Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Eldest Princess was acting as a guarantor for Lei Min?
Ji Fengyan nearly burst out laughing at Eldest Princess’ words.
Which of Su Lingsheng and Lei Min’s earlier actions could have escaped Eldest Princess’s attention?
When Lei Xu was killed, wasn’t Eldest Princess the one who supported Su Lingsheng in helping Lei Min escape from the City Lord’s residence?
There was no one else in the world who could tell such a bold-faced lie.
As the Eldest Princess openly declared her guarantee of Lei Min and Su Lingsheng’s innocence, the Emperor’s expression implied he thought this was just “a small matter”. Ji Fengyan observed all these with a smirk.
The Eldest Princess had sought the Emperor only because she knew that he didn’t regard Terminators as highly as the Grand Tutor did.
To the Emperor, securing his throne and protecting his kingdom were the most important things. A powerful Terminator was beneficial to the Emperor, but at the sa ti... Terminators spent long periods out at war and didn’t have long lifespans. Whether intentionally or not, the mont a Terminator dies, his condemned armour would be taken over by his children. As such... to ensure the nation-protecting Terminators would not be without descendants, the Emperor was more than happy to let every Terminator was of-age to marry as soon as possible and bear children.
As for the other ancillary matters... he probably didn’t care at all.
“Young girl, since it’s all just a misunderstanding, let’s just treat these issues as resolved. Soon, you will attend the institute and then heading onto the battlefield. As the Emperor of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon, how can I let you face our enemies at such a young age without settling your matrimonial matters first? The issues between you two are no big deal—it’s better to cherish the one standing right before you.” The Emperor laughed heartily at this, completely into his role as a peacemaker.
Ji Fengyan finally understood. On the surface, the Emperor seed to have summoned her over for a discussion, but in reality, he was trying to force her into this marriage.
Looking at the sanctimonious Eldest Princess, Ji Fengyan’s eyes turned a shade cooler.
Lei Min stood there with a placid expression. However, his eyes trembled a little when they t Ji Fengyan’s gaze. There seed to be an intense homicidal aura in her eyes...
That murderous air which had appeared out of nowhere stupefied Lei Min.
Eldest Princess and the Emperor had been ambushing Ji Fengyan left and right, but she remained unmoved. Just as the Eldest Princess’ patience was running thin, the main doors of the grand hall were thrown open.
Everyone in the hall turned towards the door in reflex.
Only to see a slender figure suddenly being thrown in.
Lei Min suffered an involuntary shock the mont he recognized the person who had fallen in.
That was not just any other person. It was Su Lingsheng, whom Lei Min had earlier claid to be “just friends” with!
The dark guard followed soon after and bowed toward the Emperor in front of everyone’s astounded eyes.
“The dark guard pays his respects to Your Majesty.”
The Emperor was stunned. Recognizing the dark guard’s identity, that sliver of unhappiness in his eyes was imdiately dispelled.
“Why have you co?” Does the Grand Tutor have business to discuss?
The dark guard nodded.
Ji Fengyan had a strong subconscious urge to escape the mont she noticed the dark guard’s arrival. She only cald down when she realized he had co alone. Following that, her eyes naturally fell toward Su Lingsheng, who was lying by the dark guard’s feet.
Having not seen her for several months, Su Lingsheng’s previously slender figure appeared to have filled out, making her look a little plump and ungainly. Looking more closely at her, it was weird that Su Lingsheng’s hands had instinctively flown to cover her stomach in protection when she fell.
