Wen Carol laughed briefly, her voice tinged with a sense of suffocation.
She patted Li Changzhou's hand still clutched around her neck, signaling him to let go.
Li Changzhou released his grip. The other party was composed in the face of danger, and he was equally calm.
"Di'en sent me here," Wen Carol rubbed her neck.
"What's the reason for this delay?" Yang Qinglan asked again.
"To prevent you from arriving on the agreed date. Once overdue, the Empire will have a reason to continue waging war against the Duchy."
"If you want to be overdue, why not just kill the Princess?" Turquoise Pool asked.
"Do you really belong to this world?" Wen Carol slightly furrowed her brow, "If the King of Lestein Duchy dies, the Princess becomes the heir to the Duchy. By then, if the Princess marries Di'en, he can rightfully take over the Duchy and its National Guardian Divine Machine."
"What happened to my father?!" Beia Triss stood up anxiously, almost instinctively.
