Valerian heard the message, but he did not react. Azula nodded and said, "I will be there shortly."
She turned to face, Priscilla, and said, "Take Consano, Conixia, and Valerian to meet my mother and arrange for their accommodations in my residential wing."
Priscilla bowed her head and said, "As you command Your Highness."
The matters in the house were dealt with by the empress and not the Emperor. This was an unspoken rule, that nobody ever defied in royal families. Valerian looked at the princess and fell in thought about whether he should say something or not.
Azula caught his gaze and asked, "What do you want to ask, Valerian?"
The boy thought for a bit and asked, 'Is it necessary to bow my head to someone else?'
