The following day, nobles from all over the empire and other important figures from other countries arrived at the capital. All the gates were jam-packed with people, nobles, well-known merchants, and even commoners.
Word got out that an imperial engagement was going to be announced in the evening, and this was a huge deal. The Alderon Empire was one of the superpowers on the planet, and there weren't many members of the imperial family left that weren't engaged yet.
The only ones were the empress's children, her daughter and son. So this announcement would be a huge deal, so everyone wanted to be a part of it.
Religious leaders from the Zekari Theocracy arrived as well. They were a rather particular bunch, and once they entered the capital, the common people kept their distance from their carriages.
They were all white, except for a large crest on the doors and flags of a person praying toward a golden crown. Symbolizing their reverence for the creator God Sigurus.
