Chapter 271: Arren and Spade (3)
Arren didn’t speak for a long time. He seemed to have been lost in his thoughts, or the idea of another rejection from the emperor affected him too much.
The emperor also didn’t say anything, and yet he wasn’t looking at Arren but at the table.
He wanted to ask, then, were you guilty? Why? There were a lot of whys, but it was better to keep silent. Otherwise, his feelings and grievances would pour out, and he might regret it someday.
Arren bit his lips and bowed. He swallowed with difficulty and barely said another word. Arren didn’t quite remember what he said; perhaps he said goodbye. Or there was also something else.
He was too out of it, and he found himself in the car on the way to the mansion. Looking at the outside, his vision blurred, and Arren silently sobbed.
This heartbreak... was much more painful than before.

Spade, the emperor, remained in his seat. He seemed to be lost in thoughts as he looked at the seat opposite him, where Arren was sitting only a few minutes earlier.
His expression was calm, as though nothing could make waves at him. The heavy silence was then shattered by the sound of footsteps.
"Your Majesty... Arren already left the palace." The voice of someone so close to him sounded. It was Levin, his cousin, and the Chief Guard.
