Bab 130: The Reception at the Imperial Palace VI

"Your greatness is unmatched, great sun of Xetraria. You have granted me the privilege of choosing my own reward, and thanks to that, I have fulfilled my dream of possessing Sigrid, the Dragon Slayer. From this day forward, I shall proclaim far and wide how benevolent and generous you are. I also swear never to turn my back on any misfortune that may befall your people in my presence."

Silence!

Lilith ended her speech, plunging the reception hall into a profound silence. All the guests at the celebration were now fixated on the Emperor of Xetraria's every move.

Would he truly offer Sigrid to Adall, or would he go back on his word?

The answer came swiftly. With a smile as forced as Lilith's earlier bow, the emperor spoke.
