The worries of Asmodeus became a reality from the moment he thought they might play tricks on them, and they did! Originally, they were supposed to meet the Emperor first thing the next morning.
However, the royal elven knights told Asmodeus and his companions that the Emperor was tired and turned them away at the door. Not long after, a servant sent another message.
"So the emperor will only meet me and you, Ciela?" Asmodeus rubbed his chin, feeling irritated after having to stay at a crappy inn for the night because the Emperor never allowed them to stay inside Ar'Ciela's former palace.
"This place is so humid and annoying!" Erika complained while gazing at Ciela, Alice, Vinea and Asmodea, who all seemed unpleased.
