章 403: 403 Freedom from Restrictions

[Barnacle capital, Imperial palace: ]

Anyway, when I came back, I found Rex was handling the new paperwork along with Cathy in his office alone.

There was some tension between the two of them that they wanted to hide, a clear indication of something lewd they must have been up to before my arrival.

"W-wh-what do you mean by that?! And where did that come from all of a sudden?!"
