Right at that moment, a eunuch walked into the room and said respectfully, “Your Majesty, someone is asking for you outside the palace. His name is Florian Darby, and he is from the New World. He claims that he is a friend.”
‘Florian Darby?’
Donoghue put his wine glass down. He subconsciously squinted his eyes.
‘Isn’t he doing well as an official in the New World? Why is he here?’
Donoghue raised his hands. “Let him in.”
“Yes!” The eunuch immediately responded before he left quickly.
Not long after that, the eunuch brought two people, who looked worn out from their journey, into the room. It was Florian and Yumi.
“Your Majesty!”
When they were in front of Donoghue, Florian immediately pulled Yumi and knelt. He spoke with an extremely respectful and polite tone. “I, Florian Darby, along with my wife, Yumi Griff, are here to greet Your Majesty. All hail Your Majesty!”
Florian’s heart was extremely excited.
They finally met Donoghue. They would be able to start a new life from then onward.
Donoghue chuckled out loud. He lifted his hands. “Master Darby, you may get up…”
His eyes looked at Yumi closely. Donoghue was stunned and shocked to see her.
‘What a coincidence! So, this woman is Florian’s wife?‘ He chuckled to himself.
When Donoghue traveled the seas around Donghai City, he had stumbled upon Yumi, who was on the run. He had been outraged when he knew that she was from the Darby family and that she was Darryl’s sister-in-law; he had even defiled her for that reason. Then, he took her with him until he obtained the Sky Breaking Ax.
It was a nightmare for Yumi, but it was something that Donoghue still reminisced about frequently.
Woo…
Yumi felt extremely uncomfortable when she felt Donoghue’s gaze on her. She wanted to turn around and leave. However, she felt the grandness of the bedchamber and the intense aura from Donoghue’s body. She knew that she could only lower her head and bore through that silently.
“Master Darby.”
Donoghue smiled and looked at Florian. “You are Lord Kenny’s celebrated official. Weren’t you doing well with him? Why did you come here?”
Donoghue was wise and intelligent. When he saw the state of their dressing, he knew that they were not there on official court matters.
