Afterward, Shane and his companions left the reception room directly, without any pause.

Anxi and Aridia watched everyone leave; one gazed at Shane’s retreating back, lost in unknown thoughts, while the other watched Tielle’s departing figure with a cold expression, making the air in the reception room remain heavy until they were gone, leaving Lu Muya and rica unsure of what to do, clearly at a loss.

On the other hand, Luoqi seed sowhat intriguingly contemplative as she observed the situation, while Vivian’s face was a mix of emotions, as if she knew sothing.

As a result, Shane was the one who beca confused.

“What kind of tricky situation is this going to be?”

That was Shane’s first reaction.

Therefore, Shane didn’t really want to delve into this matter, really did not want to.

But it was at this ti that Luoqi suddenly caught up with them, ignoring the surprise of Vivian and others, and pulled Shane aside.

“Hey, rember to keep an eye on Tielle recently,” Luoqi whispered to Shane just as he was about to resist, “If I’m not mistaken, soone will likely cause trouble for her now that she’s returned to the Royal Capital. Although that child probably isn’t afraid, there are too many Nobles in the Royal Capital who love to sche; I’m worried Tielle might be frad. So, help her stay vigilant, okay?”

Such words brought Shane’s resistance to a halt.

“…What on earth is going on?”

With a sigh, Shane found that he had to ask after all.

He had no choice, Tielle was his half-ntor, like Vivian, and had taken great care of him; Shane couldn’t just sit by and watch if he knew she was in danger, even if he dreaded trouble.

But Luoqi didn’t give an explanation.

“You’d better ask for the details yourself. This is sowhat of a taboo in the Royal Capital, better to have the child tell you directly,” Luoqi hesitated before concluding, “In the past, Riley, Vivian, and I had a good relationship with Tielle, but as my matters increased, my relationship with Tielle grew distant. After Aridia beca my ntor, Tielle refused to speak to at all, leaving only Riley and Vivian to look after her.”

Perhaps it was because of this connection that, after Tielle ca of age, Riley and Vivian had invited her to Lamijion?

“To be honest, I really want to have a good talk with that child. I don’t think she dislikes ; I can tell. But she’s no longer willing to have anything to do with ,” Luoqi said with a complex tone, “Now that Riley is not here, it’s hard to say whether Vivian alone can help Tielle. I planned to intervene a little, but since you’re here this ti, maybe it’s better for you to take action.”

Saying this, Luoqi handed an item to Shane.

It was a pendant in the shape of an emblem.

Upon the emblem, there was the engraving of a sword.

Shane recognized at a glance that the sword depicted on the emblem was the Hero’s Holy Sword.

“What is this?”

Shane blinked.

Luoqi blinked as well and without any explanation, said, “Well, simply put, it’s a symbol of identity. If you encounter soone trying to use their power to oppress you, just show them this.”

At these words, Shane’s eyebrow twitched.

“This wouldn’t happen to be sothing like a Royal Family emblem, would it? Holding it ans acting as an agent of the Royal Family?”

Shane stared hard at Luoqi.

Luoqi didn’t speak.

Then, Shane understood.

“Alright, throw it away.”

“I knew you’d do that! That’s why I didn’t want to tell you!”

“Nonsense! To carry this thing around is to simply tell everyone I’m related to the Royal Family!”

“But isn’t that a good thing? So many people can’t even beg for such a connection!”

“Then give it to soone else! If anyone from the Old Demon Clan Faction or one of those noble Lemon spirits sees it, won’t they target right away? I don’t want it!”

“Want it or not, you still have to take it! Put it on, now!”

“I won’t!”

“You…! Only direct mbers of the Royal Family have this thing! And each person only gets one! Now it’s only , my father the king, and my elder sister who have one! Throwing it away is a beheading offense!”

“Tsk…”

“Do you really need to detest it that much? Damn it! Just put it on!”

Shane and Luoqi ended up arguing and shoving each other, looking like they were wrestling in a tangle, frightening Vivian, Lu Muya, and rica, who were watching from a distance.

In the end, Shane was forced to wear the pendant.

“Listen, you are not allowed to take it off,” Luoqi threatened, “If I find out you took it off, I’ll announce to everyone that I’m going to marry you.”

With that one sentence, Shane froze completely, not daring to move.

Seeing Shane so clearly annoyed at stopping the action of removing the pendant, Luoqi, on the other hand, felt an urge to take his head off.

She was, after all, a princess beloved by all, the number one beauty and genius of the Human Realm. The entire nation was crazy about her, and sons of Noble families, Princes from Foreign Countries, and important people from other clans did everything they could to please her, wanting to leave a good impression in the hopes she would marry one of them. They ca flattering her day in and day out. And yet, this man was so displeased at the announcent of marrying her that she wanted to beat him up badly.

But…

(It’s precisely because he’s like this that I can trust him.)

Luoqi sighed inwardly.

Rembering the interactions with Shane, the feeling of not needing to hide herself or care about the opinions of others, Luoqi couldn’t rember the last ti she had felt so relaxed and natural.

With a complex expression, Luoqi watched Shane and, hesitating for a mont, she spoke.

“With that pendant, you can enter and leave the Royal Palace freely without hindrance. If you have ti, co by more often.”

Luoqi’s hint was so obvious that it hardly needed explaining.

Of course, knowing Shane’s personality, Luoqi always felt he’d definitely say sothing like “I won’t co back to this place again”.

So, she hurriedly added another line.

“If you dare to refuse, I’m going to start charging you for those three Holy Sword Sealing Rings I gave you.”

“Despicable!”

That was all Shane could retort.

But Luoqi, on the contrary, felt her mood brightening, completely ignoring Shane’s opinion, she turned around and left seemingly in high spirits.

All Shane could do was return to Vivian and the others with an even gloomier face.

And the expressions on Vivian and the others who greeted Shane were indescribably strange.

“You seem to have gotten quite close to the princess?”

Vivian said sowhat uncertainly, causing Lu Muya and rica to nod repeatedly.

To this, Shane imdiately responded.

“I’m not, I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense.”

Vivian and the others simply didn’t believe his words.

The group then continued chatting as they left the Royal Palace.
