章節 129: 129: The princess's horse

"Princess Yunjin, I am here to submit some papers to you. Huh? Is my cute junior not here? Weird! Where did she go? Are you trying to hide her from me?"

Dimitry asked as he broke into the princess's office.

His happy tone did not show any emotions he was feeling, but the princess's stare was piercing and all-knowing. 

Being looked at by her made Dimitry feel oddly exposed.

"Sui has yet to arrive here. Did you want something from her?"

Princess Yunjin asked in a tense voice. She seemed on edge today, and Dimitry quickly weighed his options before replying.

"Of course not, princess. I wanted to greet my lovely junior since I am here. But it's a shame that my junior neglects her duties this openly. It breaks my heart."

Dimitry joked around, but even he felt sympathetic toward Sui.

The poor girl had endured more than enough ever since she had become Princess Yunjin's guard.
