'I need to change the topic. I must distract Dimitry and lower the depressing air filling this room.'
Sui bit her lip and wracked her brain for an idea of what she could do.
"Lord Dimitry, will you accompany the princess to Concubine Alex's home?"
Sui finally asked, and it seemed to work.
Dimitry sighed but was quick to shake his head.
"Oh god, no! I don't have enough stamina to make the journey at Princess Yunjin's pace. Plus, the finance ministry will collapse if I take an off for that long. So, I will stay behind this time."
Dimitry shivered at the thought of facing people from Concubine Alex's home.
Sui envied him, but she knew she would not abandon the princess at this point.
"Just because I am not here does not mean you will be alone with the princess. One of your seniors will be accompanying you. Have you ever heard of Lady Aerith before?"
