Chapter 189 36: Princess Xoe

• “I’m sorry. I didn’t know anyone was out here.” Princess Xoe said as soon as she saw Joi on the deck, sitting on the railing with his head bowed. She spun around and walked away, hoping to return to the ship.
• “No, you do not have to leave, princess,” Joi said, jumping down the railing where he sat, staring at the small drawing of his wife on the necklace pendant in his hand.
• She paused but didn’t turn to him as she spoke. “You were having alone time, and I didn’t want to disturb you.”
