Ronald thought for a while, frowning. Then he said,
"There might be some paintings of him left. But they are in His Majesty's room. That place… is not easy to enter."
Su Jiyai leaned forward desperately.
"I don't care if it's hard. Can you show me? Please, Ronald."
Ronald crossed his arms, thinking deeply.
"If you truly are their child, His Majesty might kill me for hiding this from him. But if I bring you without proof, he might kill us both. Do you understand the risk?"
Su Jiyai thought for a while and asked quietly,
"Where is His Majesty right now?"
Ronald stepped in front of her, his tall frame blocking her view of the long corridor.
His face was pale, and his eyes were flashing with suspicion.
"Wait. Are you seriously entertaining the thought of finding His Majesty? And then what? Ask him directly for the picture of Prince Jacob?"
Su Jiyai rolled her eyes with annoyance.
