At first, they had given up and thought that they had to deal with all of the mess by themselves. That's why, when the morning of the seventh day a carriage with the Imperial Palace's emblem arrived, they had been so shocked.
Moreover, when they caught sight of the people alighted, their eyes widened in disbelief. "C—Captain! Princess!" At that moment, behind An Zhengnan's back, they seemed to have seen a pair of angel wings with halo shining on top of his head.
One of An Zhengnan's knight personnel shed tears at the thought of his Captain's sacrifice. He was supposed to guard the Royal Palace, but upon hearing their misfortune, he had thrown his job away to help them. He spread his arms open and cried out, "Captain!"
The joyous and touching reunion shattered upon An Zhengnan's scowl. "Get away from me."
Just like that, the halo fell down and the angel wings withered away. Not enough with that, he even snorted. "What? You think I come here to help you?"
