"The former emperor is dead?"
I asked, baffled. Roxy just stared at him with her mouth open in shock.
Grey nodded bitterly as he asked the agent standing outside to bring another chair.

I asked, narrowing my eyes. For some reason, my body started feeling heavy, but it was a minor issue so I ignored it.

"No, there's no doubt that your dad was the culprit."
"E-eh?"
I was surprised for a moment... But then remembered how dad had acted when he was rescuing me.
That strong, determined personality... I could definitely see dad doing it now that I thought about it.
"Ugh... This makes things harder, doesn't it?"
