311 Stop the operation

I'm tired of this selection.

I was planning to launch the event and disappear in the wind. Not to coordinate the tests, set up the secret challenges, and help his majesty woo the future Empress.

It is in part my fault. If I chose anyone else as a potential bride for the Emperor, I wouldn't need to convince her. But, at the same time, I couldn't predict it would have turned out like this.

I believe it's good for the Emperor to have a challenge to overcome, by the way. He'll value the future Empress a bit more if he sweats to get her attachment.

«I've talked with the girl,» I say to his majesty.

We're having lunch together for the second time in a few days. And it's again in front of the window.

As far as I know, Emperors don't have the luxury to eat every day at the same time. But I've never failed at spotting Lorene somewhere in plain view at the right moment.
