Chapter 658 (1/2)

Accidental Discovery (2)

“Finally, they’re here!”

When the line of carriages appeared outside the east gates, Princess Longji knew she was at the right place. There weren’t many carriages entering the gates today, only the Ai La entourage travelled on this scale.

At the same time, they all bore flags belonging to the Ai La Empire.

“Hi, are you all the entourage of the Ai La princess?”

Princess Longji decided to confirm with them, it was better to be careful.

“Yes we are! And you are…” asked someone who looked like a palace official from the entourage.

“I am Longji of Vermilion Bird, I am here to welcome the princess to our empire,” said Princess Longji with a bow.

Longji? Could it be…

“Are you Princess Longji? I can’t believe you came to greet us, we are absolutely honored!” said the official immediately, a little panic in his tone.

It was obvious this official had heard Princess Longji’s name. He heard she was a very powerful figure at Vermilion Bird, very different from the ordinary princess. He was shocked to see her here to personally welcome his people.

The official thought it must be a coincidence. She might just be staying for a moment, he didn’t think his people were that significant.

The princess? That’s impossible, she never left her home. Even the people of their own empire didn’t know of the little princess. If she hadn’t been sent on this trip, some of their people might not know of her existence.

Unless our princess is different?

No way, she’s just a child. She’s always sticking to that mysterious gentleman.

What about the gentleman? Unless she’s here for him? No, if Princess Longji was here for him, she would have mentioned him already.

Within this entourage, the princess was the only one who knew Ye Lang’s identity, everyone else just called him Master or Sir while the princess called him Brother.

The emperor told them not to ask questions about him, they should just do their jobs well!

The Ai La emperor did not announce Ye Lang’s identity, thinking that it would attract unnecessary trouble. Plus there would be no benefit to him, that was why he decided it should be a secret.

That was probably also why almost no one knew that Ye Lang had been to Ai La.

If news got out, Princess Longji and Coldblood Five would guess that Ye Lang was among this entourage. At the same time, they would send their forces looking for Ye Lang to the south of their border, not north.

“It is my duty to be here, this is very normal! May I ask, is Her Highness in the carriage?” asked PRincess Longji.

“Yes!” said the official.

“Could you invite her out please? I need to be sure,” said Princess Longji.

“About that… I’ll try…” said the official, sweating.
