Saying embarrassing words in front of other people, doesn't he ever get flustered with himself? There are instances, Emelia would admire Elliot for being too bold. But this time, it was too much. She decided to keep him waiting by not answering him. She just stared at his golden eyes and did not look away.
Her plan was to let Elliot realize how embarrassing he could be. But then Elliot doesn't get embarrassed as much as others do. He didn't mind wearing his nightwear going out, but his image as an emperor is important.
But then Elliot raised his brow, knowing her plans, he asked, "What? Perhaps the Princess left me hanging intentionally?" He chuckled, leaving her confused. It's not like she's a mind reader or what.
