They turned immediately, surprised
Anton stood up immediately, eyes widened. Trent and Marie just stared in disbelief.
T–The Emperor?
"S–Sir---"
"Sit down, Anton" the Emperor chuckled— he was being supported by a bodyguard while he walked towards them.
He smiled at Trent and took the seat at the far end of the table.
"It's good to finally meet you, Trent"
"It's good to meet you too... Your majesty" Trent stood up and bowed slightly.
Marie stood up too and just bowed.
"I know it's too late, but I'll love if you called me grandfather"
Huh? What's wrong with this father and daughter duo?
Do they think they just get to---
He exhaled as his eyes met Marie's
"It's good to see you, grandfather"
Not like it takes anything away from me.
"That's good..." He coughed, taking a clean cloth from the guard.
"I'm sure you have a lot of questions to ask. I understand whatever you are feeling right now" he paused.
