[Anle] Princess's Residence, lower shelter of the [Starry Sky Palace].
Li Guo's body was placed inside a special upright life-support pod... the defenses of the entire lower shelter had been raised to maximum.
With Valia leading the way, Boss Luo easily arrived at the location of the life-support pod.
Dozens of senior medical staff were closely monitoring the data on the instruments... Al-Gabi, the steward of the Princess's Residence, was overseeing everything here.
"Al-Gabi, I've brought Lord Li Wei."
Al-Gabi adjusted her glasses and nodded, her face devoid of any unnecessary expression. "Good. Your Highness should be waking up around today. Hurry."

"Al-Gabi!" Valia immediately frowned. "What do you mean by that? Lord Li Wei came alone this time, without even bringing Mr. Vinasis! If he meant Your Highness harm, why would he do that? Don't go too far!"

"Al-Gabi, I'm not dead yet!"
The echoing voice carried authority...
Al-Gabi's shoulders immediately tensed. She
