Perhaps because the mention of several princes and the Eleventh Princess had emboldened her, Xiaolian’s spirit surged, causing her to temporarily forget her fear. She glared at the two men, and though her clothes were soaked with cold sweat, her imposing aura did not waver in the slightest.

The military advisor had mentioned that many high-ranking figures had recently arrived in Beisha City and that they should keep a low profile. Could he have been referring to these so-called princes and princesses?
His inner unease grew, and the thought of retreating began to take root. Seeing this, the steward snapped at him, “Heizi, don’t you go getting any foolish ideas! Even if it’s impossible for a princess to appear here, if she truly were one, she has already seen our faces. If we let her go, do you think she’ll let us off?”
