(Arashi's POV- Third person limited)
Arashi got up and went to meet grandfather emperor as he was summoned.
Although Hiroshi just came back not a while ago, he insisted on tagging along with him. It seemed Hiroshi was also concerned about this summon.
Arashi reached the emperor's quarters as the guards announced his arrival. "Prince Rian has come."
They opened the door but stopped Hiroshi.
The emperor said, "Rian, we need to talk alone."
Arashi nodded as Hiroshi stayed behind but it was evident he was eager to know what the emperor had to say.
As Arashi's right hand man, Arashi had always discussed his plans with Hiroshi but for people they needed to pretend that Hiroshi knew nothing.
Arashi entered and saw the emperor and the empress both were there.
The empress's face was sour and she gave a displeased look at Arashi and at the emperor.
As soon as the door closed, the empress said, "Why does it have to be official?"
