Zhan Luoyang, daughter of the Zhan Family of the Ebony Kingdom, was the fiancee of the Crown Prince. If nothing went wrong, she was to be the next Empress of the entire Continent.
There was not a single person in the continent that wouldn't be polite to her, and the same went for Alex.
"My apologies. Had I known that you were coming, I might have left with the Azure King to welcome you," she said.
"Ah, that was my mistake. I apologize," the king said quickly. "Lady Zhan has been in somewhat of a closed cultivation these days, so I didn't think to bring her along."
"It's alright," Alex said. "I would be fine even if no one came to welcome me."
He looked at the woman in front of him once again and noticed something. "You seem to be in a hurry to go somewhere, lady Zhan. I hope I'm not stopping anything urgent."
