Outside the Imperial Palace, all was peaceful; inside, everything was in perfect order.
Four people sat on two facing sofas, eating vanilla ice cream together.
"The technique for making ice cream came from a friend of mine on the surface," Louis XXXIX said, setting down his spoon. "Unfortunately, he passed away recently... I only learned about it when one of his subordinates visited the Underwater City."
This was the moment to offer a simple word of condolence.
Boss Luo stopped eating as well and said appreciatively, "No wonder the ice cream cart sells out so quickly every time. Apparently, it isn't just because it's the only product available. The flavor is unforgettable, too."
Even Maid Miss had finished her portion, a rare occurrence that clearly showed her high opinion of His Majesty the Emperor's culinary skills.
