Duke Bard followed the cue, smiled, and said, "Irene, does Your Highness, Saleen, have the intention of joining Holy Rock City in attacking the Tanggulasi Empire?"
"Duke, you will have to discuss this with my King yourself. The only way to get to Tanggulasi from Metatrin is through Luolan."
Although Irene did not hold a rank of nobility in the past, she was still a member of a noble family. With regards to such probing questions, she knew that the right thing to do was to not give an outright answer. If she had given the wrong answer, Saleen would be unhappy.
"You can pass through Laiyin Duchy as well," Duke Bard said with a smile. His expression was a friendly one and it was as if his dispute with Irene just now never happened.
"Provided Sikeqinya is agreeable, otherwise wouldn't we be giving Holy Rock City trouble?" Irene replied calmly.
