Arren's interest in his crush, the emperor, made him more curious about the state of the empire. Well, at least he wanted to know more about the emperor the most rather than the empire.
When he came home a few days later, he began to search for any interviews or even photos of the emperor. However, he found out that the new Emperor didn't have many public interviews yet, and some of the speeches were formal events where the media couldn't easily access them.
There were also a pitiful number of photos circulating on the internet, and Arren was unable to find more. It did make sense; after all, the monarch was a figure everyone respected in the empire and not some kind of normal celebrity.
Afterward, Arren also began to search for any rumors, like dating rumors around the emperor. Similarly, he didn't find any. Some were just speculations from the general public, such as who was fit to be an empress based on popularity, status, or even appearance.
