The next morning, Mia woke up alone in a large, lavishly decorated bedroom. She hugged the hammerhead shark plushie in her arms and sat up in a daze. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar room before her. It was the Princess Suite that the Emperor had specially prepared for her. The walls were made of gold, and the bed was so soft that one could sink into it. This room was the pinnacle of luxury in the Rohlserlian Empire. Even the Emperor's own bedroom was not as luxurious as this.
"Ugh … It's so soft. I don't even want to get up …" Mia mumbled softly as she rolled around on the bed. She was reluctant to leave this big, fluffy bed. Although the standard of living in the past was good enough, it was definitely not as good as this.
When the maid noticed that Mia had woken up, she stood in the corner of the room, trying to minimize her presence. She asked softly, "Your Highness, are you ready to get up? What style of clothing would you like to wear today? I'll prepare it for you … "
"Huh?!" Mia was startled. She quickly waved her hand and replied, "It's fine, it's fine. I'll do it myself." After saying that, she jumped off the bed and began to rummage through the clothes that she had left the night before.
The maid looked embarrassed and said, "But, this is His Majesty's order. If I don't do it well, I'll be chased out."
In the end, Mia had no choice but to accept the meticulous service of the maids while she stood still and allowed them to do whatever they wanted. A bitter smile crept onto Mia's face. Once upon a time, she had envied Vidomina's status as a princess. She had longed to live a luxurious life, but now that she had the chance to experience a higher standard of service, she found it hard to get used to it.
After she was dressed like a real princess, Mia was informed by the maid that His Majesty was waiting for her to have breakfast with him. She was then led to a dining room. When she opened the door, she saw that the Emperor was already there. He was sitting at the dining table, looking through something. Baiyi, who had been released from prison that morning, was standing beside him.
All the maids and servants had been chased away, leaving only the master and his apprentice in the dining room.
Instead, he had his head lowered, like a student who had done something wrong, standing beside the Emperor. Mia was slightly taken aback. She had always stood in front of Mr. Hope like this, but she did not expect Mr. Hope to behave like a student. She had always stood in front of Mr. Hope in the past, but she did not expect Mr. Hope to behave like a student.
The conversation between Master and Disciple made Mia, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation, even more surprised.
"Have you figured out what's going on?" The Emperor asked as he flipped through the document in his hand.
"I spent some time studying the Book of Servitude last night, and I have a rough idea of what it is. You've combined the memories of my future teacher," Baiyi replied.
Baiyi had been studying the Book of Servitude ever since he had been locked up in the dungeon the day before. He had examined the Book of Servitude thoroughly, and from there, he found a memory fragment that had been left behind. From there, he could deduce what had happened. The current Emperor was probably a combination of an old geezer and an emperor. Instead of the easygoing and willful Old Goof, Baiyi had become more domineering and domineering.
The Book of Servitude had been in Baiyi's possession for more than ten years, and he had often studied it when he had nothing better to do. Although he had discovered that the Book of Servitude had a recording function, he had not realized that the Old Goof had hidden his own memories in it. If the young Old Goof had not taken away the Old Goof's memories, Baiyi did not know how long it would have taken him to find out.
Baiyi could only say that the Old Goof had been playing this game for hundreds of years, so it was only natural that he was better at it than Baiyi.
The butterfly effect that Baiyi had been worried about, and the script that he had prepared to deceive the Emperor had all gone down the drain. Baiyi had no idea what was going to happen next, and he did not know what would happen in the future.
The Emperor was obviously very displeased with Baiyi's low spirits. He waved at Mia, who had just entered the room, and motioned for her to sit beside him. "What's with that look on your face?" Baiyi scolded. Do you feel so bad seeing me? "
"Why would I feel bad?" Baiyi did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Besides, that's not what I'm worried about …"
"I heard about the butterfly effect from Mia yesterday. It's just a small storm, and you're already so scared? So what if it's a storm? The Void fears nothing! "The Emperor replied domineeringly.
Yesterday, the Emperor had brought Mia around the palace and had dinner with her. During dinner, the Emperor had asked why Baiyi and Mia had not come to see him, and Mia had explained the butterfly effect that Baiyi was worried about.
If it was the old fool in his later years who knew of this situation, he would probably be extremely careful and prudent in dealing with it. However, the one sitting here today was still a relatively young emperor who still had that crazy, cool, and arrogant attitude. Of course, he wouldn't care about this kind of thing.
