Mirage City
Sam is inside a plain-looking room within the Imperial Palace. He sat on a chair and is looking at the room's décor, which is too plain to be a room within the imperial palace.
Soon, the emperor came in and Sam greeted him with a small bow.
"No need for formalities." The emperor gestured and offered him a seat.
"Why did you call me your grace?" Sam went straight to the point without beating around the bush.
"I want to tell you something regarding your issue. The minister is not the culprit."
"I know."
"Then who do you think might be the culprit?"
"Someone close to your Majesty."
The Emperor sighed and said.
"Yes, it is my daughter Luna. She was led astray by her mother and someone else manipulated her and made a move against you. No matter how just and fair I am I couldn't bring myself to punishing my daughter in public. I don't want her to suffer the life of shame and resentment."
