Chapter 51: 51: The first battle won

"M-Master Dimitry, please calm down. I am sure that Concubine Shizuku will be back soon. She went for a small walk and assured us she would not cause any trouble."

The servant watched in tense silence as Dimitry Hun sat in the middle of their guest room.

The minister of finances, also known as the Jewel of the kingdom, was one of the most influential people.

He had risen from the ashes of his destroyed family name and grabbed one of the highest positions in the kingdom.

Everyone knew his story, but they also knew he was someone they should not mess with.

"Oh! Isn't that what you also said to me almost an hour ago? Just tell me the truth - even you have no idea when your concubine will return, right?"

The man asked, hitting the nail in the coffin. 

Concubine Shizuku had just said she would be 'back soon,' but no one bothered to ask her what this 'soon' meant.

After all, no one wanted to lose their lives by questioning a concubine.
