While Zadin was in the middle of studying, he suddenly heard three knocks on his door.
He immediately asked who was behind the knocks, but no one responded. He prepared himself, thinking that an intruder might be outside his door. He waited for almost three minutes, ready to counterattack, when suddenly someone laughed, and a familiar female voice echoed. It was the Princess. Zadin grew annoyed at the Princess's behavior and asked, 'Would you take responsibility if I attacked you and you got hurt, bringing shame to our entire sect? The Princess forcibly opened the door and retorted, 'If you're so fearful of my brother's edict, why not return home and spend your life cowering in bed? Zadin stepped forward, furious."You think I won't hurt you? Don't push me, Princess! "
"You're extremely cautious about food, fearing poisoning, yet now you want me dead? Your emotions are incredibly contradictory and manipulative."
"Do not forget, You were under my protection, not me under yours." Zadin stormed off, leaving behind a note: " Meet us at the baozi shop tomorrow if you still wish to join. Otherwise, forget it."The Princess sighed, recalling her brother's, the Emperor's, words: 'You must grow stronger. I don't want to lose you too. Once powerful, you can break the seal controlling your true abilities.''' As the sun rose, the Princess tearfully bid farewell to her nanny. She then boarded her carriage, heading towards the destination indicated in Zadin's note. Upon arrival, she found Zadin's carriage, but to avoid disappointing the Princess, Firah accompanied her instead. Firah immediately spoke to the Princess, "Please understand, Your Highness, my martial brother's temper can be unpredictable; he often loses control." "The Princess smiled, 'I'm accustomed to such behavior; my brother's similar. I actually enjoy teasing him – his angry expressions amuse me.'''
On their journey, they ran into Wulan Sect cultivators. The squad leader's condescending, goading them into a fight.Firah emerged, grinning. "That's it? You're the tough guy? Disappointing." "The guy's temper flared, and he reached for his sword. But before things escalated, Zadin flashed his Honor Level – Peak 21. Game over; they were outmatched." Though intimidated, the cultivator salvaged his dignity. 'I fear not death,' he declared.Just as he lunged, the Princess emerged, her voice firm. 'Harm Zadin, and your entire clan and temple will face annihilation.'''
Chastened, he swiftly sheathed his sword and offered a deferential greeting to the Princess before retreating in embarassment and fear.
"You're making it seem like you really don't want me hurt ," Zadin said playfully.
"Don't assume things. I did it because I don't want you to be a burden on our journey," the Princess snapped.
"You're really blunt. I was actually thinking of putting you on my future wife list, you'd be my number six."
"Six wives, six minutes – your record, right? " the Princess teased.
"Enough. Our destination awaits. Shall we proceed? " Firah said.
The Princess flipped her tongue out, teasing Zadin, then jumped into the Carriage. Zadin smirked as the Princess playfully teased him before climbing aboard. After hours of traveling they finally reached their destination. Upon arrival, a green robot welcomed them at the Alliance entrance .
"Hey, you're here ! I'm bumbum, your go- to robot."
"Hey Bumbum, I'm Firah. Love the name !"
"Please place your thumb on the scanner."
Hearing this, Firah proceeded to scan her thumbprint .
"Authentication confirmed: Firah Ghi, Honour Level 20, age 16. Passed, please proceed to the signing tower."
"Is this your usual protocol, Bumbum?" Firah asked.
"Please place your thumb on the scanner."–robot
"It seems he's operating within his designated parameters." Zadin said while placing his thumb on the scanner.
"Authentication successful:Zadin Lord, Honour Level 21(peak), age 16. Clearance granted. Proceed to the Signing Tower."
