The master coughed and nodded at Macaro.
Macaro felt even more helpless because he was the one who had been rebuked the most harshly in the beginning. However, reluctantly, this Cunning Fox had to recite the entire incident once again.
After he finished, he added, "Princess, we did not deliberately try to hide such trifles."
Princess Griffine nodded, magnanimously, "Different positions lead to different understandings, resulting in conflicts; that's not surprising. But speaking of which, Teacher Liwu, it was you who taught me this principle—"
Liwu quickly lowered his head in fear and trepidation. He knew this student was subtly complaining about his attempt to conceal this matter. This made the old man both fearful and comforted; fearful of the superior's suspicion, yet comforted because the Princess implied a complaint rather than a reproach, which could be considered a kind of intimacy.
