The situation in the imperial palace of Cedore was quite light and pleasant. Apart from the Emperor and Empress along with Crown Prince Andres, Orius and Valerie were also there. Emperor Kalos invited them to have a family dinner.
Well, if they hear Iria's situation and what happened in Qalagon, things will be surely different.
"Valerie, is Orius good to you? Tell me if he doesn't treat you well. I will teach him a lesson." Emperor Kalos briefly looked at Orius as he talked and the young Duke frowned at him.
"He's very good to me, Your Majesty," Lady Valerie said with a little smile. "Until a while ago, I never know that the Duke can be very playful. It's always fun to be with him."
Crown Prince Andres almost choked when he heard the Duchess. "Are you sure about that? He's practically a stone!"
Orius sighed at his cousin's remark. "How can you say that? Didn't we always team up to get Iria? Why am I a stone now?"
