Sourcebook
Intro
He looked at the ball. It was not an item from the Imperial Palace. It seemed something someone was playing with outside had flown over the walls. One thing was certain: it was an object that had no reason to be here.
Footsteps were heard from the garden. The footsteps, which stopped once and then resumed, were moving cautiously.
"Did you come all the way in here to find this?"
He shifted his gaze to the ball. A corner of his mouth curled into an intrigued smile.
"If you want it that badly, take it."
Despite the readily offered words, there was no kindness in his expression. Rather than permission, his attitude seemed to be one of watching to see what choice the other person would make.
"Of course, returning the ball doesn't mean I'll turn a blind eye to what you've done."
"Did you really think you could sneak into the palace without my permission, retrieve your ball, and leave safely? That is exceedingly naive."
"If you actually thought you wouldn't be caught by me, you are quite innocent."
His voice was quiet and calm. However, within it was a firmness that allowed no excuses or defiance from the other party.
"It doesn't matter if you don't come out. I could just call the guards to seize you and be done with it. But doing that is far too bothersome."
He looked at the ball again. He flicked it lightly with his fingertip.
"So, I am giving you the chance to come out on your own and confess your sins."
The words were far from kind consideration. As long as the master of the palace was personally commanding them to appear, the only choice left for the other person was whether to obey that command or be dragged out by force.
"Whether you kneel before me or bow your head, that is up to you. But 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 explain who held the power to decide the fate of those who entered the palace.
He lifted his teacup and took another sip. He remained composed, as if the other person was already in the palm of his hand, no matter where they were hiding.
"Well then, will you keep hiding? Or will you come before me?"
