Chapter 162: The Story Of Yin And The Fox Guardian {10}
"What do you mean someone calls to your Dark Grimoire, my liege?" Bartholomew, his royal adviser asked with broad eyes, he couldn’t believe his ears. He knew his Emperor possessed one of the greatest Dark Grimoires in history gifted to him by Basker when he learned everything about magic in the Holy Library.
A parting gift it was called. His Emperor was the first and last magical being who ever set foot in the Holy Library, no one has achieved what he has, which only makes him more great.
"You heard me the first time," Nicklaus said still focusing on the scrolls on the table, but he was having a hard time concentrating because this aura he felt unnerved him, it wasn’t hostile but weak and fading almost like it was dying and yet it sought his Dark Grimoire. Nicklaus knew holding one of the most powerful Grimoires will make him a target for magical creatures who strives for the power he wields, but no one was ever foolish enough to cross paths with him they wouldn’t dare.
And yet ’someone’ dares to?
It unnerved him and now he has lost all concentration on his work.
"What will you do, My liege? This could prove as a threat"
"Well I can just get rid of it, simple, it won’t be hard to trace this aura"
Bartholomew tensed at his words. "Y-You know the Empress doesn’t like it when you act irrational, my liege, perhaps you could figure out why this person decides to call for it?"
"Are you inferring that I act without reason?" Nicklaus said with clenched teeth.
"N-No my liege!" he froze as the air suddenly grew colder, it was already too cold, and the weather didn’t make it any better. He knew he shouldn’t do anything to make the Emperor lose balance with his emotions, the Empress was away on work with the Prince and Princess, and it was already aggravating him.
"Are you perhaps taking out your anger on me because of the Empress’s absence?" he pointed. Because Nicklaus has been acting hostile since this morning and it has never been colder.
