บท 464: I'm not so spoiled, I'm well taken care of

She felt a wave of indignation, but also frustration.

How could one man be to overwhelmingly stubborn?!

About everything!!

He was already leading the way back to their hidden tunnel.

She ran to keep up, chasing after him back the way she'd come.

His strides were long and purposeful, and she really only caught up because he had to stop and fix the secret entrance. And even then, he'd lifted a finger to silence her before he'd done so.

Which was...

Fair.

They couldn't risk being caught by him being distracted fixing the entrance but-!

It was still frustrating, because he didn't even wait for her to speak before he set off again!

She huffed and glared at his back as they walked through the cramped and turning tunnels. "It's rude to say no to a foreign dignitary, you know...!"

He stopped suddenly.

She nearly ran into his back.

His hand gently touched her cheek and his finger lifted her chin.
