When Saknu came, his face was very ugly, so dark it seemed like it could drip water. Seeing the madam, he only uttered, "Mother!" and then sat heavily in the chair, brooding.
Upon seeing his demeanor, the madam asked, "What's with the gloomy face? Is it just because a woman ran away? If she doesn't want to be with you, why would you impose upon her? As a Liaodan Prince, aren't there plenty of women available to you?"
Saknu snorted, his temples throbbing with anger. If it was before he had been kicked, perhaps he would heed his mother's gentle advice, and let the woman go. But after being kicked, no matter how eloquently it was put, he was not going to let that woman go!
