The Emperor leads me through the dimly lit corridors of the Imperial Palace.
The weight of the events of today and yesterday is still very much present in my mind. We head in a new direction of the Imperial Palace I haven't ventured into yet. We walk up a flight of stairs until we reach a grand but classic-looking door. The Emperor waits for me to reach him at the top of the stairs.
"This is my private office. This is the place I do the majority of my private work. The door and the room are completely enchanted with protective magic and counter-magic for people trying to be nosy."
I nod in response, and he opens the door with a flick of his wand to unlock the magic lock.
The door slowly opens up to a magnificent room.
The private office is one many people could only dream of ever having in their lifetime. Towering bookshelves fill the space with numerous rare books and artifacts. Several magnificent chandeliers light up the private office, giving it a warm glow.
