Although knowing that this subordinate and that Oracle had no time to meet, much less be together without his knowledge.
Nonetheless, Royd still felt a bit displeased.
He had reminded Louis Wise more than once not to get too close to Gu Shengyin.
But he actually knew in his heart that if Louis Wise, as his subordinate, could have a closer relationship with that Oracle, the other party might cooperate more diligently.
Yet he just didnât want the two of them to get together.
Just thinking about the day when Louis Wise might become a lover with that Oracle filled his heart with boundless violence and irritation.
He himself didnât know why he felt this way.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." The door to the private room was pushed open, and a figure walked in.
Louis Wiseâs eyes lit up: To avoid being discovered, Gu Shengyin had changed out of her Oracle attire today. She was now wearing a tight waist-cincture gown with a wide skirt that was very popular this time, a design that perfectly showcased her tall and elegant figure.
She wore a large brimmed hat with ruffles of the same color that covered most of her face and held a delicate pink folding fan in her hand.
In this ensemble, she was every bit the noble young lady; no one would connect her with the Shrineâs Oracle, as if with a halo of spring breeze.
Louis went up and extended a hand: "Welcome, Lord Bis."
"Thank you, Louis Wise."
Gu Shengyin closed her fan, smilingly placed her hand into Louis Wiseâs palm.
Louis kissed her hand lightly with a warm gaze.
Royd suddenly coughed heavily, interrupting the harmonious atmosphere between the two.
Louis Wise looked somewhat puzzled at the unusual behavior of His Grace the Duke.
Roydâs gaze unnoticed slipped to Gu Shengyinâs hand, which she had already withdrawn, and he suddenly stood up, his expression cold, as he walked over to Gu Shengyin.
Louis Wise, somewhat nervous, stood in front of Gu Shengyin: He couldnât be blamed; Roydâs gaze was intimidating enough that anyone unaware would think he intended to harm Gu Shengyin.
Royd gave Louis Wise a faint look: "Move aside."
Facing those emotionless eyes, Louis Wiseâs fist clenched secretly, his body remained unmoved.
Roydâs voice dropped a degree: "Louis Wise, move aside!"
Having a formidable reputation among his subordinates, Louis Wise, confronted with those dark blue eyes, his Adamâs apple bobbed nervously twice, finally unwillingly taking a step aside.
His gaze still fixed unblinkingly on Royd, secretly vowing that if His Grace tried to harm Lord Bis, he definitely wouldnât stand by.
Contrarily, looking at Gu Shengyin, she hadnât changed her expression at all from the beginning, calmly watching Royd, seemingly not worried about herself in the least.
What happened next was somewhat unexpected for both.
Royd walked quickly to Gu Shengyinâs side, a slightly stiff smile tugging at his lips.
He extended his right hand towards Gu Shengyin: "Welcome to you, Miss Bis."
Louis Wise: ...
He was currently feeling quite confounded.
Just a welcome, yet you made such a terrible fierce appearance for what!
