"Your Majesty, the statement has been issued, and... Helian Tu has already moved out of the palace."
Helian Cheng stroked the pen holder in front of him, his eyes filled with reluctance and longing, but there was nothing he could do.
The guards around him tried to minimize their presence, standing respectfully to the side.
In the afternoon, a guard walked in from outside the bedchamber.
"Your Majesty, the head of the Leiden family has presented three beauties to you. We hope Your Majesty will accept them."
No sooner had the guard finished speaking than the pen holder in Helian Cheng's hand snapped in two, his face contorted with rage.
What does Leidenhon consider to be?
