Chapter 769: To Act More Freely
Ferdinand then sent Riley with their guests for him to bring back the items with him.
"We are forever grateful to Your Majesty for making this possible," their guests bowed.
Princess Seraphina and her companions repeatedly thanked Arabella before departing.
Riley teleported them back to their previous locations.
With their guests gone, it was also time for them to retire.
Their discussions with the delegates from Crux had been more productive than they thought so they spent hours without realizing it.
Moreover, though they were also initially concerned about Arabella’s safety due to the risks it entailed, they gave her a lot of praise for making tonight’s venture possible through her prior meeting with Princess Seraphina.
"You all did well. Keep this meeting a secret for now. We will talk about this more later. You are all dismissed," Ferdinand praised before making everyone leave.
They left feeling satisfied since they were praised by Ferdinand and likewise had a productive day despite working overtime.
"You did well too," Ferdinand complimented Arabella too. "I am proud you are my empress."
It was a compliment from him as an Emperor. And somehow, it felt different from all the praises he gives her as her lover.
