The next day, the atmosphere of the whole Otrefiona Empire was very festive as the news about the Emperor performing the Blood Dragon Ceremony had spread throughout the whole empire. And as general population still had no idea about the problem related to the first princess, they were just happy to know this news.
Actually, Dominic had obviously tried to spread some rumours about his sister's death among the general population in secret. But with the extra security that the emperor had prepared, none of these rumours were able to spread and anyone trying to spread them were executed.
Seeing this very harsh outcome, even with the first prince's orders, many of his subordinates backed out. That was why, the rumours about Azusa's death had not spread outside of the Otrefiona castle at all.
