"Lord Governor, Her Majesty the Empress requests your attendance at the court meeting to hear the work reports from provincial officials."
The palace maid respectfully conveyed the Empress's command to Roland.
Roland was taken aback.
Sif rarely notified him of meetings in such a formal manner unless there were significant matters at hand.
He didn't mind; he was even somewhat pleased.
This signified that Sif was gradually accepting her identity as Empress.
Roland quickly changed into the Governor's uniform and walked towards the Empress's Palace opposite with a smile.
The palace meeting hall was on the first floor.
As soon as Roland arrived, he saw that the military and political chiefs of the Three Provinces were all present.
Usually, before the start of meetings, Sif would always discuss matters with Roland in advance, at least rehearsing the script; rarely did she take full charge by herself.
It seemed that today she was going to lead the meeting.
