I Received The First Time Of My Extraordinary Superior (9 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 130

Morning sunlight slanted into the audience chamber, where silence hung heavy in the air.

Emperor Randolph felt uneasy about Crown Prince Edward’s unnervingly confident demeanor—even though events were unfolding exactly as Crown Princess Agatha had foreseen.
