64 I Will Tell You What I Want What I Really Really Want

The three elders were at a loss for words, staring at me like I have grown another head. Ezekiel was slightly smirking as he slowly shook his head.

The Emperor with the most inexpressive face I have seen in my whole life leaned back on his throne.

'I wonder if His Majesty knows how to laugh? I am incredibly curious…'

"2 weeks would set the empire into disarray. But I can give you a week," he offered.

'That is much better than I had thought of…'

"I thank His Imperial Majesty for his benevolence," I remarked and gave a curtsy for the second time.

"Leon, you are given a one-week leave. You are not to get involved with anything relating to politics within that allotted time. You are not to work at home either," he declared and then turned to me in a query, "Is that what you want?"

My brows raised in astonishment for a moment before I slightly nodded, "Yes, your majesty."

"Then it is settled," he announced.
