The Empress forcefully extended her slightly warm hand into your embrace, groping about wildly!
"Hey, hey, what are you touching!"
True to the Empress's nature, she ignored your protests. Out of nowhere, her hand suddenly gave a fierce pinch at your waist!

Before you could speak, the Empress snapped back at you, demanding, "Where is the Silk book?"
"In my pocket."
While you were still drawing breaths of cold air, and as the Empress prepared to reach for it herself, you, with the speed of lightning, snatched the Silk book from your pocket and handed it to her, saying, "Here's the Silk book for you!"
The Empress glared at you coldly and finally let you go.
Only after the Empress had opened the Silk book did she scrutinize it with a very serious demeanor. She then looked up at you and asked, "Did you discern anything from within?"
