Chapter 57


"So, Duke. Has anything troubled you since we last met?"

"..."

A curt answer.

Honestly, his answers to a simple greeting had been just as barren then as now.

The Emperor clicked his tongue and pressed him further.

"Duke. Aren't you the least bit curious how I've been? Hm? We haven't seen each other in so long, and this is how you treat me."

So why does this man keep looking at my daughter as if she were already his?
