When I woke up the next morning, I took a mont to sit in bed and gather my thoughts.
After a mont of just sitting there, I let out a sigh.
That was because today was the day that I was getting a royal audience.
I had heard about this from the stuffed bunny yesterday.
Speaking of which, it was still hard to believe that the stuffed bunny was our boss…
When I was taught on how to address the stuffed bunny, he had told vehently to just call him boss like everyone else. However, when we were leaving, Scar told that his unofficial codena was actually Boss Bunny.
I almost burst out in laughter when I heard that.
But to co back from that digression, when we had left, Boss Bunny had said that we should be careful at the royal audience tomorrow since it wouldn't just be the king that would be eting us.
There would be several ministers and generals that would also be at the audience.
From what he had heard, they would bring up the topic of the elves while at this audience since they were the ones that were most affected by this.
They had many concerns regarding the elves that they wanted solved and the best person to solve these concerns was naturally the one who had contact with the elves. So it was certain that they would try to talk to about this during the royal audience.
They would even try to use the pressure of his majesty to try to get to go along with what they wanted.
But Boss Bunny wanted to be careful about this since this would be in front of his majesty.
If I made a mistake, it wouldn't be bad just for . If I made a mistake, this mistake would reflect on everyone that I was connected to.
That included the Shadow Garden organization and even Baroness Rose who was my wife.
For a baron like , it would be easy for his majesty to take care of us…
So he wanted to be careful.
But of course, I knew that he was mainly thinking about Shadow Garden.
Still, I wouldn't let anyone that was important to be hard because of this.
Thinking about it, I couldn't help giving a sigh again.
This kind of thing wasn't just in this world, even the world that I had co from had this kind of culture. Whoever had offended the emperor would always suffer heavy consequences.
It was like treading in front of a sleeping tiger when standing in front of a ruler.
I just hoped that I would be able to get through this without any harm.
After taking so ti to gather myself, I went down to have my breakfast.
As I had expected, there were nobles that were already waiting there for us.
So of these nobles were the sa as the ones that I had seen yesterday and so of the ones that were here were new faces. The ones that were sitting at my table today were new faces that I hadn't seen before.
Before we sat down, Scar told who they were.
They were nobles that were under the third and sixth prince.
When I heard this, I couldn't help giving a sigh of relief.
There was one prince that I didn't want to deal with, so as long as I didn't encounter the subordinates of that person, I didn't have anything to worry about. That was because once I got involved with that person…I would be pulled into a very tedious battle.
At the sa ti, I knew what that person's endga was, so it was impossible for us to beco friends.
This was all because of the knowledge that I had gained from the ga.
These two nobles naturally tried to convince to et their masters, but they quickly backed down when I said that I would be having a royal audience today.
The mont that they heard this, they imdiately left their gifts and excused themselves.
It seed that everyone feared his majesty, it wasn't just .
This was both a good sign and a bad sign.
The good part of it was that I could use the excuse of an audience with his majesty to avoid eting the nobles. The bad part of it was that this ant that his majesty was soone that was worthy of being feared like this…
So would I be able to survive today?
Once we finished our al, we headed to the royal palace.
Instead of taking the secret entrance, we went through the main entrance this ti since this was an official royal audience.
After arriving at the palace, we were imdiately welcod by one of the butlers of the palace.
When Shaka and Scar saw this person, they couldn't help being surprised.
Seeing the inquisitive look that I had on my face, Scar explained, "This person is Sebastien, the head butler of the castle." Then in a lower voice, he said, "He is soone who has been with his majesty since his majesty was the crown prince and is said to be one of the people closest to him. He is not soone that one can look down on."
I couldn't help looking carefully at this butler called Sebastien.
He was the perfect example of a butler.
This was an old man who still had a sharp look in his eyes even if his hair was graying. He stood tall and straight in his butler uniform, without a single bit of slouching, showing that he was a powerful man.
He was definitely not soone that could be looked down on.
Since soone like him was even sent to greet us, just how much importance did his majesty put on this matter?
Or was it because of sothing else that he sent soone as important as this to greet us?
I couldn't help feeling that this matter definitely wasn't as simple as it seed.
