"I'm sorry, Dad..." Feng Guang was a little embarrassed. She had left in such a hurry that she had forgotten to inform her father.
"It's good that you're alright." His Highness the King then looked at Herman, "So Bishop Herman is here too."
“I was worried when I saw Her Highness leaving the palace, so I followed her to protect her,” Herman replied, neither humble nor arrogant. His straightforward language had the charm to convince people that what he said was true.
Feng Guang heard her own heart pounding again. She still didn't understand why she would have such a strong emotional reaction even though he wasn't looking at her.
"Wendy, thank you for your trouble, Bishop," His Majesty said apologetically, before his gaze fell upon the two strangers. "And who are these two?"
"Your Highness, good day." Arno placed his right hand on his chest, bowed, and then said, "I am Prince Richard's attendant, and the one who is unconscious is our Prince Richard."
The king easily noticed the badge ring on Arno's hand, and he quickly put on a polite smile, "So you are the prince of the Spring Kingdom. It seems you have encountered some trouble."
“Indeed.” Arno said respectfully, “Your Majesty, Prince Richard has drowned and is unconscious. I sincerely beg you to provide us with assistance.”
“Of course, it is my duty.” The king had no reason to refuse. He raised his hand, and the soldiers behind him came over. He ordered, “Bring Prince Richard back to the palace safely. He will be our most honored guest.”
"Yes, Your Majesty." The soldiers accepted the order and began to move the unconscious man from the ground.
Feng Guang frowned in dissatisfaction, but there was nothing she could do. She only wanted to resolve Richard's matter, but unexpectedly, her attendant Arno appeared first, and in the end, her father also came to join in the fun.
In order to maintain His Majesty the King's image in the eyes of the public, Feng Guang had to be sensible and refrain from losing his temper, which was truly a very troublesome matter.
The king, having taken a few steps, turned back. "Wendy."
"They're here..." Listless Fengguang followed behind her father, having no choice but to go home with him.
Finally, he couldn't help but look back. Herman was following behind the group at a leisurely pace. When he felt Feng Guang looking at him, he also looked at Feng Guang. Their eyes met, and in the end, Feng Guang blushed and turned her head away, no longer daring to look at him.
Back at the palace, she heard from the gossipy maids that Prince Richard, being a bachelor, had many maids secretly in love with him, dreaming of one day becoming a phoenix and the queen of the Spring Kingdom.
Feng Guang didn't care much about these things. After hearing that Richard had woken up, she stayed even more in her room, afraid of running into Richard by chance. Richard was the male protagonist of this fairy tale, so she thought it was better to avoid him.
But sometimes man proposes, God disposes.
After finishing her story about Richard, the gossipy maid casually mentioned something else: "I heard that Bishop Herman is bringing the saintess to the palace today."
Her mind, which had been wandering freely in the world, immediately returned to her senses. She looked up again and asked, "You mean... Bishop Herman is going to bring the saintess to our palace?"
