Queen Ariadne's POV.

The Emperor and I were called by the priest to perform the prayers. This was done for the success of the empire and it's Emperor. Mother said that Queen Valeria was the one who performed last year. Am sure she would kill me after to day.

I sat down on the mat beside the priest. We began the prayers after the priests asked us to close our eyes. We did as he said. In fact, everyone's eyes  were shut.

After a few minutes of prayers. The priest told us to break the coconut that was kept on the tray. This reminded me of our wedding. Though Mother was the one who broke it for me instead.

After he broke the priest said  few words out loud and the people started clapping. I was surprised when I opened my eyes I saw them standing up to appreciate the Emperor like he just won a battle.

We thanked the priest and mother asked me to share some of the gifts to the poor. I was about going before the Emperor stopped me.
