Chapter 256: This Much Desire, Together We Are Winners, No?

"It’s already hard enough that I failed to rescue him in time. Hell, I wasn’t even the one who got him back. Papa had to step in and help me out, which was even more embarrassing.
"I can’t sleep without thinking of what he went through, uncle. I feel angry all the time, even when I see him smile because I know he is hurting and there isn’t much I can do about it," Tamiko sighed as he stared at the palace kitchens.

He had come here to try and clear his head and yet it seemed like there wasn’t much of that happening. His stress was more than obvious and it was making even his uncle feel it.
Anyone close enough would have known what it felt to be in that space and frankly, it was terrifying for Tamiko.
