207 A State Reception

As commotion ensued with everyone scattering everywhere and the loud trumpet of the elephant made the entire street tremble.

"It's the royal elephant..."

"Don't stand in its way... Run..."

"Soldiers won't help us..."

The cries of people and the screeches of little children filled the air.

The Emperor took a deep breath and followed Xing who was walking against the crowd towards the elephant running in their direction closing in the distance between them as if it was the natural thing to do. It was decorated with silk clothes around its forehead and back and tassels of pure gold threads were hanging from those decorative clothes making it look fit to be a Royal Pet.

How extravagant and how stupid to have a big elephant as the royal pet! Thought the one who had a black panther adorned with golden collar as a pet.
