THE GRAND DUCHESS

"IT MAY BE temporary, but I am THE Grand Duchess Woolsey at the moment– and Your Majesty is nothing but an esteemed guest in MY territory."

Yvo had to bite his lower lip in order to stop himself from smiling.

He couldn't believe that his scaredy-cat Noonim would step up and talk back to Empress Audrey. However, it was impressive.

[Noonim speaks clearly, but…]

Gypsy's body was shaking from fear.

It was a miracle that her voice didn't crack.

[Noonim is still the cute and small animal that I know.]

Well, to be fair, Gypsy had a petite frame so he would often tease her and call her a "small animal" since small animals were cute in his book.

But at that very moment, his noonim's back looked wide.

[What a reliable noonim.]
