Qin Hai stormed out of his chamber, his expression thunderous.
The aura around him was suffocating, so much so that his attendants trailed behind with trembling steps.
"Summon my closest confidants. We're going to the royal court," he snapped.
One of his female attendants, gathering what little courage she had, whispered, "Your Highness… it's not a good idea to appear so suddenly before His Majesty—"
SLAP!
Her head snapped to the side, her cheek burning red.
"My sister is in the hands of the demons," Qin Hai growled, his voice tight, trembling as though on the verge of breaking. "Do you understand that? The Third Princess kidnapped by the Fang Family. And you dare tell me to sit still?"
The sheer conviction in his voice would have convinced any outsider of his sincerity.
None would ever suspect that the very girl he wept for was locked away beneath his own estate.
His attendants swallowed hard and fell silent, unable to meet his eyes.
