Chapter 50: The walk

Zhao Linger looked around the room one last time before turning toward Zhao Lianyu.

She reached for the storage ring on her finger and gave it a small twist, checking that everything she had packed was properly stored inside.

"So, when should we set off, Miss Imperial Envoy?" she asked.

After taking two steps toward the door, she suddenly stopped and turned back, squinting slightly.

"Miss Lianyu. Can I call you Miss Lianyu?"

"As early as possible," Zhao Lianyu replied calmly to the first question.

She remained standing behind her, then slowly adjusted the veil covering her face before answering the second question without any change in her expression.

"No, Princess. Please don't address me as Miss Lianyu."

Zhao Linger tilted her head slightly, her cheeks puffing out.

"Aww, why not?"

"Because I am an Imperial Envoy. And you are a princess."
