Bab 456: The Naked Emperor (5/5)

****(POV)

This...

There had been so many clues. All had been at the edge of my perception. All things I was somehow remembering now. 

When I started taking action to make everyone's lives better, my people became even more zealous. But they weren't vocal about it at all. They had been extremely low-key. I loved to simply walk around the city, and they treated me as one of them. 

Apparently, they thought I was shy for some reason. There had been lots of misunderstandings between us it seemed. 

I truly had been putting a barrier between me and the world all this time. I had been looking at it all through tinted glasses. All this time I had been a blind fool, really. 

Now, why was I suddenly understanding all this? Well, it was all part of the process.
