Amidst the sounds of laughter and joy, the relaxed expressions on the faces of Qin Xiao and Shinnosuke instantly froze upon hearing Princess Ren's words.
Believing that the princess was about to bring up some grave matter to consult them on, their expressions turned unusually solemn, filled with gravity and anticipation. Qin Xiao furrowed his brows slightly, a flash of focused light darting through his eyes as if pondering the momentous question the princess was about to pose. He leaned forward slightly to show the importance he attached to her words, while also assuming a posture ready to answer any inquiry. At the same time, Shinnosuke put away his usual mischievous demeanor, his clear, large eyes gazing earnestly at Princess Ren, his tiny frame seemingly imbued with a sense of solemnity.
Princess Ren's clear gaze swept over the two of them, as if seeing right through their inner tension and expectations. The corners of her lips curved upward into a faint smile as she said softly, "There is no need for you to be so tense; I merely wished to understand some interesting matters."
