"Augus, stay here. The rest of you may leave," Richard said as he waved his hand.
The knights and officials left the palace hall, clearly showing envy toward Augus for being allowed to remain.
Augus was naturally confused, unsure why Richard had asked him to stay.
However, he hesitated to speak first. Right now, he was even unsure how to address Richard.
Calling him Your Majesty felt awkward, yet he was also worried about calling him by his name directly.
"Augus, I'm in a good mood right now, and last night, you did something good for me. Tell me—what do you want as your reward?" Richard said as Augus awaited his words.
Hearing that, Augus's eyes widened and sparkled.
"Are you serious, Richard?" he blurted out instinctively, then immediately covered his mouth, realizing his mistake in calling Richard by name.
Fortunately, there was no one else left in the hall.
