Luo Muchen, adorned in regal attire, entered the grand hall of the intergalactic palace. The hall echoed with hushed whispers as the council members, standing in a semi-circle, awaited his presence. Each council member wore a mix of anticipation and trepidation on their faces, well aware of the weight their request carried.
As he ascended the steps leading to the throne, his eyes scanned the room, taking in the ornate tapestries and glistening chandeliers. The council's nervous energy was palpable, yet he maintained an air of composed authority.
Seated on the throne, he listened intently as the council, their voices trembling with urgency, began their plea. The king had been revealed to be a body-snatching criminal who to elongate his life had been taking his son's bodies without their consent and living on to rule Zeden and even have children with his sons' wives and concubines.
