Chi Jiao set aside his doubts for the moment and spoke.
"If Her Highness commands, this king shall naturally comply. Dare I ask what Her Highness desires of me here?"
Qin Shou nodded with a smile, "First, thank you, Lord Chi. Regarding my presence here, I ask that you keep it confidential."
"Of course, Your Highness. Please, let us continue this discussion inside the hall."
Only then did Chi Jiao realize that leaving the princess waiting outside the castle was far too disrespectful.
"Very well, Lord Chi, lead the way."
"No, no, Your Highness, please proceed first."

The golden, resplendent palace was no less magnificent than the castle of the Female Merfolk City Lord from before.
