Darryl said that from the bottom of his heart.
Darryl had been desperate; he even made preparations to evacuate the Royal City and gave up on the South Cloud World and the Empress and Quincy. The Ghost Valley Sage's appearance had restored the situation.
Who would not be convinced by his ability to turn the tide?
Suddenly, the civil and military officials and the South Cloud Army saluted in unison. "It is our pleasure to send the Ghost Valley Sage off." Their voice shook the sky and reverberated throughout the entire area.
Night fell after a few hours.
The South Cloud World Royal City was brightly lit, and people had gathered everywhere to celebrate the victory.
It was the most glorious day for the South Cloud World in a few hundred years; they had defeated Yang Jian and forced the North Moana Army to retreat.
There was a lively celebration in the Firmament Hall in the palace.
The Firmament Hall was where the Empress handled political affairs and met foreign envoys. It was exquisitely and elegantly designed with a majestic look. However, it was also a very solemn place. The Empress had set up a banquet to reward Darryl and the generals to celebrate their victory.
The Firmament Hall had been filled with banquet seats. The civil and military officials sat in full uniform as they saluted to the Empress, who was on the dragon throne. The atmosphere was cheerful and joyful.
Quincy, who always looked cold, was beaming.
Their victorious battle that day was a beautiful win. Everyone was happy.
Darryl put on an elegant white robe and sat on the seat that had been reserved for him. He sat there quietly as he looked out of place; he was quite different from the lively celebrations around him.
Darryl was still thinking about Ambrose.
The civil and military officials knew that Darryl had something on his mind. Even though they wanted to toast him with a glass of wine, they dared not interrupt Darryl when they realized that he was upset.
"Darryl!"
The Empress raised her wine glass slowly and smiled at Darryl. "You've helped us to repel the North Moana Army. Come, let me toast to you."
The Empress knew Darryl was troubled by his son's affairs, so she wanted him to have a few drinks to get him drunk and relieve his sorrow.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Darryl smiled as he raised his glass and drank the wine in one fell swoop.
