Roland stayed at Emre Port for a week.
The final stop of the Emperor's tour also rested at this port, marking their first landing in the Three Overseas Provinces.
Seeing Caesar with a beaming face and the Empress shining like the stars, the officials exchanged glances, vaguely understanding much.
They did not disturb by climbing the mountain but rather let the Empress and her lover enjoy the wonder of their world together.
Some thought they had long been a couple, while others knew they only crossed the final threshold in these past few days.
Whether they knew or not, the officials silently offered their blessings and then pondered what gift to present.
This gift could neither be light nor vulgar, truly making them rack their brains.
Roland and Sif did not pay attention to the people outside; they quietly stayed in the hot spring villa, enjoying the last calm before the storm.
