" Good day, Your Highness! " Although they were outside, Ying Jie respectfully saluted the prince before him, who wasn't used to such formalities, but still accepted them regardless.
" Thanks for coming on such short notice, Sir Ying Jie. " He grinned slightly. " I know how busy you must be with Lady Ying Yue being in convalescence and all—-- Thanks for accepting my invite. "
