"Princess, you forgot this," he said again then lowered his head and handed an object to Fu Xie Lan very politely.

It was the Emperor's jade. Whoever possessed the jade could make any order that was equivalent to a King.

​​

Previously, the Commander of the Zu kingdom gave the flat object to Emperor Fu Qing but the middle-aged man refused and decided to give it to his only daughter, Fu Xie Lan, and the girl forgot to bring it.

"Princess?"

"What are you talking about Commander?" the voice coming from Rin Gyu's father managed to make the commander turn his head towards him.

As for Rin Gyu, the young man frowned in confusion.

"This lady is the eldest Princess of the Zu kingdom, Fu Xie Lan, Mr. Rin," the Commander-in-Chief introduced.

"But, isn't the princess already dead...."

"WATCH YOUR WORDS!" snapped the commander immediately cut off the conversation from the head of the Rin family.

Immediately the middle-aged man turned to Rin Gyu beside him, giving him a look as if demanding his son to explain.

"He's lying, Commander."

"He lied to you, obviously the news that spread said that the princess was dead!" said Rin Gyu feeling disapproved.

Suddenly the commander-in-chief glanced at Fu Xie Lan, but what he found was that the princess was silent with the same expression as before. For a moment the man was surprised, because if it was someone else then maybe he had replied to Rin Gyu's words, but something different was found in the girl.

"WATCH YOUR WORDS!" snapped the commander-in-chief.

"He has gone mad."

"See, even his words sound very pushy."

"That's right, that girl is Princess Fu Xie Lan. How could the Commander-in-Chief lie."

The voices heard from the crowd made Rin Gyu frown. Princess? Hah even if everyone said that the girl was the eldest daughter of the Zu kingdom, he would not believe it.

How could the eldest daughter of the Zu kingdom wear such clothes? Truly very far from the appearance that a princess should show. And again, what's with the clothes she's wearing? Not a dress but a men's clothes. Should a princess wear something like that?

"He could be one of the witchs," Rin Gyu accused later and was given a sharp glare from the Commander of the Zu Kingdom.

The commander-in-chief glanced at Fu Xie Lan again, but the girl's expression was still the same. It seems that the mouth of the son of the Rin family needs to be taught a lesson.

"Just look, she's always covering her face. Isn't that to trick you guys?" said Rin Gyu again.

Already, the commander can't stand it. He wants in to give a little lesson but was stopped by someone.

Fu Xie Lan's arm withholds his chest, "Let it go," the girl said.

"But Princess, he has gone too far," said the royal commander.

"Xie Lan, he should be taught a little lesson, if left unchecked, then he will continue to cause trouble later on," Xue Ning chimed in.

"Hmm, it's just..."

"Ladies and gentlemen forgive my son's mistakes," said the middle-aged man interrupting Fu Xie Lan's words, his position still the same, standing next to Rin Gyu. Since earlier his ears were already hot hearing the chatter that came from the crowd. He didn't know exactly what had happened, but it seemed that the people they were dealing with right now weren't the ones they should have touched.

"What did you say, Dad?" Rin Gyu protested.

"I am innocent, Dad. Why apologize?"

"The ones who should be apologizing are them," the young man added again with a look of disapproval.

"Alright, let's go home. Don't disgrace Rin's surname" replied the middle-aged man.

"Princess, we're sorry," he said then bowed slightly, either saluting and apologizing.

The head of the Rin family then grabbed Rin Gyu's arm and quickly walked away from there. Of course, it was followed by several people who were with them before.

Seeing that, One of Xue Ning's eyebrows rose. Wasn't he just yelling at Fu Xie Lan? Then why now suddenly change?

The girl took a deep breath. Whereas she wanted to hit a man named Rin Gyu, but Fu Xie Lan just let him go.

While on the other hand, Fu Xie Lan who saw the Rin family walk away immediately turned to the commander-in-chief.

"Come back," she said, asking the man to return to the Arcadia Inn.

At the same time, the people who had gathered before now left one by one, dispersed, and returned to their respective activities.

.

.

.

Entering the palace gates, everyone immediately bowed to Fu Xie Lan and saluted.

None of them dared to raise their heads.

Those who were some of the warriors and bodyguards who had previously escorted Emperor Fu Qing to the Arcadia Inn. They can know, who is the figure who is currently walking into the palace, although wearing a men's clothes with a mask, but the girl's violet eyes that they will never forget. The figure that had previously saved them as well.

The current situation in the palace was completely chaotic, even though many of them were working hard to restore conditions within the palace, still, no significant change was caught by her eyes.

As far as her eyes could see, what she saw was not much different from what had happened before she left the palace.

At this rate, it would likely take a very long time to rebuild and restore the palace.

Walking further afield, a rough sigh rang out from Fu Xie Lan's lips.

Her steps suddenly stopped, followed by the others.

"What is it, honey?" asked Gu Yi turning to the side where the girl was standing.

Fu Xie Lan only glanced in the direction the man was at. Without replying, she scanned her surroundings as if looking for something.

"Do you need something...."

"You, come here," said Fu Xie Lan, cutting Gu Yi's sentence. The girl spoke to a maid who seemed to be not far from her.

"What can I do for you, Princess?" said the servant in a low voice and slightly bent body.

"Stand up, don't bend over like that," said Fu Xie Lan again.

"B-but..."

"This is an order."

Immediately the servant obeyed Fu Xie Lan's words even though she looked reluctant.

"Gather some men for me," the girl asked again.

"Eh?" The servant was confused not knowing what to say.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, there was a very clear frown on Gu Yi's forehead. At the same time, the man turned his head towards Fu Xie Lan, with a completely unsightly expression. Even though he was wearing a mask, it didn't cover his entire face. So that allows people to see how his expression.

The same thing happened to the others.

"Immediately carry out the order, gather some men for this princess," Gu Yi ordered in a cold voice.

"As well as a coffin for them," he added later.
