"Princess, today we need to go..."
Sikokun walked into the study and saw Yelena holding her phone, sitting lost in thought at the desk.
"Princess?"
"Hmm?" Yelena snapped out of it. "Oh, Sikokun, you're here."
"I'm here to escort you to the pre-inauguration council meeting. You seem preoccupied. Is something on your mind?"
In response to Sikokun's question, Yelena glanced at her phone and answered frankly.
"I was just thinking about whether I should call my teacher."
"...I imagine that after your father's announcement yesterday, if he follows the news, he must already know."
"You misunderstand, Sikokun." Yelena shook her head. "I don't want to talk to him about succeeding as Governor. I just want to thank him. Without his training at the academy, Rijeka's plot might have succeeded."
Hearing this, Sikokun's expression turned serious. "Princess, you may not like what I'm about to say, but I must say it."
Yelena had a vague idea of what was coming and frowned slightly.
