There was nothing much to say about the group's meeting with the king.
Actually, it was so cliché and by the book that Haruki and Feng couldn't help but glance at each other, silently wondering if all the people in this luxurious throne room were following a script.
The royals were beautiful, the ministers seemed suspicious, and the king appeared to genuinely wish for the group to protect their kingdom from all the harm while also repeating that he wouldn't force them into anything.
When Feng couldn't hold it in anymore and expressed how they were not given a choice when they were summoned, the king even bowed apologetically!
Pressured by the nobles' mutterings about how the king actually bowed and how they should tread carefully when interacting with the transmigrators, Feng shut up with a dark face.
