The inauguration ceremony 2

{Music Recommendation- A blinded person by greed by Jung Sae Rim}

"Father, I have an annouce-"

"I must make an announcement, Your Majesty," the Imperial Consort declares, drawing all eyes to her.

The Emperor's brow creases as he turns sharply, shooting her a silencing glare. "What are you doing?" the Empress hisses under her breath, a warning clear in her tone.

But the Imperial Consort still rises slowly from her seat, she steps forward with deliberate poise.

Her gaze sweeps over the crowd before narrowing on the Aisin royal family. The corners of her lips curl into a sly smile, unmistakable triumph flashing in her eyes.

"Your Majesty," she begins, her voice echoing across the vast hall, "I'm afraid the Crown Princess seated here is nothing but a fake."

The words hit like thunder. A collective gasp ripples through the crowd. Murmurs swell, shock and disbelief spreading like wildfire.
