Prince Liang Returns
Prince Liang returned to his residence shortly before dawn.
His attendant was still awake.
The moment he entered, the attendant stood.
"Your Highness!"
Prince Liang raised a hand.
"Don't ask."
The attendant blinked.
"I wasn't going to."
"You were."
"I was."
Prince Liang sat down.
His expression was strangely amused.
The attendant stared.
"You look…"
"Don't."
"…injured."
Prince Liang glared.
The attendant immediately lowered his head.
"Forgive me."
Prince Liang rubbed his forehead.
"Mei Lan attacked me."
The attendant's eyes widened.
"She did what?"
"She kicked me."
"Your Highness…"
"I know."
"Where?"
Prince Liang stared at him.
The attendant immediately stopped.
"I understand."
Prince Liang sighed.
Then he pulled out the token.
"But she also dropped this."
The attendant's expression changed.
He recognized the symbol immediately.
"…Your mother's network."
Prince Liang nodded.
"So you know."
"Yes."
"How did I not know?"
