[Cael: Why are you angry? I was just worried about you, so I asked.]
[Cael: Are you really not going to reply?]
[Cael: I met your father, he told me to visit the Imperial Palace.]
[Anna: What?]
After that incident, Anastasia barely spoke to him for several days.
Caelum had initially thought she would calm down after some time, but she remained strangely distant, only responding when absolutely necessary.
Eventually, after enduring this treatment for quite a while, he decided to contact her through the Private Badge.
The moment he saw her reply, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Then he casually slipped the badge back into his pocket.
Naturally, he had lied.
He had not met the Emperor, but he was completely oblivious to the fact that the Emperor was quite eager to meet him.
However, that was not important.
What mattered was that the reply had arrived almost instantly.
Which meant Anastasia had definitely been reading his messages the entire time.
