Imperium Star's Main Palace,
In the Throne Room...
Those who remained after the majority of the aristocratic leaders had left were mostly those who worked for the reigning emperor. These are also the government representatives who opposed keeping Imperium Star's monarchy in place. believing that since the sole actual royal blood is no longer interested in the throne, there is no need to maintain the monarchy. They felt bad for not shielding the young prince from the Noble Faction's poisoning. Emperor Cale motions for the butlers to bring two seats for Adjutant Kir von Giselle and Duke Claudius von Gretel, but the latter decides to seat only Duke Gretel.
Adjutant Kir von Giselle said, "Please do not mind me."
"Do speak freely, Your Majesty." Duke Claudius von Gretel said while sitting on the chair prepared for him. He had no problem sitting in the presence of the Emperor.
