That princess was quite tempted. Although she didn’t know what this future Young City Lord looked like, the term "young" suggested he was not yet an adult—which was certainly better than marrying a group of old men later on. Most importantly, the girls here were allowed to hold power. However, out of maidenly modesty, she did not speak up.
She remained silent, but her elder brother, the Crown Prince, made the decision for her. He left her behind immediately, along with her 30% share of resources, claiming it would serve as her dowry. He noted that when she eventually married, the imperial court would send over an additional batch of dowry items. This was, in effect, the best way to establish a relationship with the mysterious Yanhuang City.
The Crown Prince knew that the future Young City Lord of Yanhuang City was none other than me—that rogue of a boy. He believed he had an excellent relationship with me, and having his sister here as an undercover agent made it even more perfect.
