Quick transmigration: Don't Mess With The Devil(BL)

"We meet again Marquis Krishgar," Saintess Edora greeted politely.

"Thank you for your assistance Saintess. I will guide you to greet the emperor," Deon said while gesturing her to follow him.

"No need to thank me. I'm just doing what I should do as a Saintess."

Both of them walked into the palace together but was intercepted by the emperor's knight, "Please wait a moment. His Majesty is having breakfast with Count Aragon."

"Oh. It seems the emperor is having a late breakfast and what is Count Aragon doing here?" Deon asked.

"I'm sorry, I don't have any knowledge about that so I can't answer your question."

Thus the two were escorted into a guest room to wait for the emperor's summon and fortunately they didn't have to wait for too long since half an hour later, one of the emperor's aide, Sir Cedric Reinhardt came to guide them to the emperor.

"It's a pleasure to meet the Saintess for the first time," Cedric said with a polite smile.

"It's also a pleasure meeting the famous young scholar here. I've heard a lot of people talking about Sir Cedric before."

"They are just exaggerating. I'm not that great."

"No need to humble yourself too much Sir Cedric."

The two of them continue chatting while Deon decided to remain silent until they reached the emperor's office.

"The emperor still have a meeting with Count Aragon but you two can enter," Cedric informed them.

Knock knock

"Your Majesty, I brought Marquise Krishgar along with the saintess."

A moment later, a reply could be heard from the inside, "Let them in."

"Thank you for guiding us Sir Cedric. May God's blessing always be with you," Saintess Edora said.

"Thank you for the blessing Saintess," Cedric immediately walked away.

Entering the office, they could see the emperor sitting behind the desk while a man was sitting facing him, reading a stack of documents.

Deon's focus immediately went towards the man and he couldn't help but frowned when he saw a bandage on the man's neck and even on his wrists.

'I'm sure he wasn't injured yesterday despite having that much blood on his armor. So how-'

A sudden thought struck him and he immediately glanced towards the emperor.

"We pay respect towards the brightest Sun of the empire, your Majesty the emperor," Saintess Edora's voice brought Deon out from his thought.

"It's a pleasure to finally meeting the Saintess. You can go now and settle the report later," the emperor said and the man in front of him immediately stood up before getting ready to leave along with all the documents.

"It's been a while since we last met Count Aragon," the Saintess greeted.

"......." Better not get involved. You do you, I do me.

The saintess still maintain a polite friendly smile despite being ignored.

"If you please excuse me your Majesty. I will come again with the complete report. May you have a good morning your Majesty."

"Yeah sure. And the two of you please have a seat," the emperor also didn't say much.

"Thank you, your Majesty. Count Aragon seem to be working hard despite it is still morning," the Saintess said.
