Chapter 142

Night has fallen on the Oberg Empire.

*Rattle*

A fierce wind whipped up, rattling the windows violently. The Head Maid turned to stare at the moon outside the window.

All the windows in the palace were open. Quietly, she rose from her seat, grabbed a lantern, and left the room.

*Thud*

*Thud*

The sound of footsteps echoed through the rattling of the windows.

Walking down the deserted hallway, the Head Maid stood in front of the massive door to the Throne Room. She peeked inside through the small slit.

A red carpet stretched down the hall.

At the end of it, someone sat on a throne. She couldn't make out who it was, but the person was hunched over with both hands covering their face.

There was only one person who would be like that at this hour.

The Emperor of the Empire, a drunken, inebriated man.

"Your Majesty?"

Despite the head maid's call, the man on the throne didn't stir.

*Whirring!*
