"It was forced out of me. In the Imperial Court, you must learn to smile; a smile can fill your allies with confidence and leave your enemies uncertain." Emperor Carl Franz relaxed slightly as he had obtained the intelligence he wanted. He turned his gaze to Laine, "Lord Laine, sometimes I feel it's such a pity. You understand, the Empire is your true home."
"I already have a home." Laine smiled and embraced his wife's slender waist, "This is my home."
"Ah, back then when we met briefly in Mijordenhaven, it caused me much regret that such an outstanding warrior was taken by the Knight Kingdom. Actually, with your feats, I could also grant you the title of Count," the Emperor said regretfully, shaking his head.
