A few hours later, as the sky began to brighten.
Having barely rested, Senator William made his way to Anastasia's hall early in the morning.
Seeing Senator William suddenly appear, Anastasia was visibly puzzled.
"Senator William, what brings you here?"
Unless there was a major event, the senators typically remained in Ducal Manor and would not leave easily.
Moreover, Senator William was the foremost figure in the senate.
His every move would attract attention, so coming here must mean something significant was at hand.
William did not immediately respond to Anastasia's question.
Instead, he looked extremely serious and asked:
"Anastasia, tell me the truth—what would you say if I left the senate and became a consecrated senator in your fortress?"
When Anastasia heard these words, her first reaction was to suspect that someone was impersonating William.
He was the Grand Senator of Ducal Manor!
