Ludwig's face turned red with anger, he slammed the table as he tried to contain his wrath. His ministers were scared whenever they saw their Emperor's wrath first hand. Because his eyes would turn black and he emanated a powerful aura that made them tremble.
"Failed? The mission failed?!" Ludwig glared at his ministers. He had been meticulously planning this to annex the duchy, so his sister would have no way to live except staying inside the Golden Palace with him.
He already imagined how he would kill Harion, and then married his sister. Aster could live, because he has the blood of his sister, but he would be degraded as a low class noble.
Admittedly, the mission was planned by his ever amazing son, Charles. Charles noticed that his father was staring at his Aunt Camille's portrait for so long. Out of boredom, Charles offered to plan something to destroy the duchy.
Now it was all ruined.
