After Carlisle left, everyone waited for Gideon's further instructions. Both the Prime Minister and Secretary Jia stared at Jiang Yue then at Gideon.
"Your Highness?" Secretary Jia asked, still waiting for Gideon's words.
"Go. You two... Leave us." He said while clutching his chest. "Don't let anyone disturb us. No one is allowed to come inside this room until I say so."
"Not even the Queen?" the Prime Minister asked.
"Not even the Queen." Gideon acknowledged.
Both the Prime Minister and Secretary Jia nodded before leaving.
After the duo left, Gideon's exhausted expression instantly changed. The tiredness in his eyes was now gone, replaced by alertness and relief.
"Jiang Yue?" He asked.
She nodded. "Glad you recognized me."
"Not everyone has the guts to offend the Crown Prince," he said before sighing. "I told you not to come here."
"I know."
"But you still came..." he stated. "Why? Are you not afraid?"
