Though he tried to keep his face impassive, the slight upward tilt to his lips belied his amusement.
The Head Commander thought that Ning Fu was smiling at the monarch who couldn't stand straight and felt his ire rising.
He eyed him like a piece of dirt stuck on his footwear.
"Thank you for looking after the monarch. It's late at night so the Unit Commander can return. I will take His Majesty to his rooms."
Ning Fu wanted to retort that he could look after the monarch quite well on his own and didn't need the Shadow Guard's help.
However, he realised that if he said those words, it would look like two concubines fighting to gain the favour of the monarch so he wisely kept those words to himself and didn't bother talking with this person who was unsightly to his eyes.
So he simply nudged the monarch forward but the other person stuck to his side like an octopus.
"Your Majesty, the Head Commander will lead you to your rooms."
