"The position of Mingde Hall's master carries tremendous weight in the empire. Everyone wants to win Mingde Hall over. Unfortunately, it is simply too important. Father once decreed that no member of the imperial family was to have any contact with Mingde Hall. Anyone who violated that order would be severely punished."
"That order has already become a law of the Sun Moon Empire. No one can cross that line. Even though I am the Crown Prince, Father would never allow me to contact Mingde Hall. I cannot even send one of my people into it."
"If I really allowed you to go, searching for a soul master with an angel martial soul would inevitably cause a stir. If someone with an agenda investigated afterward, wouldn't I be dragged down with you?"
"I am already under considerable pressure. Those brothers of mine have been eyeing my position all along. They would never let an opportunity like this to undermine me slip by."
