The sight of the people below, welcoming each other with open hearts, brought a wise smile to his face.

Beside him stood, The crown Prince Jimin with his lover. The prince looked enchanting, his wide smile and eyes filled with unshed tears of contentment.

Secretly, his hand was wrapped in yoongi's, a gesture of their love. he smiled shyly, his heart brimming with joy.

Alongside them were Lisa and Guard Jung, who had long struggled to witness this moment.

They stood blessed by the sight, their hearts swelling with pride and hope for the future.

The people below cheered, their voices rising in a harmonious chorus that echoed through the palace grounds.

Taehyung and jungkook exchanged a glance, their hearts swelling with hope for the future.

The Emperor raised his hand, and fortunately, all the people noticed him.

Leaving their conversations, they focused their attention on him. Now standing in front of the palace gate, he began to speak.

"I am aware that many of you have struggled to keep up with our shifting and moving," he said, his voice carrying across the gathered crowd.

"I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. Your resilience and patience have not gone unnoticed, and I am deeply grateful for your unwavering support."
