"You may leave. Someone will come to notify you once the investigation begins." The empress sent him off with a smile.
Alaric bowed respectfully and stepped out of the throne room.
Once he left the throne room, his smile faded.
There's something weird happening.
Alaric felt that there was something off with the empress, but this was only his gut-feeling.
While he was immersed in his thoughts, a pleasant voice drifted into his ears.
"Your Highness, I am Samantha. I will take you to your mansion."
Alaric turned his head and saw a beautiful blonde woman with monolid eyes. From her facial features, Alaric could tell that she wasn't a pure Veronican.
He buried his suspicions and let out a warm smile. "Alright. Lead the way."
"This way please." Samantha bowed deeply unintentionally revealing a seep ravine.
Alaric noticed her little tricks, but he acted indifferently about it.
