When they heard the emperor's words, they couldn't help but break their solemn faces.
"Y-Your Majesty?!" Johnson dropped his jaw.
"What? After seeing the magic weapon, I simply can't contain myself anymore. This is a private meeting anyway, so I can say almost anything I want. No one is going to nag me to maintain my image anymore."
"Your Majesty. This might be a private meeting, but if the empress asks me about this, I really can't lie."
"Don't you dare say a word to her." The emperor gritted his teeth. "Look at you. You are so young, but your achievement might be even more amazing than all the people in the dynasty combined. Do you know how the world will change because of this magic weapon of yours?
"Just tell me. As long as you are willing to settle down, you can have anything. In fact, if you want my throne, just ask me. None of my daughters are ugly, so I'm sure they will satisfy you. If you want all of them, you just have to say the word."
