The Emperor quickly came out, practically panicked because of the Empress and what she had just shouted.
"Did something happen?" He came out, out of breath, and his eyes widened when he saw who she was talking to.
"Caedrel? You're finally back from the Snowy Mountains?"
The Emperor was having a hard time believing that it really was me from the looks of it. Maybe he had expected that it would take me even more time to get back for some reason. He also looked somewhat scared of me as he kept staring in my direction.
But then his eyes shifted to the person standing next to me, and his eyes widened even more. If it continued like this, he might have a heart attack. He was that shocked.
"T-the Queen of the Ice Elves is here with you…?!" He couldn't believe it. "Just what the hell happened in the Snowy Mountains for her to accompany you all the way here."
