Sir Gradral bowed once again. "Eternal blessings upon the Empire of Wisteria."
Once the Emperor was finally alone, he leaned back in his large wingback chair and held onto his forehead. Oh, how he wished the princess would show up herself so he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble because of her.
