"That would not be needed." Mark smiled at Ana with a kind look on his face.

"I will inform your highness about the circumstances. I am sure he would understand." His dismissive look would have been appreciated if it was not Ana.

She laughed in her heart. The naive man thinks that she would give him a chance to let the matter stay ambiguous? He could later use it to declare that she had gone against the will of your highness.

Or he did not agree but she had already left, leaving a mark on her image. Old and naive would have believed in his kind smile, but now, she was not a fool.

"Oh! How could that be? I want to personally apologize to your highness for creating trouble. Where is he?" she blinked her eyes naively, making Mark infuriated.

"That.. I am sure he would understand." he repeated but she shook her head.
