"It's been two hours since we served that young man the poisoned food— it's about time I check up on them as instructed by Her Highness…" Jiu Chun mumbled to himself as he made his way towards the ninth floor.
'Hmm? It's awfully silent up here…' Jiu Chun raised his eyebrows in a puzzled manner, as he'd expected some sort of commotion. Furthermore, the closer he got to their room, the more anxious he felt for some reason, almost as though his instincts were telling him to stay away from that room.
"Your Highness, may I come inside?" Jiu Chun asked her from the outside.
However, there was no response even after waiting for many moments.
"Your Highness? It's Jiu Chun, and I have come here as instructed," he repeated.
After another moment of silence, a voice from inside the room resounded, yet it was clearly not Lian Li's voice, as it sounded like a young man's voice.
"You may come inside," Su Yang said to him from the inside.
"..."
