queen's bedchamber steps, leaning on a cane, smiling as he awaited his granddaughter's return.
Seeing her wearing the crown and draped in a golden cloak, he felt immense pride, like an old man awaiting the return of a younger generation wearing fine clothes.
The golden afterglow of the sunset bathed the lawn and flower beds in front of the hall, and the elder's gray hair was also coated with a sheen of golden light.
Seeing her grandfather, Ou Lan couldn't help but quicken her pace, feeling as if she was returning to a warm home.
Seeing Ou Lan quicken her pace, Baili Chen also smiled and stepped down the stairs one by one.
