The Dog With Questions

"So, what is it you want to know about me?"

"Now that I'm being honest with you let's start being honest with each other. I know you were inside that old house with the former Die Meisterin, so let's start with the obvious, tell me really how did you end up there?"

Is this what he wants to know about? 

I looked at him unfazed before answering.

"I wanted to be met with the best of the best! The current Die Meisterin is a fraud; he can't even do his work right! I want to know about my love life, riches, future, and dumb stuff like that."

"And so, you tracked down the former Die Meisterin? You know, the forest you were in was deep, it's hazardous and known for its "ghosts' and "ghouls," but hey, who even believes in that stuff?"

Kaiserin started to go further from me to the letter on his desk.

"Liselotte, this might be random, but let's get married."

"Wait, what?" I couldn't hide my surprise at his sudden proposal.

The sudden change in the topic, especially the topic of marriage, left me utterly confused. What is he thinking?

Kaiserin laughed at my confusion before adding more context to his sudden statement.

"I figured out, I want to observe you more, and with the Empress after you, I could protect and observe you. I see it's a win-win situation. You'll finally get the position you were after all along."

"You're kidding, right?" I couldn't help but express my disbelief at his proposal.