"Don't forget, it's just an effect, not an objective law. It has not been proven or falsified. Rather, it's more like a description of a phenomenon on Earth, rather than an objective law. How could you be so scared of something like this?" The Emperor asked as he handed a piece of lamb chop to Mia. The Emperor, who had memories from his previous life, knew that lamb chop was Mia's favorite.
"Don't spoil her too much …" Baiyi, who had nothing to eat, muttered under his breath.
"I spoil my granddaughter. What's it to you?" The Emperor replied disdainfully, stroking Mia's head. Then, his tone changed to one of sternness. "Do you know where you've gone wrong?" he asked, "Do you know what you did wrong?"
"I shouldn't have burned your card, and I shouldn't have deducted your expenses. I should have come to see you as soon as I arrived," Baiyi replied helplessly.
"You left out one important point," the Emperor added. "As the heir of the Rohlserlian Crown Prince, the future Emperor, and the Voidwalker of the Void, you're willing to mingle in the streets? Pretending to be a country bumpkin? What could you possibly do in that town? Understand the Law of Time? Surround the citizens of the kingdom? Thank God you didn't expose yourself, or you would've brought shame to the Rohlserlian Empire! "
Baiyi knew that the Emperor was spouting nonsense, but he did not know how to refute him.
"Now that you know what you've done wrong, have you repented?" The Emperor pressed.
"Yes, I have. I won't do it again," Baiyi replied quickly.
"One more thing. Don't forget what it felt like to be locked up in the Black Dungeon last night. You were a tyrant in the Void, casting spells on your companions and locking them up in a dark room. Now that you've experienced it yourself, you know what it's like, don't you?"
Baiyi was speechless.
"It's a good thing you didn't forget your pride and honor. You made your move in time in Highland City. Still, Little Mia's performance was better than yours," the Emperor said, shrugging. "Where's the loot?"
Baiyi helplessly took out the Inner Abyssal Horn and the Eye of Scarlett from his storage pouch and handed them over.
The Emperor picked up the Inner Abyssal Horn and scanned it with his psychic energy. He frowned and tossed the horn back to Baiyi. It was as if the Emperor was not interested in the rare and precious material in human history. The Eye of Scarlett, however, was more interested in the Eye of Scarlett. It looked sticky, and it was constantly emitting cold air. It was obviously not suitable for breakfast, but the Emperor held it in his palm and studied it for a long time. Finally, he turned to Mia and said, "This is a very powerful ice-type magical material. You can say that it's the purest and most natural ice-type magical gem. Give me the Legacy Staff I gave you, and I'll find a way to fuse the two together."
'Whoa! You still want to upgrade this girl's equipment? Don't you know that she's already equipped with godly equipment? What's the point of giving her more? She likes to act cute, and that's how she solves her problems. No matter how good your equipment is, she'll never become the next Empress of the Rohlserlian Empire! ' 'Do you really think that the Ice Lady can fight the Void Mask with a butterfly?' Baiyi cursed inwardly.
However, the current Emperor was no longer the gullible old fool from before. He wouldn't care about those inexplicable thoughts. In fact, the Emperor was almost 100 years old. If he was an ordinary person, he should have a house full of children and grandchildren. However, he was still alone … and the time for him to marry his first wife would probably be pushed back another five years.
Therefore, at an age when he should be thinking about having children, and with his memories of the future, he met the adorable Little Mia. The Emperor's love for his little girl was indescribable. Baiyi believed that even if Mia wanted to take his throne, the Emperor would seriously consider it.
In comparison, Baiyi, who was the Emperor's official student, was treated much worse. Could this be considered cross-generational kinship?
Soon, the luxurious breakfast ended with Baiyi's silent companionship. The Emperor suggested to take Mia for a stroll around the Imperial City. Baiyi was about to interject, but the Emperor took the initiative and said, "To make up for the mistake you've made, you can work in my study."
"Huh?" Baiyi was taken aback.
"Because you messed with the Book of Servitude, I've been feeling uneasy for a long time now. I've been unable to focus on government affairs, and I've had a lot of work to do. You know how I handle government affairs, don't you? I've already made the arrangements. You just need to go there directly. "The Emperor used a very calm tone to say something that could be said to shock the world.
"Is this really something I can help you with?" Baiyi was shocked.
