Slyvester walked back to the bed, unable to handle Desire’s tears anymore. He had done everything possible to make her stop crying but Desire wasn’t yielding.
“Why are you still crying?” Slyvester asked her for the umpteenth time.
The day of the king’s birthday finally arrived and before then, noblemen, dignitaries, the rich, wealthy and powerful had already tripled into the palace to celebrate the king’s birthday.
“My lord,” Desire rushed into the room to see Slyvester packing up his clothes and every other thing he had brought to the palace.
Desire and Ying got back to the mansion hours later and Desire couldn’t hide how happy she was to return to this place. The mansion might not have had good memories but this place was home.

Desire hand holding the knife stopped for a few minutes, she was surprised at what Fei had just said. Her master was already betrothed! Is that why it was so easy for him to lie to the king?

Desire thought of how much her master had questions to ask her these days.“To the kitchen to prepare your breakfast, my lord. If not, the court lady would be really angry at me.

Sylvester kept on watching her as she slept soundly, oblivious of what was going on around her. He stood up later on, took his bath and kissed her forehead before walking out of his suite. He needed her to rest thoroughly and to avoid any problems with other house maidens, he decided to skip breakfast.He went on with his job of informing other regions of King’s plan
