As a princess, Nina still held some prestige within the palace. Although she had disappeared for over thirty years, people still treated her with courtesy. Walking at the front, she led Cheng Ziang through the corridors to reach the palace's Council Hall. This was where the queen and the elders conducted their affairs. It was also where the queen typically handled her political tasks. If there were no exceptions, the queen would stay here most of the time.
After having Cheng Ziang wait outside, Nina turned on her heel and entered the Council Hall to inform the Queen of Earth's envoy's arrival.
At this time, Cheng Ziang was much more than just the acting captain of the Advance Team. He was here as the special envoy from headquarters visiting Queen Lilith, the supreme ruler of Ilanadale. Perhaps it was for this very reason that Cheng Ziang appeared composed, not displaying the slightest sign of unfamiliarity, as if he were at home.
