For The Glory Of Sitia Empire - Chapter 105
” I want to go home….”
” you think we are here because we want to?! ”
” Please shut up, I am trying to fight the thought of fleeing this instant ”
At the throne hall, a bunch of officials gathered for the morning court with faces full of black lines. Although it was already past afternoon, it was only moved from 9 am to 5 pm, since the crown prince would rather the Empire collapse than to wake up early morning.
Just when everyone was about to burst a nerve or something, the gourd at the door announced Lennox’s arrival. They immediately bowed to him while occasionally stealing few glances.
‘ not in his pyjama, is he in a good mood? ‘
Lennox walked across the hall, followed by the two servants, and sat on the Emperor’s throne. Normally, this could be counted as an offensive act against the Emperor’s prestige, however, Jennings doesn’t give a shit and Lennox only chose to sit on it because the Emperor’s throne is wider than the crown prince’s and he can lay there comfortably. Plus, since no one had the gut to tell off Lennox, this matter was ignored.
” You may raise “, Lennox said lightly. As his eyes wandered on the people down the platform, he spotted a certain someone.
” Nicholai ”
From the crowd emerged a middle-aged man with shining golden hair, the type that pierces right through Lennox’s eyes. Nicholai bowed to him, saying flawlessly.
” What can this servant do for your highness? ”
Lennox bluntly said:” get out ”
‘ ????!!!! ‘
Nicholai was speechless for a moment but he quickly managed to pull himself together, urgently inquiring.
” Your highness, if this humble self has offended you by any means I- ”
” No”, Lennox indifferently interrupted, ” you did nothing. I just find you an eyesore ”
“….”
With that, Nicholai was shooed out of the imperial court, which made the other officials more nervous. They hadn’t even started and someone was already kicked out? Was there any hope for them?
” So, who goes first? ”
Everyone exchanged a glance with the ones next to them. Of course, no one would want to be the first, that’s asking for humiliation. At last, Fletcher decided to become the scapegoat for today, at least they were on good terms so Lennox wouldn’t be hard on him. He stepped forward and handed a file to one of the assistants who passed it to Lennox.
” Your highness, following the Emperor’s will, we have investigated the duty performance and financial routs of Sitia knighthood’s order. Unfortunately, illegal activities and misuse of authority have spotted for which Commander Harold was confronted and uphold for justice ”
That was not an unexpected event, everyone at the hall had already heard once or twice about Commander Harold’s misdeeds, such an ending would have occurred sooner or later. As they were whispering between each other, Lennox kept reading the detailed report. Once he finished with it, he passed it back to the assistant and looked at Fletcher with his forever indifferent face.
” oh, dear cousin. Why did your capabilities shrink like this in a few months? Is it because you are married and don’t have the energy for any other shit? Take it easy, you have a lifetime to bang around, be more serious about your work ”
Fletcher: “…..”
Everyone: “…..”
Honestly, Fletcher couldn’t refute. He indeed been going on it like a rabbit in heat and wouldn’t stop until Catherine cries from being sour….BUT HOW DID LENNOX KNOW????!!!
Lennox continued after a pause:” Well, then go back and redo this one. It is not only Commander Harold, as I want to see no less than a hundred others are to be waiting for punishment in prison by the time you report this again ”
“….”
‘ That’s it??!!! Nothing more?!! You won’t sarcastically explain how stupid my ideas are??! Or make me copy Holy scripts for my sloppy work??? WHAT KIND OF GOOD MOOD ARE YOU IN?!!!!! ‘
Seeing that Lennox let go of Fletcher so easily, all those officials swarmed to report first and leave as quickly as possible. Well, there were some who got unlucky and pissed him off, overall, this day ended peacefully. Just as he was heading back to his study, Walter spoke to him in a low voice.
” My lord, Princess Teneale and her companions has arrived in the palace ”
Lennox nodded slightly, he turned to the two servants walking ten meters away, saying.
” Go to the kitchen, tell them to bring some tea and dessert to my study, I have guests arriving shortly. Also, tell the workers at the stables to bring that wyvern down the terrace of my study ”
The two servants bowed and instantly fled.
Lennox returned to his room and lifted the spell on Everly. Soon enough, she slowly opened her eyes in a daze.
” Finally awake? Go wash up and change your clothes, Augy is here ”
” Augy…..the pretty person? ”
” Yes that’s him ”
All the sleepiness disappeared at once. Everly quickly jumped off the bed and ran to the bathroom, few minutes later she came out drenched with water from head to toe and made Lennox help her with the disastrous process of changing clothes.
At that time, the two servants knocked on the door saying from outside:” your highness, your guests have arrived, we led them to your study ”
With that, Everly instantly bolted to Lennox’s study. In there were three individuals, two were good looking but not her taste, while the last one was so to her liking she was about to tear up. Completely outshone the other two who now looked like jellyfish people.
A black straight hair with a gorgeous glow of red, elegant eyebrows with a luring high curve at the end, a charming shadow of light at the corner of his sharp eyes, and most importantly the attractive aroma of pure fire.
If she isn’t mistaken- no, she could never mistake him, she had always heard about such fascinating people from her master. There is no mistake, this person is for sure
A Phoenix descended!
