'This old dickhead agrees with the opinions of his Ministers. After all, it truly would be a waste to give so much Territory to a family that's seemingly on their last legs.

'Of course, if he could openly dispose of us, he probably would've done that already. But since that outcome would not do any favors for his reputation, he had hence decided to go about it in a roundabout manner. In other words, he's about to send Li Yan to her death.'

So, with careful consideration, I have found you the perfect target for which to make your debut."
