I am currently sitting opposite to where Ace is sitting. It is rare for him to speak with me in private.
“May I ask what may it be that you would like to discuss with me privately?” I asked him.
“I wanted to ask you why you want to participate in this candidacy?” he asked.
“Really? We’re going to talk about that thing again? I already told you, it is for this empire’s safety as well as your family’s safety,” I answered informally. I got mad because he kept on asking me why when I already told him the truth.
“From what danger exactly? Is it related to those assassination attempts?” he asked again which took me aback.
“You knew that there were quite a few attempts to assassinate you?” I asked him worriedly.
“Yes… I don’t know how, but ever since this sword was with me, I can feel murderous auras from afar that were aiming for me,” he replied. I didn’t know that the enchantment was that strong.
I stretched out my hand, then spoke.
