Chapter 173: I Would Give You Everything (2)
“Come to think of it, I believe this is our first meeting,” Apollonia spoke softly.
Cedric approached the throne, bowed instead of lowering his head, and stared straight at Apollonia’s face as he greeted back.
“…It’s an honor to be in your presence, Your Majesty.”
“I saw you at the temple. I am very grateful for the support you showed me among the other envoys.”
Instead of answering, Cedric continued to gaze at Apollonia’s lips with a vacant expression.
“The empire will never forget the Kingdom of Rajan for its help.”
“…It wasn’t much,” Cedric replied vaguely, still looking somewhat absent-minded.
It wasn’t that he was ignoring her; he seemed unable to focus on his response. His cheeks flushed red, appearing as though he was experiencing a mix of awe and tension.
“Do you wish to say something to me?” Apollonia asked.
Whether he was nervous or simply naturally absent-minded, she had no intention of getting angry with Cedric.
