Sinde and Nuremberg exchanged a smile and both gave Yun Zhe a contemptuous laugh.
"You know that too, Yun Zhe? How can you be so sure the Duke will make a move?"
“If Serena doesn’t marry into the family, the Duke has no reason to take action. As long as the elves don’t cross the line, the Duke can simply sit back and watch.”
