Bright's gaze shifted to Emma, awaiting an explanation. "Lady White, care to enlighten me on the purpose of this impromptu meeting?"
Emma, maintaining her poise, responded, "Your Highness, I sought an audience with King Otto to discuss matters related to the recent financial assessments and proposed solutions for the relocation compensation."
Bright's expression remained unreadable, a mix of curiosity and something more inscrutable. "Is that so?" he said tersely, his eyes flickering between Emma and King Otto.
King Otto interjected, "It's a matter of the kingdom's finances, Prince Alejandro. I thought it best to consult with Lady White on these intricate details. Consulting someone who understands financial restraint is more prudent than relying on your generous and lavish tendencies to squander the kingdom's funds."
Slightly taken aback, Bright defended his perspective, "Is being generous a sin?"
