Shanaela took a seat beside her and lifted her teacup for a light sip.
She spoke indifferently, "As you've also seen in the newspaper, Wu Heng clearly wants to give you some advantage in the competition for the throne."
Brittany furrowed her brows slightly, "What do you mean?"
"You should bind yourself to him if you hope to take back the throne."
Brittany shook her head, "I have talked about this with Island Lord Wu Heng, but he seems to have no intention of helping me fight for the throne. He only said that as long as I stay on Gold and Silver Island, he will ensure my safety."
Shanaela smiled gently, "You could promise him a bit more. Given his age and the speed at which he's increasing his level, he will definitely reach level 18. Any kingdom and royal family would want to recruit him. It wouldn't be a loss for you to make some early promises, after all, those things will be yours only if you ascend the throne."
