Alex closed his lips and stared at the Emperor's expression.
He could see a large grin on his face and tilted his head with a confused look.
'Why do I feel that he is enjoying the situation? Am I hallucinating?'
'Maybe he is thinking about a cruel punishment and wasn't able to control his excitement a few imagining my miserable end,' Alex muttered nodding his head.
The Emperor turned his head and spoke, "What do the court officials think about this?"
"I would like to hear your opinion."
The court officials put down their heads like frightened mice.
They have just seen The Emperor agreeing to Alex's request and now asking for their opinion about punishing him.
No one wanted to take the risk and speak something on this matter which may be used against them later.
If it was anyone else, they were sure that he would be killed on their spot but not only did the Emperor not look angry, he didn't even scold or reprimanded Alex.
