For a moment, neither of them spoke.
Then Violet glanced at Zara. Zara glanced back. They shared a quiet smile.
When they looked at Aksai again, their expressions were warm and gentle, filled with trust and affection.
"Thank you, my Lord. We… we will serve you well tonight," Violet said softly.
"Hehehe. We will not disappoint you," Zara added with a mischievous smile.
At that point, both of them came to the same conclusion. They did not need to think about this incident anymore. Aksai was going to handle the problem personally. All they needed to do was keep Aksai entertained and satisfied.
They bowed once more and finally took their leave, their steps light as they exited the hall.
The moment they were gone, Aksai's smile faded. His face turned serious. He lifted a hand and pressed his fingers against his forehead, slowly rubbing his temples.
