"Does the news about the Roagelt Massacre become controversial around the continent?" Charles asked his minister. He was sitting leisurely in his throne, but deep inside, his sanity was slowly deteriorating because of Aster's absence.
"Yes, Your Majesty, that monstrous guy had been portrayed as a monster all across the continent and had been condemned for his heinous act," the minister replied.
"Good, we are lucky that slave had killed a boy, or else, the news wouldn't be as controversial, make sure that everybody knows. I don't know where Empress Aster is right now, but as long as we can portray that slave in a bad way, I'm sure Aster will also be in trouble."
"Yes, Your Majesty," The minister left the Emperor Chamber after reporting about the news. Charles laughed maniacally, he took Aster's small portrait from his pocket and kissed it gently.
