The voice of Prime Minister Vinod reverberated throughout the parliament, attracting everyone's unhindered attention.
"A very good morning to all my fellow colleagues and servants of the Empire."
"Today, we are here to deliberate on passing a bill put forward by His Majesty the Emperor himself. I will be reading the bill shortly, so please listen carefully."
The expressions on all the ministers' faces immediately became serious and sombre. Everyone knew that this parliamentary session was just a formality since no bill put forward by His Majesty would be rejected by them, but still, it was necessary for them to show their professionalism and raise a few points of concern so as not to appear like they were here to play soy sauce.
Clearing his throat, Vinod spoke out:
"Imperial Bill #37 of 1671: The Tea and Coffee Special Economic Zones Act, 1671, proposed on the 6th of August, 1671."
