"I am honored to be invited," David spoke as he bowed respectfully to the emperor.
"I am glad that you came, David," the emperor said with a friendly tone.
"As the finals approach, it's inevitable that you will win, and as a reward, you will ask to marry my daughter. Therefore, it might be a good idea to spend some time with her and get to know her, don't you think?" the emperor said, pointing to where his daughter was waiting beside him.
David noticed the emperor's tone, it was as if he was certain of David's victory, almost as if losing were out of the question.
"Well, considering that the survival of your sister depends on this man, you don't have much of a choice," the Spectral Warden mocked, as always.
David tried not to show his emotions on his face as he took a step forward toward the woman he was supposed to marry in the future.
