With Richard's decree in hand, the head butler escorted Emma away, leaving only Richard and Augus in the palace hall.
Augus still looked utterly incredulous at what had just happened.
He stood frozen, still questioning whether all of this was real or not.
"Emma agreed to become your wife, but I think it's because of material benefits and authority," Richard said, snapping Augus out of his daze.
After that, Augus suddenly broke into a smile.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if it's because of material things. What matters is that she's becoming my wife," he said, clearly wanting to laugh but holding himself back since he was still in front of Richard.
Richard rolled his eyes when he heard that and waved his hand dismissively.
"Go! Go!" he said.
"Richard, thank you!" Augus nodded and did not forget to thank Richard before finally leaving.
"Boy, this kingdom will collapse in no time if it's managed like this."
