"Sui, do you have to go back? Can you stay with me for a bit longer? I am asking for a little here. Just a few more hours, please!"
The princess begged as she kept her hold on Sui kept getting together. It made Sui feel like she could not breathe at this rate.
She was sure her face turned blue because the princess suddenly noticed and let Sui go.
Just as the tension in the room peaked, a thunderous knock echoed through the door. A heartbeat later, it swung open, revealing a figure that would change the course of the evening.
Duke Victor entered the room but did not look happy with the Princess in front of him.
"What is the meaning of this Yunjin? How can you cancel-!"
The Duke looked ready to chew the princess out, but he stooped when he noticed Sui.
His eyes narrowed in understanding, and Sui suddenly felt that she was being blamed for whatever was going wrong.
