"A reason?"
Annie was stunned, feeling both anxious and angry in her heart.
Now, when a life hung in the balance, they were still leisurely asking for reasons?
Does saving a life need a reason?
"Of course saving a life needs a reason!" Xiao Chen said indifferently, "He is nothing to me, not family nor friend. Is it worth it for me to provoke a powerful enemy for his sake?"
"How... how can you say that?" Annie was furious.
"Otherwise, what should I say?" Xiao Chen looked at Annie and said, "Should I say 'at your command' and rush to save the person? Do you really think you can order me around like that?"
Upon hearing this, Annie quickly realized her mistake.
Out of urgency, her tone had been wrong, almost habitually 'ordering' Xiao Chen to save the person.
After all, as a royal princess, even the elders of the Knights of the Round Table always treated her with great respect, and she was accustomed to speaking in a commanding tone.
