At the appointed hour, all the guests of the imperial palace gathered in a hall specially designated for this ceremony. As befitting an occasion of such great significance, this luxurious and grand hall very well reflected the greatness and might of the Rheian Empire. There was more than enough space for the esteemed guests to comfortably accommodate themselves while awaiting the main event.
When the time came, Empress Liatris stepped onto the central stage under the bright light of the Alait crystals. In her hands were two envelopes – symbols of an ineffective and, in general, useless formality, but at the same time, a testament to the country's long-standing traditions. The content of one of them was known to her – the result of the vote of the government members, the name of the person to whom the last imperial decree would be entrusted. The content of the second envelope was unknown even to her.
“Emperor Olivius Lapis Rheum left a huge mark on the pages of history of our country and the whole world; he will be remembered by us as an effective politician, a skilled warrior, and a refined connoisseur of art. He opened up many new opportunities for the further development of the empire, ensuring its present and future. He was a good husband and a wonderful father. But today, as sad as it is for us, we are parting with the past and welcoming the future. I am sure the emperor loved all his children equally, even his rebellious son... And yet, no matter how painful it was for him, he had to choose only one of them as his successor. The name of the one who will become the next ruler of our great country. Who will it be? Tharius, Sonata, Luciola, Rana, or... Yubin?” – At the official gathering of the empire's elite, this name was spoken for the first time in many years, which caused a wave of surprise among the guests in the hall. With the death of the emperor himself, however, the order to forget about Yubin Rheum ceased to be valid, and there were no laws that would prevent the deceased ruler from making him his heir after his death. – “The honor of opening the last imperial decree and announcing this long-awaited name goes to the acting Duke Larian, Larian Twice.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty,” Larian Twice stepped onto the stage to the applause of the Empress and then the rest of the audience, “it is a great honor for me.”
“This is a somewhat unexpected result,” the Empress admitted, “however, I believe that the government members made the right choice.” – Liatris handed the second envelope to Twice.
While the elder son of Duke Larian delivered a rather tedious speech, Marquis Seymour asked his wife who he thought the deceased emperor had chosen as his heir and whose name she would like to hear.
