Chapter 434: A Prince
Shin's words caught in his throat as he witnessed the Vice-Head's sudden and unexpected display of deference. In a swift and fluid motion, the Vice-Head sank to his knees, his body bowing forward with a profound humility.
The weight of the moment hung heavy in the air, leaving Shin in a state of awe and confusion.
"Huh?"
"Your Highness, thank you for returning," the Vice-Head humbly spoke, his voice filled with sincerity.
"…"
Shin's head swiveled left and right, his brows furrowing with confusion as he searched for the recipient of the Vice-Head's words. He turned back, expecting to find someone standing behind him, but to his surprise, the area remained vacant, devoid of any other presence.
A perplexed expression crossed Shin's face as he locked eyes with the Vice-Head, seeking an explanation for this mysterious address. The Vice-Head, still kneeling with humility, met Shin's gaze with unwavering sincerity.
