221: The clash of duty

"Listen to me, girl! You better keep your head down when you come with me. I do not want your presence to ruin my chances of making a good impression on Lady Hwasa. This is not a request; it's an order!"

The nanny confronted Sui when they were kicked out of Duke Victor's office. 

Still reeling from the unexpected turn of events, Sui blinked a few times to clear her head. Her vulnerability was palpable.

The nanny sighed, her frustration evident. She regretted being stuck with someone this dumb and then resigned to her fate.

She knew that she could not shake off Sui now. The Duke's orders were absolute, and she could not deny them.

But she needed to stress the importance of this day for the dumb guard so that she would know just how important this day was for her.
