Bab 296: 296: The suppressed fear

Despite Duke Victor's calculated delay, Princess Yunjin, her defiance palpable, made her intentions resolute by attempting to stand and leave as soon as he began to speak.

"I think I gave Sui enough time to do what she wanted. I should go and bring her back now."

Princess Yunjin had a tense face when she spoke these words.

It was clear that she was not going to hesitate to leave.

That was when Duke Victor quickly moved to block Yunjin's way. He could not allow Yunjin to leave at this time.

"I am afraid that I cannot allow you to do that. There is a big emergency that I want you to take care of before you go and do what you want."

Duke Victor needed to be more specific about what he wanted, making Yunjin suspicious of his intentions.

Brother Victor was never this indirect when he wanted something.
