Bab 231: BEST IN GIVING THREATS

["PRINCESS NEOMA."]

Neoma, dipped in the tub filled with fragrant and colorful petals, opened her eyes when she heard Soju's voice in her head. "Yes, dear?"

Juri Wisteria, seated on a wooden chair beside the tub while scrubbing her arm with sponge, looked at her with a confused look on her face. "Yes, Princess Neoma?"

She turned to her daughter and smiled apologetically. "I'm talking to Soju," she said, then she pointed at her temple. "Here."

"Oh, I see," her daughter said, then she made a gesture as if she was zipping her mouth shut.

"Thank you, Juri," she said, then she closed her eyes and continued her conversation with Soju. "Do you have news for me?"

["Yes, Your Royal Highness,"] Soju said politely. ["I will put Jeno Dankworth on the line."]

"Okay."

["Princess Neoma, this is Jeno Dankworth speaking."]

"Uh-huh," she said. "I'm looking forward to your first report."
