Claire looked at the crowd of people that were looking at her with a speechless gaze as she also looked so dumbfounded by the unexpected situation that just happened a few minutes ago. Would've thought that the Hero would ask for the princess since even the princess also seems astonished with the Hero's declaration towards the Emperor. When all the people in the whole hall including Calipsto and Claire turned into freeze, the Emperor suddenly let go a little chuckle as Adam still looked earnest with his question and doesn't seem like he will take back what he just said. Staring at Adam who still looked his way with seriousness in his eyes, the Emperor then tilted his head as he put his chin on the back of his palm.
" Basically means, the Hero asked the princess for her hand in marriage, right? "
Glanced at the Emperor, Adam then bends his head as he politely bows. " Yes, your Majesty. "
" Then, why don't you ask the princess herself for her answer instead? "
