Royal Knight Commander medal.
With this medal, one can freely access most areas of the Imperial Palace, exercise some of the Emperor's authority, have temporary appointment and dismissal rights over officials below the level of Governor, and represent the Emperor himself to participate in the highest-level military conferences of the Empire's Military Department.
Of course, Yang Ming would not easily exercise such authority.
This medal pinned on him signifies that his every word and action once again represents the Empire's Emperor.
The imperial protection lost back then has circled back and fallen upon him once more.
However, times have changed, and Yang Ming no longer needs to be constrained by this imperial authority.
In the dead of night, in the corner of Daphne's sleeping chamber within the Imperial Palace.
Yang Ming and Daphne were embracing each other, with a self-suspending crystal ball placed before them, seemingly whispering sweet nothings like tender lovers.
