"Is there a problem?"
"Yes. Lady Jade replaced the boss and made a promise of compensation without authorization."
If they did not make a big deal out of it, it definitely was not a major issue. As the prime minister of the inner household, Jade could arrange Liu Bai's schedule when necessary.
Shuffling his schedule around and carving out a reasonable ten hours for Yelan was absolutely not difficult.
But if they made a big deal out of it...
Who gave her the authority to make decisions for Liu Bai?
Had she asked the boss for his opinion?
"...Heh."
Topaz had only explained the beginning, but Jingliu already understood. After all, she had once been the Sword Champion.
"That really is an error of principle."
"Yeah. For now, Yelan alone can't bring down Lady Jade, but in another couple of days... it won't be a problem."
"What about Yelan and the others? Are you planning to make enemies of all of them?"
"No, I'm not that stupid. We'll just arrange their compensation properly afterward—I'm guessing Lady Jade plans to do the same."
Everyone knew Liu Bai's personality well enough. For something so reasonable, even if the process was a little improper, he would agree.
So Topaz had to be the first one to see Liu Bai and establish that Jade had made a mistake.
She could not let Jade rationalize this matter.
"Anyway, Lady Jingliu, you just need to hold Lady Jade back. Leave the rest to me!"
"...Then I'll be looking forward to your performance, Miss Topaz."
"Guinaifen, are you done?"
"I-I guess I'm done."
Guinaifen's voice rang out, followed by a slender arm wearing a silver armlet reaching out and slowly pulling back the curtain.
At that moment, Guinaifen no longer had any trace of a superstar's aura.
