Chapter 281: 281: The decision

"I do not see what is so funny in what I said. Please inform me why you are laughing like this, Grand Duke. Also, must I remind you that we are not friends? You should not act this friendly with me."

Duke Victor desperately tried to suppress his mounting frustration, his face a mask of forced calm.

He had heard what the Grand Duke had just said and was trying to digest what it meant.

In his brain, there was only one reason the Grand Duke would insist on taking Sui with him: he liked her.

Usually, Duke Victor would not have cared for such a thing, but he had hoped for the Grand Duke to like the Princess and bond with her.

'This man is the only person in this world who can handle Yunjin despite her temper. There is no way I will let anyone else have him.'

"I apologise, but I cannot fulfil your request. If there is anything else you would like, please don't hesitate to tell me."

Duke Victor promised, and the room went entirely.
