And besides, Rea told him beforehand that it was the empress who asked her to change the reward inside the golden chest that he acquired after clearing the first elimination round of the competition.
"By the way, where is that girl?" Immediately asked the empress. Yman and Rea looked at each other in wonder. Perhaps who she meant is Cinde. Yman thought.
"Uhm your highness, do you mean the girl with wolf ears and red hair?"
"Fufu, yes, the Lupine girl."
Said Empress Eleanna as she giggled.
"Uhm, she was summoned to her family, your majesty."
Wow, it's a dream come true to be able to exchange a word with an empress, in person! Yman thought.
".....", "Oh, is that so?"
"Yes, your majesty," he respectfully replied.
Yman noticed the slight change in the empress's expression. She looked dejected. "Aunt, your majesty," Rea called out. Rea sounded worried. Something felt unnatural. The empress lifted her hand to say that she was fine and there was no problem.
