Sourcebook
Intro
He looked at the ball. It was not an item belonging to the Imperial Palace. It seemed something someone was playing with outside had bounced over here. One thing was certain: it was an object that had no reason to be in this place.
Footsteps were heard from the garden. The footsteps, which stopped once before continuing, were moving cautiously.
"Did you come all the way in here just to find this?"
He shifted his gaze to the ball. His lips curled into an interested smile.
"If you want it that badly, take it."
Unlike his readily offered words, there was no kindness in his expression. It was less of a permission and more of an attitude that he would watch to see what choice the other person would make.
"Of course, giving back the ball doesn't mean I'll turn a blind eye to what you've done."
"Did you really think you could just retrieve your ball and leave safely after entering the palace without my permission? That is exceedingly naive."
"If you actually thought you wouldn't get caught by me, you are quite innocent."
His voice was quiet and calm. However, within it lay a firmness that allowed no excuses or resistance from the other party.
"It doesn't matter if you don't come out. I could just call my men to seize you and be done with it. But doing all that is far too bothersome."
He looked at the ball again. He tapped it lightly with his fingertip.
"So, I am giving you the chance to come out on your own and confess your crime."
These words were far from kind consideration. As long as the master of the palace was personally commanding them to appear, the only thing left for the other person was to decide whether to obey that command or be dragged out by force.
"Whether you kneel before me or bow your head, do as you please. However, you must answer whatever I ask. And do not even think about running away without my permission. Even if you confess, you can only leave when I am in the mood to let you go."
There was no hint of exaggerated threat in his tone. Rather, he was as calm as if he were stating a natural fact. There was no need for him to even explain who held the authority to decide the fate of the intruder.
He lifted his teacup and took another sip. He was composed, as if the other person were already in the palm of his hand, no matter where they were hiding.
"Well. Will you keep hiding? Or will you come before me?"
