The current monarch of the Island Kingdom of Lihai sat on the throne in the dark and empty throne room, the sliding doors on both sides leading to terraces wide open to let the moonlight in from one side.
His face that usually was emotionless had a shadow of turmoil over it.
"You seem troubled, Your Majesty"
A voice resounded in the room, as the eyes of the man on the throne rose to look forward with vigilance.
But after a moment, a recognition appeared in them as his posture that previously began to tense up, gradually relaxed again.
After he kept quiet for a bit, the voice added "Speak your thoughts freely, there is no merit in asking a question only to get the answer you like if the truth is the opposite"
The eyes of the King expressed a slight turmoil after those words, and he finally sighed.
