Contrary to what she had remembered, now, only a very long table was prepared.

Just like an ordinary dining room.

‘No, it’s not ordinary.’

After all, it’s the Imperial Palace.

Aria thought as she looked at the white tablecloth, luxurious candlesticks studded with jewels, and countless empty chairs and utensils. It was really well decorated like a dining room.

“What are you doing standing there? Come on, sit down.”

The Emperor, who sat at the top of the table, gestured to them to come.

Dozens of escort knights and servants following the Emperor were lined up along the wall. A breathtakingly solemn atmosphere. All of the servants had expressionless faces, as if they were wearing masks.

Somehow, Aria felt an indescribable strange feeling in all these scenes.

‘I’m sure I remember there was a circle engraved on the floor here.’

Aria followed the handmaid to the table and sat down, then she sniffed the white tablecloth with her nose. Again, as she remembered, there was a magic circle. Originally, it was a room made for engraving this.

It was a magic that amplifies the effect regardless of the type of energy.

‘I’m sure you’re trying to do a trick.’

It was obvious, but for some reason Aria didn’t feel like running away right away. Because, no matter how hard she tried, the effect of her singing would also be strong.

‘Well, I don’t know if they can stop all my songs or not.’

Lloyd was right next to her. Whatever the Emperor may do, Lloyd can stop everything.

‘No, in the first place, what the hell was he trying to do with Lloyd…… ?’

She can’t even imagine. There was no sense of crisis.

Before Lloyd came to the Imperial Palace, he said, ‘even if he tied me up, we would die together.’

The Emperor could neither imprison, punish, nor kill Lloyd. If the Emperor touched Lloyd the wrong way, there would be chaos in the world and the Emperor would die.

‘…… I don’t know.’

How could she not know what the Emperor was thinking?

Aria told Lloyd about this. Through the wedding ring artifact that only the two of them can talk to.

– Be careful. I’m not sure exactly, but I think he’s trying to use some kind of magic on Lloyd.

She didn’t know that this wedding ring could be used in such a situation.

Apparently, Lloyd had foresight.

– What? Magic?

– It’s a room with amplification magic.

Then Lloyd looked at her as if how in the world did she know that? Aria asked if it matters now, and she shrugs her shoulders unnoticed.

– I’ll tell you later.

Well, this time, it seemed like he didn’t want to just pass it by. Obviously, it was some kind of Imperial secret.

Aria nodded her head.

Then Lloyd added one more word, to make sure she was worried for nothing.

– I’m not blaming you.

You were worried.
