"If it's not too much trouble your_, empress I would love to ask for the reason why you came to seek me out so early in the morning. Do you have something that you would like us to discuss?"
The empress slowly placed her cup of tea down on the table. Even that simple act was filled with gracefulness.
"I will get straight to it then," the empress looked at Scarlet seriously and she asked, "How much would it take for you to sell this planet back to the royal family?"
She almost dropped the cup of chocolate milk in her hands because of this unexpected question which she had not foreseen.
Of all the questions or things she expected the empress to discuss with her, buying back the planet was not on her list.
The empress noticed her tiny reactions and she said, "You must be fluttered by my question dear, I should apologize for suddenly springing it on you like this."
Scarlet put down her own cup of milk and took a deep breath.
