Everyone looked at Princess Yunjin to see what she would do next.
It was a universally acknowledged truth that the emperor was an entity not to be trifled with. His presence commanded respect, compelling even the most defiant to bow their heads in submission. This was the reality that Princess Yunjin, too, was bound by.
Even Princess Yunjin was not barred from this fate; she had to follow her instincts.
But she was a stubborn person who had never bowed in front of her fate before. That was why everyone wanted to see what would happen next.
"Tsk, fine! Since my brother asked me to calm down, it does not seem like I have much choice. I will let you go this time, Brother Victor. But don't you dare make the same mistake again before me?"
Princess Yunjin backed down, causing Duke Victor to look relieved. Everyone else looked disappointed at how quickly this situation had been resolved.
The emperor reached his hand out to pet the princess's head.
