That night, Su Li ordered the Head Commander of the Shadow Guards to give the night-shift off to the rest of his subordinates on duty.
She had even wanted to send him away but the person in question had been adamant that he would follow her along, no matter what.
Seeing that he wouldn't be able to rest easy even if he was left behind and would most probably follow her in secret, she grumpily agreed to take him along with the others for the outing.
Since both of them didn't seem to come to an agreement, they compromised somewhat. She would allow him to accompany her but only if he also dressed in plain clothes like the others and would join the three of them as a friend and not as a bodyguard.
The Head Commander didn't have the guts to sit and eat with the monarch on the same table.
