Archer and Morena followed the commander of the docks, Homeguards Tharnak. The older man turned to him and spoke. ''I'm surprised to see you down here, my emperor. It's unusual for the imperial family to travel here themselves.''
''Get used to it because me and the empresses tend to do our own thing across the kingdom,'' he replied to the man. ''Plus, I can't stand sending my maids to do something that would take me minutes to do myself.''
Tharnak's jaw dropped, making the couple laugh as Morena added. ''You'll always see us around the city; it's not like we hide from the people. Us women like interacting with the citizens.''
''No wonder everyone loves you and the empress,'' the older man said while looking at him. ''Not just generous but humble as well.''
Just then, a bad feeling hit Archer causing him to scan the dragon tattoos only to locate Lucrezia who was on Pluoria. When seeing she was injured his aura skyrocketed and sent the surrounding people to their knees.
