Yvette was clever, so she could tell that Darryl had deliberately teased her mother.
Darryl had always been very mischievous.
Since Yvette had spoken, Darryl stopped his teasing and sat down cross-legged to resume his meditation.
Yvette laid beside Darryl. Soon, she fell asleep with a big smile on her face.
She was exhausted from their all-day journey.
However, the Empress could not sleep a wink.
As an Empress, she was frustrated that her phoenix robe was ruined and also at the fact that she had to rest in a
