Chapter 74: Oh Yes Master~

Kae's words hung in the air, leaving Anna with more questions than answers. She watched as he turned to leave, his silhouette framed by the dim light of the corridor.

"Wait," Anna called out, her voice barely above a whisper, but laced with urgency.

Kae paused, his hand resting lightly on the door handle. He didn't turn to face her but remained still, waiting.

"What do you mean by 'it wouldn't be just her'?" Anna demanded, her brows furrowing as her chest tightened with a mixture of fear and curiosity.

Kae's lips curled into a faint, enigmatic smile, though Anna couldn't see it from where she stood. "You'll see," he said softly, his tone almost teasing. Then, his voice grew cold. "Just remember, Anna, in this palace, no one is innocent. Everyone has secrets, and everyone will pay for their sins. That, I promise you."
