"What are you saying?"
"What's up with a sudden decision?" Saying this, Kael started to remember his interaction with Martina. His brows pulled together as he replayed everything in his head.
'I don't remember sending any wrong signals to her…'
'Fuck… And she is going to be Empress on top of it…'
For a moment, Kael felt his stomach twist. A cold shiver ran down his spine because the thought dug deeper than he liked to admit. His expression distorted as if he was about to lose his mind.
Seeing that look, Ramos already understood what Kael was thinking. He let out a quiet sigh, then spoke calmly.
"She isn't going to be Empress."
"….."
Kael slowly looked at him, irritation rising. "Old man… Talking to you is injurious for the health of a heart patient. Now what the fuck is this? Can you explain first?"
Ramos grinned when he saw Kael's expression. He was clearly enjoying this more than he should. His tired face even brightened for a second.
"She rejected it."
