บท 417: Wedding Rings

Lisa and Reever were sitting on the bed, curiously waiting for Ning to explain why he had done something so dangerous just to get to them.

"Right, so here's the thing," Ning said. "I have already been kicked out of the palace."

"What? Why?" Lisa asked in a loud voice.

"Well, the old man, what was his name? Tim? He said that I am not worthy of being a princess' bodyguard. So, he offered me some rewards and sent me on my way."

"He can't do that. I employed you," Lisa said.

"Well, apparently not when it comes to security. You don't seem to have a say on who guards you," Ning said.

Lisa didn't say anything. She too knew that this was true, and also for the better. The guards, maids, and servants that worked in the royal family had to go through an extensive background check to make sure they aren't a threat to the royal family. 

So, someone like Ning, who was brought in by them would not be able to stay around at all.
