The Kaiser's Kindness

A few more days passed, and Itami had been directly avoiding Berengar during this time. Despite the overwhelming size of the Kaiser's palace, it was impossible to avoid the man forever. Thus, Itami was quite surprised when she saw the man sprinting down the halls with an anxious expression on his face. 

If there was one major fault Itami had, it was never knowing when to give up on her curiosity, and thus she swiftly followed the man through the halls, wondering what could have gotten him so panicked. In the end, she found Berengar running into a bedroom, where a beautiful woman lay on a mattress with a wet towel over her forehead. 

This woman was obviously not German. One could easily tell by the color of her skin that she was not of European descent. However, when her amber eyes caught a sight of Berengar's entrance, a warm smile appeared on her gorgeous face.
