"I wouldn't dare. The stars bear witness to my loyalty to Your Highness." At last, Ren Xiaowei, the senior agent who had once remained unfazed even before a mountain collapse, yielded for the first time.
"Hmph~ Since that's the case, why are you stopping me?" The Seventh Princess's voice was icy, carrying the deep authority of one accustomed to command.
As the leader of an important unit, she understood the principle of striking while the iron was hot.
"I'm sorry, Princess, but I still cannot let you enter. The Capital Star Region is more than ten times as dangerous as other regions... If a member of the imperial family falls into the hands of the Federation's intelligence agency, the consequences are something the Gador Empire neither wishes nor can afford to bear."
Ren Xiaowei finally gave up trying to reason with the Seventh Princess and chose the most helpless course of action.
"What if I force my way in?" The Seventh Princess narrowed her beautiful eyes, a faintly cold and alluring charm unexpectedly surfacing within them.
Yet Ren Xiaowei kept his eyes on his nose and his mind on his heart throughout, lowering his head and refusing to meet her gaze. At that moment, he was like a dull block of wood, not saying a word.
"I will risk my life to stop you, Princess. There are at least twenty x Intelligence Agency agents on this planet. We may be exposed at any moment. I must live up to the trust Your Highness has placed in me."
The Seventh Princess's gaze finally turned cold. She lifted her chin proudly and looked at him with her disguised face of a married woman, her upper body straightened to perfectly display her graceful figure.
"Aren't you afraid I'll have my brother punish you?"
