C 77
"Oh... Yes."
I don't think it's a lovely face, but well, it's been a long time since I've seen it.
"Have you seen the prince?"
"Yes."
"How was it?"
"It was fine."
In response to my brief answer, the emperor showed a perplexed expression.
He looked at me closely, chuckled, and then nodded. I tilted my head.
"Do
you know that the empire was turned upside down because of you? Even
the Imperial Knights weren't enough to stop that rabid dog."
I thought I knew who he was talking about.
"Well, you saved my son. If there's anything you want, I'll listen, so tell me."
"Something I want? There's nothing right now."
I
rubbed my cheeks with my palm several times, shifted my legs, tilted my
head, and then shook it because I still couldn't think of anything.
"I can't remember anything right now."
"Then, if you ever need something later, just let me know."
"Um, can I visit the imperial palace often then?"
"The imperial palace?"
"Yes, Enosh... No, I want to see the prince and Lily unnie."
Entering the imperial palace was only possible with permission from the imperial family.
"That's not difficult. Get a pass from the chamberlain before you go."
The elderly attendant who had brought me here bowed slightly and smiled.
"Was it the chamberlain...?"
Wouldn't he have a considerable rank if he were the chief chamberlain of the imperial family?
It was a bit strange for such a person to come to pick me up.
As if she were waiting for the emperor to finish his words, the woman beside him looked at me and spoke.
"We finally meet like this. I am Enosh's mother."
As expected, she was the empress.
