Picked Up a Beast, Turns Out He's an Emperor (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 74

Imperial Palace VIP Room.

The door to the reception room in the VIP room opened and then firmly closed.

The emperor, standing in front of the door and casting a long shadow on the marble floor, looked at Arabella, who was happily calling his name.

Her honest face, unable to hide her excitement, flushed pink as she hurriedly crossed the wide reception room and ran toward him.

With just a few steps left, Arabella suddenly stopped running, remembering the etiquette lesson she had that morning.

Her round eyes wandered for a moment, unsure what to do, then dropped downward as she bowed her head.
