Just as Feng Guang closed the door, she turned around with relief, only to be suddenly confronted by a dark, ominous tentacle. Before she could react, the tentacle was severed, followed by a painful scream.
Feng Guang stared blankly at Hermann before him, then straightened his back and stood ramrod straight. "Your Excellency, Bishop..."
She then saw behind him a group of people carrying one iron cage after another, each cage containing a half-human, half-demon creature. The creature that had just been transported was a person whose legs had turned into octopuses.
"Your Highness."
Feng Guang was truly afraid of this opening remark. She composed herself, put on a serious demeanor, and prepared to listen attentively to his teachings.
“At this time, you should be choosing your attendants.” Herman’s gaze was slightly lowered. Although he was looking at her, he never gave the impression that he intended to speak to her seriously. After all, his posture would never be at the same level as a child’s.
Feng Guang's gaze darted around, but she dared not refuse to answer his question. She murmured softly, "I don't want a personal attendant..."
"The attendants are there to protect Her Highness the Princess's safety."
“I know…” Feng Guang always makes subtle moves when she feels guilty. She tugged at the hem of her skirt and pursed her lips, saying, “I just don’t want a personal attendant…”
“Every member of the royal family needs a shield to protect themselves from danger and a sword to strike their enemies. That’s why the royal guards exist,” Herman said calmly. “Your Highness is of noble birth, and rebellious thoughts should not be present in you.”
“This isn’t rebellion…” Feng Guang looked into his dark eyes again, and couldn’t help but lower her head and change her words, “Okay… I am rebellious.”
Seeing that he admitted his mistake and corrected it should stop him from lecturing me...
"I hope Your Highness can realize how weak you are. I can't always be there when you're in danger."
"Every time I'm in danger, it's because of you..." Feeling Herman's gaze still on her, she slowly raised her hand to cover her mouth, not daring to say anything more.
Actually, what she said was quite right. The first time was with Airo, who was captured by Herman's people. The second time is now. Since the incident with Airo, Herman has begun to purge the Wizard Association members hiding in the Summer Kingdom. It is said that he has been busy for more than a month and has captured a lot of demon seeds. Many people say that he wants to make a good impression on the Pope and wait to become the next Pope.
Herman pretended not to hear Feng Guang's words. In fact, whether he heard them or not, no one could know. This man always had only one expression on his face; it would be a miracle if you could read anything from it.
Feng Guang felt immense pressure. She was certain that if Herman hadn't considered her status as a princess, he would have already locked her in the water dungeon.
Feng Guang began to look around anxiously, and finally she grabbed Herman's hand. "Your Excellency, you are injured! Shall I go and call the doctor?"
Herman glanced at his hand; on the back of it was just a scratch from a branch, with only a tiny bit of blood seeping out.
Is it necessary to call a doctor?
An awkward silence fell...
Feng Guang cautiously lowered Hermann's hand. "Your Excellency, you seem a little strange today..."
After a moment, he said, "What's strange?"
"It's quite beautiful..." Feng Guang laughed again to agree with herself, but when she saw Herman's indifferent expression, she slowly turned into a crying face. "I was wrong... I'm sorry."
