"I ALREADY know why you're here, Duke Nystrom," Aku, who was sitting on the throne, told him. "Captain Denver was here a while ago."
Kiho remained standing still in front of the emperor.
I'm here now, Tilly.
He was currently in the throne room and this time, they weren't alone. Two of His Majesty's aide were there– Duke Alastair (gray hair and beard, dark blue eyes, medium build) and Count Dasovich (light brown hair tied in a low pony tail, chocolate brown eyes, small build). Like everyone in the palace, the two older nobles were dressed fancily.
Anyway, the presence of the advisors was exactly why the emperor called him by his title and not by his first name like he usually did.
"First of all, I offer my condolences to House Prescott and House Nystrom," His Majesty continued in a sympathetic voice. "Lord Prescott's passing is definitely a huge loss to the empire. Please extend my condolences to Lady Nystrom as well."
