To The Eternal Knight (2 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 234
There wasn’t much time to be flustered before the Emperor’s stern command. Duke Roselini cleared his throat slightly and stepped toward the Emperor.
Of course, he wasn’t completely idle. Casting his eyes deliberately toward the anxious former imperial faction and former noble faction nobles who were watching him nervously, he met each of their gazes one by one—and finally gave Duke Hedeck a subtle nod while adjusting his cravat.
This was a signal. Even if matters went awry and he couldn’t enter the banquet hall, it was a message entrusting “what comes after” to Duke Hedeck.
Now, everything depended on Duke Hedeck: for the Crown Prince to appear, explain this incident, and drag the Emperor’s lineage into scandal.
Duke Roselini, armored in calm composure, arrived before the Emperor. The Emperor glanced at him once, then spoke in a gentle voice.
“It’s been quite a while since you and I have had a moment alone like this.”
The Emperor began walking slowly. The staircase leading into the banquet hall looked high.
Before, this staircase had seemed as though it embodied Duke Roselini’s own authority—but not anymore.
“Back when I was Grand Duke, it felt like this happened somewhat regularly.”
Especially now, with the Emperor beside him, uttering words whose meaning he couldn’t quite grasp.
“Ah—no, that’s not right. It was I who unilaterally wanted to meet with you. Hahaha.”
Though his mouth laughed, the Emperor’s eyes remained sharply honed as they fixed upon Duke Roselini. The Duke felt as if he stood upon a carpet woven from thorns.
What words could possibly deflect that gaze? Under a stare where each second stretched like dozens of minutes, all Duke Roselini could offer was a pitiful excuse.
“…I sincerely apologize. Back then, Your Majesty, I was occupied with other matters.”
In an instant, the Emperor’s eyes sharpened further. Seemingly agreeing with the claim of being “busy,” he spoke as though he knew exactly what Duke Roselini had been doing at that time.
