Lorcan bombarded Sirius with endless questions. It was only natural that he would react this way because he had never once met someone from the Zervian Empire. In fact, he did not know the looks of the people who lived there.
"I came out of the territory of the Zervian Empire to look for the whereabouts of someone," Sirius replied.
Lorcan let out a long breath.
"Then why did you get so badly injured like that? Is it possible that you were chased by someone?"
"There were a series of unexpected events when I traveled outside the imperial territory. I was wounded because there was an enemy who was eyeing my life. Sorry for entering your territory without any notice."
Sirius bowed to show his sincere apology. He felt uneasy having troublesome both Andressa and Lorcan.
"You don't have to apologize. I thought you were an intruder because in recent times there have been a number of problems at Emilian. Then where is your personal knight? Did you go out alone?"
Lorcan felt confused at once not finding anyone beside Sirius. An emperor should not be allowed to travel alone without someone beside him.
"My branch is separated from me in the middle of the road. I hope they are still alive today. A little sorry I left them when there was an enemy coming to attack."
"Alright, I understand your situation. I'll take you to the palace. After all, you are the leader of other regions" Lorcan said.
"Yes, I'll go to your palace later."
On that day, Lorcan immediately brought Sirius to the palace upon Andressa's permission after confirming once again Sirius' condition. Fortunately, there was no danger to Sirius' body.
Arriving at the palace, Sirius invited Lorcan to speak four eyes back. There was something that made him curious about earlier.
"What do you want to talk about?" ask Lorcan.
They were talking in Lorcan's study.
Lorcan jerked. Sirius' eyes looked deep.
"He was a talented healer in the Emilian Empire as well as my fiancee."
Sirius gulped down the tea the servants were serving.
Again Sirius asked, "What family is he from?"
Lorcan's expression changed in an instant. He shone a sharp look on Sirius' face.
"What is your business with my fiancee? Why do you seem to be so anxious to find out his identity?"
"The girl looks similar to someone I've been looking for all this time." Sirius answered him with complete calmness.
"But, there's no way she's the girl you're looking for, right?"
"Maybe it is because as far as I know there is no one who has silver hair like me in the outer empire of Zervian. Moreover, the silver hair was an emblem of the direct descendant of Emperor Zervian," explains Sirius.
Lorcan fell silent. He was thinking deeply about what Sirius was talking about.
"So, that's why you thought Andressa was someone you've been looking for all this time?"
"Yes, I want to know more about Andressa. Do you know where Andressa lived and lived? Did he have a family before?"
Lorcan replied, "No, the girl grew up in an orphanage. If I'm not mistaken Andressa has been in an orphanage since she was five years old. He had no memory of himself before he was in the orphanage."
