Miss Ling has fans all over the galaxy, and many people on the StarNet like her and the Second Prince. Can this extended affection save the Second Prince from those punishments?
Evan's heart remained unsettled. He was merely a cunning and opportunistic man, and it just so happened that the second prince needed someone as perceptive and shrewd as him, which was how he managed to climb to his current position.
