Liu Junjie, the King of Huainan, proved to be less intellectually impressive than she had expected. It seemed better if Peng Liling could stay out of his way as soon as possible.
"My Queen, what's the deal with deploying all those troops? Did you manage to pull off your mission?" Liu Junjie, with a narrowed gaze and a wicked smirk playing on his lips. "Have you finally quenched that burning ambition of yours and let out all that pent-up anger?"
Peng Liling responded with a sarcastic laugh, saying, "My mission was indeed a success. I must apologize for having to use the king's authority to accomplish it. Neither of us fully understood what we were getting into, so maybe I had higher expectations for this mission than I should have. But, in reality, I didn't have any other options. I had to act swiftly to safeguard this kingdom."
