Chương 28: Episode 28...

Anselme followed after his master and mistress to the palace gardens after making her shadow guard sleep as per his master's instructions, leaving his unconscious body in the meeting room.

When Anselme arrived at the gardens, he found his master, standing in the middle of the rose garden. His back was facing him and in his arms, an unconscious Scarlet Rose lay there, sleeping peacefully.

Anselme approached them and knelt to greet his lord and master. Afterwards, he pressed his fist to his heart and said; "This subordinate greets, your majesty."

"Hmn." Jasper's cold emotionless face didn't twitch a single muscle. He simply nodded his head and hummed in response, not even giving Anselme a side long glance to acknowledge his presence.

Anselme wasn't bothered by his master's lack of response. He was already used to it. His master's attitude towards him has always been cold.
