Chapter 1037
“So... what brings you here?” Siegfried asked.
“Ah, I heard today was your coronation, so I came to congratulate you. Congratulations on becoming an emperor, Siegfried,” Beowulf replied with a smile.
“Thank you,” Siegfried replied with a warm, friendly smile.
But on the inside? His thoughts were the complete opposite. ‘You conniving bastard!’
Siegfried couldn't help but be filled with hostility at the fact that Beowulf had come all the way into the Proatine Kingdom, even though he was in the Holy Alliance not too long ago.
In Siegfried's eyes, Beowulf’s nonchalant attitude of pretending that nothing had happened came off as unbelievably shameless. But of course, he couldn’t show his thoughts on the outside.
Siegfried shook Beowulf’s outstretched hand and replied, “It means a lot to me that you came all the way here just to congratulate me. Thank you very much.”
“No need to thank me,” Beowulf said, waving his hand.
“I’m always grateful to you for helping me and Woo-Jin all the time,” Siegfried said with a warm smile, but his eyes were focused elsewhere.
“I was just doing what needed to be done.”
“It’s truly reassuring to have you around.”
Siegfried was smiling broadly and putting on his best act, but his gaze was sneaking glances toward Beowulf’s waist.
