Unable To Escape (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 17
“I offer my greetings to His Majesty, the great Emperor Eregorn.”
Riley, who had come to the audience chamber with his father the Marquis, obediently bowed his head, following his father’s respectful greeting.
The Crown Prince, not hiding his sharp glare toward Duke Diaz; Duke Diaz, ignoring the Crown Prince and gazing steadily at the Emperor; and the Emperor, lost in thought as he watched the two of them.
Riley, having raised his head after bowing with his father, found his curiosity about Alicia growing even stronger under the tense atmosphere, one that seemed ready to explode at the slightest provocation.
“It’s definitely an issue involving the Imperial Princess. Anything less couldn’t possibly create such tension among this particular group.”
Riley briefly considered feigning ignorance and casually dropping some mention of Alicia to gauge reactions, but quickly shook his head and suppressed his curiosity.
Even curiosity must be tempered by time and place.
While other matters might have been acceptable to explore, Riley knew perfectly well that any inquiry regarding Alicia was absolutely forbidden right here, right now.
“This year, I get to see Duke Diaz’s face earlier than usual.”
“That can’t be good news for you, Marquis Anderson.”
“Should I thank you for understanding?”
At Killian’s curt reply, the Marquis gave a faint smile, while Riley shook his head.
Though their voices remained calm as they exchanged greetings, their eyes held murderous intent—so unmistakably hostile that even a stranger could tell their relationship was far from amicable.
“I didn’t want to feel the arrival of spring through a situation like this…”
Riley, watching the two from behind, suppressed a sigh.
