Zhu Yu and Chu Jiu emerged from a corner only after the courtyard was vacated.
Zhu Yu patted herself on the chest. "That was so scary. I thought the Grand Duke would end up starting a fight with His Majesty."
Chu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief as well.
The Grand Duke looked so frightening just now. The man knew that the person in Miss' room was His Majesty, yet he still dared to quietly assemble archers. It did not even bother him that the target was the Emperor.
The Grand Duke's actions could be interpreted as a rebellion, but His Majesty had chosen to ignore it, possibly out of respect for Second Miss.
Otherwise, he would not have turned a blind eye against such disrespect from the Grand Duke.
The Grand Duke was also overreacting. Even if His Majesty was not behaving appropriately, he was still the ruler of a nation. There was no place in the world he was not allowed to enter.
