" I know I keep breaking your rules but you are not gonna punish me, right?" The emperor literally froze in his spot while looking at Magnus who asked this before slightly tending his head to the left waiting for his majesty to answer his question.
Octavius could not say anything to answer his new brodalisque's question as he was still staring at Magnus with his unreadable facial expression but his eyes were not blinking at all and he was still frozen and stunned because how this tiny movement by Magnus made his weird feeling grow bigger to the point that he got a bit scared.
After some seconds of waiting Octavius finally started normally blinking before he quietly got up and walked to the balcony with his drink in his hand and without answering Magnus who could not do anything but furrow his eyebrows in confusion because of how his majesty left the room and went to the balcony.
So the emperor is doing his best to do what his mother told him which is talking to Magnus. What do you think of that?
