Hearing Surya's inquiry, Emperor Carl Franz couldn't help but feel a bit hesitant and embarrassed.
There is indeed a dragon kept underground in the Empire's Royal Zoo, but this matter is classified as top secret. How did Laine find out?
"Is there really a dragon?" The Duchess "Surya," who was holding Laine's arm, continued to ask.
The Emperor always felt something was off about this "Surya" in front of him. In his impression, Surya was a Duchess with a sense of nobility, civilized and elegant, with the demeanor of a grand lady. But today, she seemed very lively, liked to take the initiative to speak, and even her tone had changed. Her tone towards Laine shifted from mutual respect to one with subtle commanding undertones. If it weren't for the continued respect in her voice for Laine, Carl Franz might have thought Surya had been swapped.
"Surya!" Laine somewhat reproachfully said to Surya, "This is His Majesty Carl's secret, you shouldn't press like that."
