Chapter 1117: If I was in your place

"Greetings, Young Lord Chronos. Welcome to the Empire!" The minister stepped out and reached out his hand to welcome the special guest.

Chronos glanced at the Minister's outstretched hand, but didn't reach out. After a few seconds, the Minister awkwardly retracted his hand.

"Shall we get going?" he asked Chronos, not getting offended by the young man's show of utter disrespect. And even if he was offended, he couldn't show it outright.

Karyk's gaze swept over the assembled guards and the two Ministers, lingering for a fraction of a second on the Angelic Prince before returning to the Minister.

"I trust my arrival hasn't caused too much of a disruption?" he asked, noticing quite a few familiar faces, especially in the distance.

He was well aware of the stir his presence was creating. The elaborate welcome and the sheer number of guards, made it clear that the Empire was cautious.
