(MC POV)
"Can't believe I'm here again after leaving it not so long ago," I muttered, looking down at the Dong's palace.
My robes shifted slightly, "Master can always just send me in… I can just sneak in there with the pill and slip it into the King's mouth without anyone else being the wiser."
I chuckled, "Oh, Xun Guan, whoever said I was going to do this stealthily? This is also the perfect opportunity for me to further Queen Guiying's request of me."
"Understood, Master. Please use me as a shield if needed."
I patted my chest, "Oh you worry too much Xun Guan. Everything will be fine."
"Apologies Master… But after being with you for all this time… I don't think things will go that smoothly…"
I scoffed, "It can't be that bad now, could it?"
"Two countries are at war for you… Master…"
"... Point taken. I'll be careful this time."
"That would be for the best Master. Please rely on me whenever you need to."
