Chapter 353. Just Accept It (3)
Caron received the communication orb directly linked to the emperor from Leon and immediately activated it. But something was strange. Normally, the moment one infused it with mana, a voice should have come through.

"Truly, Your Majesty, you're quite the devoted lover," Caron said dryly.
