Chapter 69

"Mother!"

Eckart replied slowly. He felt that his mother's bright smile was strange to him.

"Let's hurry up now. The Emperor is waiting."

Blair persuaded him kindly and pulled his arm.

When he turned his eyes a little, he saw Emperor Cassius standing at the entrance of the garden. As always, he was majestic, fluttering a golden cloak embroidered with Brenda and laurel branches. When their eyes met, he raised his hand as if he was beckoning him to come up. There was a coy smile on the emperor's face.

After hesitating a bit, Eckart took a step. His heavy steps started to move as Blair led him. Though he didn't know why, he felt he had to. He thought he should not be stubborn.

"Your Majesty!"

At that moment, he felt somebody grabbing his arms suddenly.

"Please don't go!"

He didn't know where she suddenly appeared, but the woman was crying and hanging on him.
