‘Love may not have a place in the weddings of this world, but wouldn’t it be happier to marry the one for you? I think so, too…’ Her thoughts trailed off as she finally reached the church’s door, but her gaze was still on Larkin’s face. ‘You have always been trying your best to create a better world for everyone. I wonder if you’re looking for someone you’d want to actually share your whole life with… with tons of political benefit or none...’ “I’ll find the person who’d make you happy...” Artie whispered while staring at the archduke and standing on his left, but Larkin only deepened his smile. “It’s not yet the time for wedding vows, Artie.” ...

Actually, he didn't have to. The Black Kodiak had come fetch him because the emperor was actually inspecting the shroud. Larkin just didn't want to take Artie with him so he would get to hear the emperor's true thoughts about the matter. He wasn't even surprised that even Alfora was with him.
If he—a demon descendant—had felt it, there was no way the real demons wouldn't. It was probably that Achlys was Albas's territory, and that was why the other demon emperors wouldn't respond to this. Moreover, it could also be that everyone else was away that only Albas and Alfora came. It didn't matter. As long as it was safe to speak, Larkin would come and see them.
"Larkin." The two demons greeted him as he arrived on the Black Kodiak's back. He dismounted the demon spirit and walked towards them. Albas spoke first, "You seem to be looking for trouble once more? What is this madness this time? Perhaps you have an explanation that you will not regret speaking of."
