Part 1: Truth or Lie; Friend or Foe

As per Ace’s command, we arrived at the imperial palace two days after we left the holy empire. I felt bad for the knights who escorted us, but I cannot oppose Ace’s command as it might endanger the empire and so do the other kingdoms if we do not interrogate Lady Lily ourselves.

“Where are you going?” Ace asked me after we got off the carriage.

“Just wait for a few seconds,” I told him, then turn around to face the knights.

“You did great, everyone… you should take a rest for 2 days,” I told them, then they shouted in excitement and thanked me.

“She’s better than you, Ace,” Grand Duke Clode said.

“Shut your mouth,” he replied as he looked at him as if he would kill the Grand Duke.

“Don’t even think about continuing your conversation… we better greet the emperor and the empress, then go straight to where Princess Lily is… I want to get this done,” I told them.

“We’re not going to,”Ace replied, then we walked towards the office of the emperor.
