Charles and His Darling Little Cousin

The sound of carriages entering the Lantern Palace took the servants by storm. Never were in their dreams, that Emperor Leopold would visit the Lantern Palace. He was a controversial king, but there were some people who still worshipped him, just like they worshipped every golden blood.

Camille was standing in the main hall, holding Aster's hand. Aster innocently stared at many carriages who parked under the lush dome. The carriages were lavish with real gold ornaments and when the guard opened the door, a man around his fifty came out with a boy older than Aster.

They approached Camille and Aster and then hugged Camille, "My daughter, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

Camille froze at this moment, because she didn't expect his ever powerful father to suddenly hug her and apologized. She didn't even know what he was apologizing for.
