The moment a longsword appeared in the Princess's hand, he was ready to fight.
The Princess's skirt fluttered like a butterfly, and she moved swiftly to his front.
Wu Heng ducked to dodge the attack, raised his hand to seize her wrist, and used a bit of force, causing the longsword to clatter to the ground.
The Princess winced in pain, wanting to strike back and escape.
But she found that her body was stiff in place, unable to move even her fingertips.
It was as though she had lost control of her body, leaving only her consciousness inside.
The Princess could no longer maintain her composure; her face was filled with terror and unease.
The person in front of her must be a high-level professional.
His presence here meant that the Second Prince might never return, and she herself faced the threat of death.
“What exactly is your purpose?” the Princess asked coldly.
The strands of her hair on her forehead were damp with cold sweat, sticking to her skin.
Wu Heng said nothing and looked at her with some surprise.
Not surprised that she struck at him, but at the swordsmanship she used when attacking–a very familiar feeling.
Greyhawk Swordsmanship.
Back when he was in Black Stone Town, he had obtained a Swordsmanship Book.
However, as time passed, opportunities to use this swordsmanship were rare, as it was not as effective as firearms or magic.
So, he seldom used it.
Only occasionally during training sessions with the maids.
The Princess had initiated with this swordsmanship.
No idea where she learned it from.
Hearing her speak, Wu Heng also snapped back to reality and said, “Aren't you going to call the guards?”
“Do you want to find an excuse to kill me?” the Princess faced his gaze and asked directly.
After being restrained.
The murderous intent in the Princess's eyes had disappeared, and not much hatred could be seen.
What was more evident was a sense of seriousness and unease akin to that of a captive.
“How did you figure out that I am not the Second Prince?” Wu Heng asked.
“Just some minor details,” said the Princess. She then counter-questioned, “This means, the Second Prince has died by your hand?”
“Yes,” Wu Heng said flatly.
Her gaze sharply narrowed then quickly returned to normal as she said, “So, you came here to kill me?”
“That's one way to put it.”
“You really don't need to take this risk. I'm of no importance in their entire system now. With the Second Prince gone, I naturally lose my status as the Princess,” she continued.
“It seems, your affection for one another wasn't deep.”
The Princess offered a stiff smile, “Why, want to hear some royal secrets?”
“Not interested,” Wu Heng replied and then fell silent.
The Princess still stood stiffly in place, her eyes fixated on him, as if pondering something.
Then she said, “What do I need to do to not have to die?”
Wu Heng looked up, “There's indeed no need to kill you.”
“What must I offer?” the Princess asked sternly.
“You seem to know a lot about the Second Prince; I need you to help me deceive those ministers loyal to him,” Wu Heng looked directly into her eyes, speaking seriously.
“That's all? I can agree to that,” the Princess readily accepted.
“I need you to sign a Slavery Contract with me, a type of contract you should have heard of. If I die, the least you'd be is in a vegetative state,” Wu Heng stated.
“Uncle, she might not know what a vegetative state means,” Xiao Xiao's voice came through by his ear.
The Princess's gaze hardened; the pupils swiftly scanning the area, searching for the source of the sound.
Wu Heng then explained, “A vegetative state means, your spirit is harmed, and henceforth, you can only lay paralysed in bed.”
The Princess did not find the source, returned her gaze, and said, “With your strength and status, you shouldn't lack women, right? Having a Princess as your slave, is it to satisfy some peculiar hobby?”
“Your status as a Princess holds no privileges here,” Wu Heng continued. “Be straightforward, agree or not, else I might think you're just stalling for time.”
The Princess pondered for a moment, took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, “Two conditions. First, let me know who you are. Second, ensure my future life and status. Meet these two, and I will agree to your demand.”
After speaking, she added, “With your capabilities, you should be able to keep your promises, right?”
Wu Heng nodded slightly, “Alright.”
Commander's Mansion.
The Illuminating Stones emitted a hazy halo, reflecting off the carpet in the center of the hall.
Around the walls, various Shields and Blades hung, alongside flags of the Kingdom.
Commander Russell was seated aside, watching the hurrying Administrator Edwin enter. “Edwin, hadn't you gone back? Why are you here again?”
Administrator Edwin sat down opposite, saying, “On the way back, I pondered, and still feel that the Second Prince is somewhat different.”
Commander's gaze sharpened, “Different how?”
“Just brief contact, I can't pinpoint it, but having been by his side since he was young, I always feel there's something amiss,” the Administrator said, frowning.
“Let's gather some people, we'll see His Highness again.”
The Administrator shook his head, “This is a serious matter. His Highness escaping back after being attacked is a covert affair. If my conjecture is wrong, such a fanfare might leak information. How about you accompany me to meet His
Highness tomorrow to confirm it.”
Commander paused for a moment and then nodded, “Alright, let's talk tomorrow; it's a bit late today.”
“Okay, then I'll go back first,” the Administrator left without another word.
