"Grand Duke, you are back? How did the meeting go? Did the emperor say anything to you? Are we free to head back home now?"
The aide rapidly asked these questions as he prepared to return to the Grand Duke's estate.
He looked happy to be home, and Sui was sure he wanted to spend time with his family.
But the Grand Duke's expression was not happiness but irritation.
"We can't go home. That bitch wants us to spend a night in the imperial palace until the party next week. We are the 'security' for the event. Does he think I do not know what he is planning?"
The grand Duke cursed, and everyone looked at him horrified.
But as soon as it registered that the Grand Duke was cursing, they all lost interest.
"Please, don't curse our Crown Prince like that, Grand Duke. You know it is troublesome for us to clean up after you."
The aide looked exhausted but accepted the Grand Duke's words.
