บท 266: Out in the Shade

"I was starting to think you weren't coming..." Prince Yi said as he straightened up from the tree he was leaning on.

Princess Nalan rode up next to him and said, "Sorry...I couldn't leave the manor immediately, I had to make things believable or Molin would get suspicious..." They had planned to meet up in a spot outside the city for a trip. Since Molin and the guards would be in the way, they came up with this brilliant strategy to get rid of them.

She left the palace early this morning and went over to the Zou representatives manor. She told Molin that she missed him and wanted to have some fun with him and sparred for a bit and then ended up drinking wine and having fun playing drinking games.

Princess Nalan, of course, was not really drinking and after they were "both" crazy drunk to the point of almost passing out. Princess Nalan "drunkenly" excused herself to her room to sleep in peace and ordered that no one was to disturb her sleep.
