"After so many years of not having to remember our existence, how does it feel to meet old friends?" the man said laconically.

"What... What are you trying to achieve by coming here?!"
"Oh, don't be so upset," Serpens smiled. "I just came to deliver a gift to Your Majesty."
"A gift...?" the emperor asked in a trembling voice.
"It's your birthday today, isn't it?"
"....."
