While Louis was chatting with Olivia about his farm game, at the same time, in front of the main hall of the Imperial Palace.
William Sean knelt on one knee outside the hall, watching the slow opening of the emperor's chambers, momentarily lost in thought.
He came from a knight family.
His grandfather was an Iron Guard of the emperor, even granted high honors.
Naturally, he was also proud of this.
At the age of 13, he successfully became a warrior.
That day, his aging grandfather donned his uniform, groomed his hair, and took him to the Imperial Palace to meet the lord he pledged loyalty to.
Under the emperor's throne, he witnessed a scene that he would never forget.
At that time, his grandfather pleaded with the emperor to grant him the power of the Iron Guard.
The emperor refused.
He said, "He's still young, and he should have his own life."
His grandfather said nothing, just gently nudged him forward.
