The next day.
The emperor was leading the meeting with his ministers in a smaller chamber before a messenger suddenly entered, whispering something to the emperor.
The emperor nodded. The messenger then exited first as Henry came in.
"Grand Tutor. How are you doing? It's rare to see you in the capital." The emperor stood up, spreading his arms.
"Your Imperial Majesty. I'm glad that you are doing well." Henry smiled before turning his head to the rest of the people. "I would like everyone to vacate the room."
The ministers were perplexed, so their gazes shifted to the emperor. Once the emperor nodded, they hurriedly exited the room.
"So, what's wrong? For you to suddenly come and ask me to vacate the room." The emperor's face turned serious. The Grand Tutor was known for his character and wisdom, so he wouldn't ask him to vacate the room without any reason.
Henry asked, "Does Your Majesty perhaps know about a group called Lantern and Candle?"
