Li Jiya had always concealed Prince Elrado's identity from Yan Xing, and Yan Xing pretended not to know.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yan Xing led the Elves and the Duchy's secret agents out of the city.
With the cooperation of the Guild's Mercenaries stationed at the northern city gate and outside the city, the group exited smoothly.
Once safety was confirmed, the head of the secret agents escorted the remaining agents and the Elves north.
Yan Xing returned to the city with Li Jiya.
"Thank you..." Li Jiya, having completed the mission, sincerely thanked Yan Xing.
Yan Xing responded, "No need to thank me... I'm paid to do the job. The job's done; when can we settle the account?"
Although Yan Xing had charged a high price for this mission, Li Jiya knew that the price paid by the Rose Court was insignificant compared to the Duchy's interests and what had been sacrificed for them.
