End of The Founding Ball pt. 4

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, Crown Prince! What is the situation outside?"

"Is everything alright, your highness?"

Ahh… Ezekiel had returned.

The royal faction who were discussing the situation with themselves ever since earlier had come forward as soon as Ezekiel appeared. After all, the emperor confirmed that Ezekiel was with the knights that went to check up on that explosion.

Ezekiel seemed to be surprised from being hogged all of a sudden when he just arrived. His face mirrored it all and it was hilarious. Seeing him break character like that… Heh~ 

Anyway, Ezekiel hushed them down which they immediately did so they could listen to whatever he's going to report. He turned towards the swarm of people expectantly waiting for some clarification. His usual smile was back, and those who saw it felt optimistic, but not me.

When he's like that, it's either he is lying or it is a bother for him.
