บท 1478: A Blessed Daughter

Princess Yi was both revolted and pleased by his question.

Revolted because he must have been locked up in here for the last week or so to not know what had happened, and pleased because that meant that no one was helping Lady Yukio with the 'celebrations' they had set up.
