The Empire of Reimia (3)

-I apologize for interrupting your conversation, he added. -Are you here to watch the sports competitions as well?

Romeo nodded silently. After the recent announcement made by the emperor, Romeo seemed somewhat detached and not quite "himself." He was quiet and rarely engaged in conversations, as if burdened by heavy thoughts. It was quite possible that Azarina simply took him out for a walk and to distract him.
- Yes, replied Azarina, - it's strange to meet you here. Perhaps the capital isn't as big as it seems to one person.

The temptation to find out the meaning of the conversation was great, but in the end, Mia convinced herself with the argument that the curator was already quite open with them, and if it wasn't something really secret, they could just ask him. The girl is waiting at the door.

- Ah, Imir! - Latro waved his hand. - The most pleasant face of all that I expected to see here. I thought I would be the only one sweating in the gym on a weekend, struggling with the barbell.

- Ha-ha... I, on the contrary, thought there would be more people here today, but apparently everyone is too busy with other things. But I can't blame anyone for that, the news is really scary... Um, I don't want to say anything about the emperor or his successor, don't get me wrong, I just mean... Such significant historical events don't happen often, and the uncertainty about the future is a little scary.
