The Emperor decides it's better if we go to the private lounge.
He says it's safer to use than a simple private room which only has the baseline level of magic barriers. We all walk behind the Emperor through the halls of the Imperial Palace as he talks to King Grey. Both of them standing next to each other makes them look so regal. So powerful.
We eventually arrive at the staircase leading up to the private office and private lounge. The marble stairs absorb our footsteps as we climb up them one by one. There is a window between the top and bottom of the staircase which I never saw before.
I pause and take a look outside as the sun still remains high in the sky. A partial view of the Imperial Garden can be seen from here as well. Ivy brings me to my senses before I stand there for too long.
We bound up the steps as we catch up to the Emperor and King Grey.
