This was the first time Aiden had ever seen the true side of this iron-willed Empress after she had completely let down her guard.
"You're here."
Eira raised her head. On her breathtakingly beautiful face, a faint, pure smile appeared.
This smile no longer carried the pressure she had in court, where she seemed to look down on everyone. Instead, it was gentle, like the smile of a kind girl next door.
"Sit."
She lifted her slender hand and pointed to the seat across from her.
Aiden showed no hesitation. He strode over and sat down boldly in front of the Empress.
His eyes were as deep as the Abyss as he quietly looked at the woman before him—the woman who held the power of life and death over countless people.
Eira picked up the warm white jade wine pot on the table and actually stood up in person.
She bent slightly and filled the cup in front of Aiden with a top-quality clear wine, rich with spiritual energy.
