The Protector General nodded, then replied to the Crown Prince's question, "This subject has verified the truth of the rumor by visiting the sacred temple and confirming the identity of Great General Feng's fiancée."
He paused, took a deep breath, then added heavily, "This Miss Bai is the same person as the famous Goddess, Fairy Bai. The golden statue enshrined in the temple looks identical to her."
The moment his words fell, gasps filled the room.
The Crown Prince's hand, which was clenching the teacup, trembled slightly. His expression was filled with disbelief and fear, then gradually changed into resignation.
He closed his eyes, and his fingers slowly loosened around the teacup.
After a long moment of silence, he finally spoke, "It's over. There is no way for us to keep the Liang Empire anymore. With the Goddess and Heaven on his side, the Feng Army will be undefeated in this world."
Hearing this, the Protector General and the envoys looked at him with sadness.
