Princess Ievna snorted when she realized that Connad chose to hide in the dark when she was at odds with the palace cooks, and he only chose to come into the light when the cook nearly slapped her.
'Just like how a hero usually appeared gracefully at the most vulnerable time,' thought Princess Ievna with a sneer.
