บท 258: 258: An important meeting

"Grand Duke, you are awake? You never wake up this early! Is everything alright? Are you sick? Should I go and request a doctor to come and visit you? Are you…alright?"

The aide asked as he watched the Grand Duke getting ready before the day had started.

His panic caused the Grand Duke to look amused. But it was clear that he had a purpose for waking up this early and getting ready.

The clothes he was wearing were also ceremonial robes that were worn when one was meeting with a higher-up.

There were only so many people in this empire that could cause the Grand Duke to behave like this.

"I will leave in a few minutes to meet with the emperor. I will trust you to take care of this place for me until then. Do you think you will be able to manage without me?"

The Grand Duke asked, and the aide suddenly felt touched by his concern. He had not expected the Grand Duke to even care about him.
