章 86: Chapter 23 - The only one who matters (part 2)

Veo lowered her head, now blushing bright red, and answered the question in a barely audible voice.

"No. Not the first prince, Veo... I'm asking you about the reason why Teo suddenly went on a strike."

The black-haired boy sighed and massaged his forehead in mild annoyance.

"Oh...! Ah.. o-of course...! Sh-she was sulking and repeating that she was a bad girl over and over again. But she wouldn't tell me why. Did you scold her?"
