Chapter 322
“Your Highness.”
Xiaoshi’s voice was a soft whisper.
Jin, who had been dozing with his chin propped on the desk, straightened his posture as if nothing had happened. Footsteps could be heard approaching from far outside. Soon the door opened, and the Prime Minister and Ministers entered together.
Ian and Romandro were among them. Had they returned late yesterday? While Ian seemed fine, Romandro’s complexion was seriously concerning.
“Your Highness, thank you for attending the meeting at such an early hour.”
“Why such formalities for what is my duty? Withdraw them and be seated.”
Meeting Jin’s eyes, Ian bowed with his hand on his chest. It was a plain, unembellished greeting. So dry that it was hard to believe this was the same person who had been laughing and chatting in the same place just yesterday – no, mere hours ago.
Jin responded with a simple nod. Everyone looked particularly exhausted, having rushed over at the break of dawn.
“With such an early start, it will surely be a productive day.”
