Chapter 337.1
With trembling hands, Dana retrieved the letter and began to peruse its contents. She remained perfectly still, as though turned to stone, holding her breath.
“What’s happening? What does it say? You assured me she safely entered the kingdom,” Patrick whispered anxiously from beside her, his worry evident. He struggled to maintain composure, his concern for his daughter consuming his thoughts.
“Honey,” Dana began, tears welling up as she gazed at Patrick, “Jin is expecting a child.”
“What?” Patrick swiftly seized the letter from Dana’s grasp and read its contents. A smile gradually spread across his face, and a warm chuckle escaped involuntarily.
“My little girl is going to be a mother already.”
Dana dabbed away the tears in her eyes with a handkerchief, a mix of emotions washing over her. She quickly composed herself, adopting her usual calm demeanor as she spoke.
“It’s all right now. With Jin’s pregnancy, we have a reason for her to return to the kingdom, and they won’t be able to interfere.”
As Dana had foreseen, a knight soon arrived at the Arse manor. They were informed that a letter had arrived from the Hashi Kingdom, and Sang-je wished to meet with Dana.
