After meeting with the Prince, Landyn went to the Empress's chamber as he knew that Empress Marozia was waiting for him. The conversation that awaited him was one he really wished to avoid. However, he knew very well that it's not possible to do that.
The guard walked inside the chamber and bowed before the Empress who never took her gaze off him.
Just a second felt like hours for the guard at that time and the silence was making him feel more and more uneasy. However, when the Empress finally spoke up, it wasn't what he was expecting.
"Have a seat first."
Though Landyn was taken aback, he sat on the couch opposite the Empress without saying anything.
"Did you clear up things with the Princess?" Empress Marozia asked Landyn after maintaining her silence for a while.
