Yunning stood at the centre of her room with her ebony tresses cascading down her back. Her hands trembled slightly as she clutched the delicate pendant, the token that had once represented her betrothal to the five kingdoms' beloved King.
Her face was red and her eyes moist like she was about to break into tears. After yelling so much, her voice was hoarse and her throat dry. She didn't want to give it away. She would rather die.
"He caused all of this so why should I give him something special to me? This is the only thing I have left from my mother and you yourself know its significance. I can't... I won't," she said, and King Luo was at a loss.
Unable to speak to her like this, he turned to Boran and said, "Give me some clothes."
Boran was a little confused why he was asking for this but he still obeyed and handed him the clothes they had bought earlier at the market.
