章節 707: ROYAL SCANDAL (2)

[Last night…]

TO SAY that Hanna was surprised when the esteemed guests her mother mentioned turned out to be Emperor Nikolai and Lady Mona Roseheart.

She thought the guests were bad people because of how pale her mother was.

[But I can understand why Mother is nervous. After all, it's not every day you'd see Emperor Nikolai and Lady Mona having tea in our private drawing room.]

Even Hanna was nervous.

[Neoma didn't mention that her parents are returning today…]

"Good evening, Emperor Nikolai, Lady Mona," Hanna said while bobbing a curtsy and greeting the royal couple politely. "Welcome back."

"You don't have to be so formal, Hanna," Emperor Nikolai said. "I'm no longer the emperor. You can just call me 'Uncle' since you're my niece anyway."

Hanna was flustered by the emperor's request, hence she wasn't able to respond immediately.
