"Your Highness, Princess, what do you think?" Victoria asked again.
As a mother, she also had a mother's intuition.
She felt that something about Dodo's expression and state was very strange at the moment.
She was stiff, seemingly in great difficulty, and unable to answer.
"Your Highness, Princess, Her Majesty is asking you," Milo Edvin kindly reminded.
Dodo glanced at Milo, her eyes deliberately vacant...
She couldn't tell Victoria that Milo was holding her hand tightly, tapping a Secret Agent code onto her palm.
[Merlin Edvin is in my hands, if you don't agree, he dies.]
"I... I would like to talk to Milo alone," Dodo finally said to Victoria.
She looked at William Shaw: "I'm sorry, Young Master Yun..."
"It's alright," William Shaw smiled gently at Dodo, "Your Highness, Princess, I'll wait for you."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Milo stood up.
He took Dodo by the hand and nodded to the others: "Excuse me, I would like to talk to the Princess in a quiet place."
