"Kai, what exactly do you think you're doing? You're managing to irritate the Princess to no end!" Velc's urgent whisper reached Kai's ears, laden with concern and warning.
With a heavy sigh, Kai turned to the Princess, his expression contrite yet resolute, "I apologize sincerely, Princess. My actions were influenced by emotions that got the better of me," he admitted, his voice tinged with regret as he steeled himself for what needed to be done. Gazing at his slave, who was tenderly holding the wounded Lia, Kai issued a clear directive, "Ether, please escort her out."
"Hmmm, Hmm..." The Princess, her demeanour unyielding, shook her head disapprovingly and reiterated her command with a firm tone, "Throw her out."
"T-Throw her out," Kai repeated, his inner turmoil reflected in the way he nervously bit his lip, knowing the gravity of the situation but determined to follow through.
