"Sir Liam, how long are you going to stop us from meeting Emperor Kaiden? Just tell us the truth. The emperor is not currently here, right? Has he gone out to chase after that ex-companion of his?"
Duke Inferno led the small group of nobles and questioned Liam right in front of the Emperor's castle.
From their tone and the self-justified looks they carried, it was clear that they already knew what was going on. And thus, they chose this perfect moment to press their luck and harass Liam.
Liam was well versed in their tactics and decided to hold his ground against them.
"Whatever Emperor Kaiden decides to do is none of our business. As long as he is our emperor and does all the work on time, who are we to question what he can and cannot do? Now, please stop causing a scene here."
Duke Inferno gave Liam a calm look, but there was a storm brewing behind his eyes.
