We Were All Young Once

The Fifth Princess of the Kingdom?

Philippa's words made everyone present frown, then they all turned to look at Wu Heng.

They were already investigating a city in the Yeke Kingdom.

And he had a princess hidden on his ship.

With everyone looking at him, Wu Heng paused mid-bite and explained, "The Yeke Kingdom is at war. The Fifth Princess fled to Treasure Island. Executive Shiraque and I submitted a report to the Association Headquarters about this."

"How did she come along?" Tapani asked.

"She heard the Association was investigating Netarei City and slipped into the fleet. By then, the ships were already at sea, so we could only let her come with us. I thought nothing major would happen this time, so I didn't tell you," Wu Heng added. "Don't worry. She has nothing to do with what happened in the city, and she hasn't taken part in the Kingdom's conflict."

On the way back, Philippa had roughly explained the Fifth Princess's situation.

Facing an army's attack, she had even been willing to offer herself as a hostage to save the Association members.

How should they put it?

This Fifth Princess seemed more like an idealist who had rarely encountered the darkness of the world, someone who still held faith and a sense of justice in her heart.

Janvito stroked his beard. "Sigh! Be more careful next time. How could you let someone sneak in?"

"Exactly. It's hard to justify an outsider sneaking into a fleet on a mission."

"Island Master Wu Heng, you're such a Great Detective. Could you really have failed to notice? Don't tell me you just thought she was pretty!"

"Island Master Wu Heng is still young. What's so strange about that?"

"We were all young once. Pretty girls, you know!"

Everyone laughed and joked
