Meanwhile, far away from the empire, Rufus leaned his side against the tree in a vast garden. Right now, he was attending the world summit — a gathering of sovereigns from empires to the king of smaller kingdoms. It was his first time attending such a gathering since Samael retired earlier than they calculated.
"Your Majesty, your people will look for you if you stay outside for too long." Rufus glanced over his shoulder after hearing Dominique's voice from behind the tree. "I'm just concerned since you nearly went head to head with the emperor of Haimirich Empire."
"That man's virulent tongue deserves to be cut," Rufus stressed, eyes glinting as he recalled what happened earlier today.
