When the royal guard of Yiguo arrived at the tavern, Ye Qiu had already left, and Caroline quietly watched her uncle and the disheveled Assassin, unable to help but laugh.
"Little Caroline, where is Ye Qiu?" the elder asked.
"He's gone," Caroline said indifferently.
She had anticipated that the Assassin would immediately report to her uncle, and knowing her uncle's character, he would not let the matter rest. She didn't want to see Ye Qiu and her uncle's men hurting each other, so not long after they met, Ye Qiu said his farewells and left.
"Little Caroline, the royal family does not allow you to have any outcome with this man. Even though you are single now, you cannot be with him. Our royal bloodline must not be mixed with the people of Huaxia," the elder said righteously, taking his people and leaving the place.
Caroline didn't argue, just sat at the bar on her own, her heart sinking again as Ye Qiu left.
