Lilith, who had been summoned, arrived not long after.
She looked puzzled at being suddenly called by her father, the king.
When she saw Richard, her confusion turned to shock and then to interest.
She immediately realized she had been called because of Richard, but she couldn't guess what he was doing there.
She approached them with a constantly questioning expression, glancing back and forth between Richard, the King, and the Empress.
However, both the King and Empress still looked thoughtful.
"What is it that you called me for?" Lilith finally asked.
Of course, her gaze was fixed on the King as she asked, since it was he who had called her.
"Ehmm…" The King cleared his throat, seeming to decide that he would speak, because the relationship between the Empress and Lilith was somewhat awkward.
"Lilith, Richard says he wants to be engaged to you. What do you think?" the King said bluntly.
Lilith froze instantly, so stunned she didn't immediately show her surprise.
