The elders watched the two with confused faces. "Your Majesty, do you know her by any chance?"
"Your Majesty?" Hao Ya looked back at Alex with a shocked look of her own. "What's… going on?"
"Please leave her, she's not someone suspicious," Alex said.
"But your Majesty, she says she came from the Central Continent," one of the elders said. "She's clearly lying."
Alex looked at the girl and wondered why she was openly revealing that information. Was it perhaps…
"Sister Hao, I hear you were looking for Scarlet. Unfortunately, she isn't available right now, but if I may be of any help, please tell me," Alex said.
"Why did they call you Your Majesty?" Hao Ya asked.
"What else would we call him?" one of the elders asked. "He is the King of the Southern Continent, appointed by her Majesty herself."
Hao Ya's eyes went wide. "So, you are the King instead of the Phoenix?" she asked. "Then please help me."
