Unlike Sylas, who exuded overwhelming confidence, Rocco was not fearless.
He did not want to be labeled as disrespectful to the King.
Just the thought of it made him tremble.
And so, they finally arrived at the King's office.
Rocco had expected an audience with the King to take place in a grand, open hall—perhaps the throne room.
But it seemed today was an exception.
Apparently, his father had preemptively threatened the King with, "Are you seriously planning to make Rocco kneel for hours? How dare you, you insolent fool?"
Completely outrageous.
"Rocco, just keep the greetings brief and sit down immediately. You'll get dizzy if you stand for too long."
"Mmm… No, Brother! We're meeting the King! I have to stand properly!"
Since when did he become that weak?
Then again…
Thinking back, the original Rocco Di Malvento was depicted as somewhat frail in the story.
