Alexa Palace,_
King Alphard invited the Privy king to play chess with him. While they were engrossed in the game, Frederick, prime minister Gregory's aide arrived.
Frederick bowed in respect.
"Greetings, Your Majesty the King. I'm sorry, I'm Frederick, prime minister Gregory's aide coming to report!"
"Hmm. What's going on? Where's prime minister Gregory? Why isn't he reporting?" King Alphard said without turning to Frederick.
"I apologize, Your Majesty. Prime Minister Gregory is sick. I have come to represent him."
King Alphard stopped glaring at the chess pieces, he turned to Frederick with a smile,
"Did I hear correctly? Gregory is sick?! That's amazing. Hahaha. It turns out that arrogant man can also be sick. Hahaha!" King Alphard was amused.
