Chapter 78
“Your Highness.”
“…”
“I was just joking with you. I’m not going to run away.”
“How do I believe you?”
Rexid opened his eyes and disputed my words right away.
“I thought that you were going to trust me? Are you going back on your word?”
“…”
He wasn’t responding since he was at a disadvantage. I couldn’t help but laugh as Rexid closed his eyes again.
“I promised that I would help you get revenge and make you into an emperor. I won’t leave until I’ve fulfilled my promise.”
Rexid opened his eyes after listening to me. He still looked sulky, even after I told him what he wanted to hear.
“Where are you going to go once it’s all over? Going back to swindling people?”
“I don’t know, I’ll think about it.”
“I’ll give you a lot of money… I’ll even give you a hefty title. So, don’t go back to your life of crime and stay by my side.”
“That’s a romantic way of saying that you’re going to continue to use me even after becoming the emperor.”
