But everyone was desperately searching and at the same time, fearful. Cases of this magnitude weren't meant to be resolved quickly. What should they report to His Majesty the next day? If they can't explain what happened, His Majesty might get even angrier.
But, the next day, His Majesty behaved uncharacteristically and did not even mention the matter! It was as if nothing happened, very strange...
As long as His Majesty didn't bring it up, everyone would prefer it to be forgotten. The morning court session ended peacefully. Everyone noticed His Majesty seemed to be in a very good mood.
For instance, the chronically ill Master Dunn made several suggestions during the court session. If it were any other day, His Majesty would frown. But on this day, he accepted them with an open mind. Even propositions that were clearly beneficial to the Imperial Court but made His Majesty uncomfortable were approved!
