"Are you curious, young Merrick?"
Theo heard a very familiar voice, which made him drop to his knees in a matter of seconds.
The emperor moved forward and chuckled while looking at Theo.
"Young Theo has such respect toward me. When will you be like this, Aldric?" The emperor spoke again with a sly smile, making a vein pop on the Baron's head.
Both the Baron and the Baroness stood in one place and did not kneel.
The emperor looked toward the Baroness and smiled.
"It's been a while, Seraphina." The emperor spoke, "How have you been?"
"Pretty busy because of your lapdog, your highness." The Baroness spoke in a tone that made Theo feel like his sweat was moving upward instead of down, in a miracle.
But in return, the emperor started laughing like crazy, making Theo and the attendants feel like they were at the wrong place at the wrong time.
"I missed this," He spoke while wiping away tears of laughter. "Truly."
