Dumpy followed Leo outside the throne room, hopping with a big smile on his face.
"We are never returning to this place ever again are we? Lord Father?" Dumpy inquired, as Leo glanced silently towards his pet, before breaking into a big smile.
"Most likely… yes–" Leo said, as Dumpy began to snicker and laugh.
This was the Lord Father he knew and respected.
Everyone else in the world might strive to be Emperor.
Might dream of the day they ascended the throne, but for Lord Father it was but another mundane achievement.
"Might I interest Lord Father in some of the beauties waiting for you outside these halls? In my understanding there are quite a few who are plump and ready to plant your seed in" Dumpy asked, as Leo chuckled out loud.
"Come here–" Leo said, slowing his pace, as he allowed Dumpy to hop beside him, their pace now in sync.
