Chapter 1124

Seeing that Yuvan was unable to leave the capital, Wayne deliberated for several days before saying, "Your Highness, you need time to recover and cannot return to Valken.

Wayne was prepared for Yuvan's outburst. He took a deep breath and said calmly, "Your Highness, the situation is already a mess. While you're recovering, the public will soon forget about it.

In such a scenario, he feared he would have no way to defend himself, and only Wayne could offer counsel and strategies. When Wayne understood his worry, he sighed inwardly.
