Chapter 123 Commencement

• Melissa had been sitting on her throne, in the same posture for thirty minutes and smiling at everyone. Maids and other citizens came into the throne room to get a glimpse of her. They all wanted to see how beautiful the Luna was. She could hear a series of murmurs from outside the throne room discussing her.
• Some were even discussing how elegant both her maids looked. Melissa shook her head, she wasn't interested in any of this. And she knew if this lasted ten minutes more she would scream. But luckily for her, after about five minutes, a procession from outside announced the arrival of the king. Everyone in the hall stood up, except Melissa. She was the Luna, hence she was the host. The rest of the people were the welcoming party.
• The entire room went silent, then a drumbeat boomed across the room, then another. Soon a symphony of multiple drumbeats filled the entire room and a large beat sounded, behind them in synchrony to the other beats. It was as if a warrior was walking in.
