Lesser Demon’s Black Pearl

While I was in the capital letting the guards know that Romanov was getting closer, the empress introduced me to her younger sister, the princess of the Droman Empire.

She resembled the empress a lot, with the same golden hair and red eyes, but the empress looked much stronger and commanding while the princess seemed more reserved.

Nonetheless, I didn't have much time for idle chatter, so after I quickly introduced myself to her, I accompanied the imperial guards at the gate.

I could feel Vespera getting closer, which meant that Romanov and his right-hand man were near.

During our wait, I asked the empress if she knew something about Copper, Romanov's assistant, telling her that he seemed a bit more intelligent than his boss.

The empress wasn't aware of the man's identity, but the princess interjected, saying she knew.
