Inside the room, silence fell once more.
Chief Steward Bu stood in the courtyard, appearing somewhat uneasy.
It wasn't that Chief Steward Bu was worried about the wrath of the True Emperor befalling him; years of familiarity had made Chief Steward Bu well-acquainted with the True Emperor, and such small matters would not cause the True Emperor to shift his anger onto him.
What troubled Chief Steward Bu was... he couldn't find any words to describe the Seventh Prince.
Arrogant?
Insane?
These words were clearly not suitable to describe the Seventh Prince, nor were they appropriate to utter in front of the True Emperor.
What troubled Chief Steward Bu even more was that he couldn't find any words to comfort the True Emperor.
After all, that was the Seventh Prince, His Majesty's seventh son.
Fortunately, the True Emperor didn't remain silent for long. Soon, the True Emperor's voice sounded again, only this time without laughter, but with a few hints of sighs and gravity.
