Chapter 779: Second meeting

Alex and the others arrived at the majestic-looking palace. They were directed into the throne hall where the emperor was waiting.

''Welcome the Black Prince and his companions. Congratulations to lady Sakuya. I've never doubted that you'll succeed; still, you amazed me.'' The emperor started with flattery. 

Alex and the others bowed their heads and took seats across from the emperor. Sakuya ignored the emperor's flattery; she did not need such a thing.
