Rumenia Empire, Imperial Court.
Day XXX, Time: XX: XX
At this moment, the letter penned by Mary, the famous maid of Duke Lockhart, reached the emperor's ears, and a frown appeared on that ever-smiling face.
All those who saw the emperor make such a face flinched before they held their ground and averted their eyes.
In a situation where their emperor showed such emotions, it was best to look away and pretend they had not seen anything. It was the best option for the dignity of the imperial family.
Not that the emperor cared. He ruled with such a tight fist that no one could say 'no' to him.
"Hand that letter here. I will read it before checking if this is sensitive information."
The emperor held his hand out, and the guard handed him the letter without hesitation.
