Su Xinyi's mind spun rapidly as she lifted her gaze. By the time she looked up, her expression had shifted. With a fearless demeanor, she said briskly, "Your Majesty, I cannot guarantee victory in such matters. I can only promise to give my utmost efforts. Your Majesty commands the extraordinary among men, and hides dragons and tigers within his ranks. I dare not take an arrogant stance. However, Your Majesty, I do have confidence, and I promise not to disgrace the royal family."
To us, the royal family…
The Emperor's mouth twitched slightly. This behavior warranted a beating and was quite consistent with what one would expect from his lineage.
"You agreed so readily - did you know about this beforehand?" The Emperor seemingly asked casually.
"I had no idea, Your Majesty. If I did, I could have prepared ahead of time. Now, I'll have to gather a team on the spot. Father, look at this ragtag group, surely You wouldn't mind taking pity on us?", Su Xinyi said with a smile.
