While the guard went to inform the emperor, Alex and Helen struck up a conversation with Shurin.
Shurin spoke more than the two combined, clearly curious about what both of them had been doing this entire time. She didn't know Helen like she did Alex, but even so, she had met Helen back when she had stayed in the palace for a couple of days.
Shurin could not believe it at all when Alex told her that he was in not one, not two, but rather 3 different continents in just the past 30 years. That sort of information wasn't something that could be digested so easily at all, especially by someone who hadn't left the capital city their entire life.
Shurin asked a few more questions to find out more, but before Alex could answer, the guard returned. And with him was another familiar face.
Alex turned towards the woman that had appeared and smiled. "Princess Xumei, I see you're doing quite well," he said as he looked at the woman who couldn't hide her shock at all.
