Bab 312: Her Tale (4)

"Sigh…" Valentin rubbed his head in distress as he listened to Lucia's unbelievable words,

"On the account that you are the daughter of Marquess Astaze, I will forget that you have sneaked inside the imperial palace without permission… But my Lady, I think it is really time for you to go back to your family's estate."

Lucia already expected that they would not believe her at first, and so she stayed calm, "As you command, Your Highness, but even so, there's nothing wrong in increasing the guards assigned for Lady Tehila. "

"That goes without saying..." Crown Prince Valentin tightened his grip on Tehila's arms. 

"Alright then… if both of you changed your minds, don't hesitate to send me a message. A word of advice… never underestimate an obsessed person's means of doing things." Lucia signaled the hooded mercenary to carry her back to the estate after she curtsied to Valentin and bade goodbye to Tehila.
