The air was different.
It had been like this when he met the Empress Dowager as well, but the mood in the area was different.
He could clearly feel that everybody was keeping even their breathing quiet.
Cale stood up straight again.
“You are not showing proper respect.”
The unfamiliar voice made Cale look to the right.
The Emperor and the Empress Dowager seated in front…
They did not speak.
It was the Palace Guard serving them who spoke.
“…….”
Cale made eye contact with the Palace Guard.
The man, who seemed to be middle-aged, seemed to be the Emperor’s personal guard, as he was the most heavily armed in this room.
Of course, he was not alone.
‘How entertaining.’
This big area looked as if it could be used for large and important meetings.
This was probably the largest room in the entire Moonflower Palace.
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor were seated at the end of the room. They were on a slightly higher platform.
Palace Guards were stationed beneath them on both sides of a red carpet.
There were some eunuchs and court ladies as well, but anybody would see that this was a situation that would feel different from normal.
Cale quietly looked at the Palace Guard.
‘He doesn’t seem to be one of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. Maybe he is a General?’
As he had that thought… The Palace Guard spoke again.
“You should kneel when looking at the sky.”
Cale quietly listened to what the man had to say.
The man continued to speak despite Cale’s obvious stare.
“His Majesty said that you may raise your head. However, you were never told that you could stand up.”
The corners of Cale’s lips curled up.
He looked at the Palace Guard and responded.
“Your Majesty, oh esteemed Empress Dowager, is this your decision?”
The Palace Guard’s eyebrows rose up.
Cale didn’t care as he didn’t want to lose time to an opponent who wanted to do some stupid gauge of strength.
He needed to quickly find Choi Jung Soo and take on the Blood Cult.
He had no time to deal with such obvious schemes.
Cale looked toward the Empress Dowager. The old man called Gramps, and Chief Eunuch Wi who were standing at the bottom of her platform… They didn’t look too good.
“Did you just dare to address her Majesty?”
The Palace Guard took a step forward and raised his voice toward Cale.
Cale looked at the Empress Dowager at that moment. He then extended his hand to the side.
“Don’t move.”
Choi Han, who was about to step forward, stopped moving after seeing Cale’s hand.
Only Choi Han, Sui Khan, and the invisible Raon were next to Cale right now.
