Chapter 383: Long-Awaited Return

Sunny morning, in the emperor's office at the Imperial Palace, Prince Edward was standing before the emperor's desk as the emperor was reading the reports that they had acquired earlier today. 

"I see. Those four have safely returned to the capital, and then Princess Louise suddenly declared she wanted Christine to be her bride." 

"So she really meant what she said that night, huh?" 

The prince said it with a stoic demeanor, which the emperor immediately noticed and bothered him. 

"Are you okay with that, Edward? It is your former fiancee we are talking about. Don't you care if she is being taken by others?" 

"I don't have any particular reason to feel that way, Father. I was the one who cut off our engagement, which meant I am letting her go and be with whoever she wants."
