"Corey, you can continue visiting and staying in touch with your parents in the VR universe. Tell them whatever you need to reassure them that you and your family are safe. Don't hold back on my account. The Southern Princess knowing what I'm up to won't change anything. I am sure someone as intelligent as her will find other ways to get what she wants."
I heard Corey out till I saw the storm inside her settled, and she was clear headed enough to listen to reason. I gave her permission to do whatever was necessary to ease her parents' worries. It was my attempt to quietly nudge in the right direction, one that had nothing to do with storming palaces or trading blows with princesses.
Seeing her nod in understanding, I said, "Let us return to the city."
