Mark stared at her for a while, calculating the pros and cons. She patiently waited in silence until he opened his mouth, "Before I give you my answer, I should tell it to someone else."
Shen Ling didn't have to think hard to understand who that someone is. She told him that she will wait for his answer, feeling positive in her mind.
Soon, they got out of the treasury room and parted ways.
While the princess went to the king's chamber to give good news to her father, Mark went to Song Yue's room.
He didn't reveal anything about his conversation with Shen Ling or about the hidden treasure but only informed her that he was considering marriage to the princess.
Song Yue's face was frozen for a moment before she turned away to hide her expression from him and simply replied, "I'm happy for you."
