The royal procession

After the coronation, it was a tradition in the Haimirich Empire for the emperor and empress to have a parade in the street of the capital. It was an auspicious event that wasn't just exclusive to the nobles but also for the people of the empire to celebrate. 

After many years of waiting... they would finally welcome an empress.

People from all stages and ladders of life thronged the sidewalks to have a glimpse of the empress and the emperor. Excitement and joy sparkled in everyone's eyes. Children held hand flags of the Haimirich Empire and each building also raised its flags, which would flatter whichever direction the wind blew. 

Men had either celebrated with booze or practiced abstinence to be able to see the royal procession. Women had brought garlands or a basket full of flowers to throw in the street or to the monarchs as a gesture of love and respect for them.
