Chapter 73: Not Stone-hearted

"It's my pleasure, Your Majesty."

"I didn't mean to order you around as well. I was just allowed to make you teleport me since I have His Majesty's permission. I didn't mean to order you around as if I am Ferdinand."

[Hmph. What is she apologizing for after she already ordered us around? It's not like she can take back her orders after we already obeyed.]

'He really doesn't hold back, doesn't he?'

"It's alright. I am His Majesty's mage so his Empress can also give me orders. As long as it's not unreasonable, I will also follow your orders."
