章 79: 3-25

The guard stationed by the second prince's chambers was dozing off, the calmness and stillness of the early morning making him sleepy. He yawned, trying hard to keep his eyes open, despite how heavy his eyelids felt. The end of his shift should be coming soon…

All of a sudden, he was startled awake, by the door opening wide, pushed with full force by the price, who ran out of the chambers, his clothes hastily put on, and his golden hair in total disarray.

That was, of course, Yu Qingyu, who spent the whole night tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, and jumped out of bed as soon as the sky showed the first hints of brightening up, preluding the sunrise. He couldn't wait any longer, he had to find out what was the current situation!

"Any news?" he immediately asked the guard.

"Y-your Highness! I'm sorry, Sir, I don't know…" the guard uttered.

Yu Qingyu only nodded in response, and without saying anything else, strode down the hallway.
