Hillpry was looking down at a document when he heard footsteps and looked up to see Mikejay.
Mikejay stopped three steps away from Hillpry and bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty! I apologize for my failure to complete the task you entrusted to me." He had genuinely not expected the other party to refuse. Anyone who received an invitation from the Royal Family would normally be thrilled and would gladly accept.
Hillpry raised an eyebrow.
"That doctor from Yan Country, she declined your invitation," Mikejay said apologetically to Hillpry.
"Oh?" There was a trace of surprise on Hillpry's face as he put down the document in his hand. His slender fingers gently tapped on the desktop, waiting for Mikejay to continue.
