"Father, it's too difficult here!"
She was, after all, the Rose of the West, beloved by all, but upon arriving in the East, she encountered four rivals in a row.
In terms of talent, Cai Yan and Shenle far surpassed him; they were proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and were also extremely skilled in poetry and prose.
In terms of swordsmanship, it was even worse. It was bad enough that he was bullied by that so-called saintess, but later he found out that there was an even more ruthless Lü Qiling, who was incomparable to him.
Princess Anne couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
It's not that Anne didn't try hard enough, it's just that her enemies were too outstanding!
"What? Lin Yi actually has four beauties who are no less beautiful than you, and they're also skilled in both literature and martial arts?"
Bill III's pupils contracted, his first reaction was actually envy. This kid is young but quite the ladies' man, he actually has such good fortune with women.
Wait, what am I thinking?
Pah!
But as he thought about it, he suddenly realized something was wrong. His focus seemed to be off; he should be concerned about his daughter being bullied.
He said sheepishly, "What a philandering Emperor Lin Yi! This time, Father will definitely seek justice for you and make him stop indulging in women."
Damn it!
At such a young age, he has quite the appetite, managing to monopolize four stunning beauties—it's simply outrageous!
Princess Anne rolled her eyes. She knew perfectly well what her father's current situation was like. He was already lucky to avoid being beaten up by Lin Yi, let alone seek justice.
She retorted irritably, "Father, have you forgotten that your daughter is also a woman of pleasure?"
They've already been completely taken advantage of; if Lin Yi were to take it all back, wouldn't that be like getting a free ride? That's absolutely unacceptable.
Bill III's lips twitched as he realized he had said the wrong thing again.
He abruptly changed the subject, saying seriously, " Anne, do you know why Lin Yi invited us here this time? This is an extremely sensitive matter."
He found this sudden invitation from Great Liang unreasonable.
If it weren't for the formidable strength of the Great Liang, he honestly wouldn't have bothered with it, as it made him feel extremely insecure.
Princess Anne hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "His Majesty mentioned this to me; it seems to be about the Land of the Far West, but I don't know the specifics."
Lin Yi specifically told her about this, and it was also the purpose of his visit today—to explain the situation.
" The Land of the Far West?"
Upon hearing his daughter's words, Bill III was overjoyed. He had finally gotten some information; it turned out that Lin Yi had invited them here because of this place.
I've heard of this place before, but it's separated by an endless sea, so it shouldn't have anything to do with this area. How did it get involved with the Land of the Far West?
He frowned and asked, " Anne, what exactly is the situation in this Land of the Far West? Why would Lin Yi invite kings from various countries because of it?"
"Does this Land of the Far West hold a secret?"
Ashley and Abucha, standing to the side, couldn't help but frown, beginning to ponder what was going on.
However, none of them knew anything about them, so how did Lin Yi know?
Princess Anne glanced at her father and said with some worry, "Father, according to His Majesty, the Black Skull Army that has been attacking us comes from the Land of the Far West."
However, they did not invade; they were defeated and fled here.
Black Skull Army!!!
Upon hearing this name, Bill III and the others all changed color and immediately looked up at Princess Anne.
"What? The Black Skull Army comes from the Land of the Far West?"
"They were defeated, and these are the remnants of their forces who fled here?"
The three exchanged glances, all sensing the gravity in each other's eyes. This news was simply too astonishing; it was utterly jaw-dropping.
What followed was overwhelming pressure.
A look of horror crossed Bill III's aged face as he gritted his teeth and said, " The Black Skull Army that ravaged my Northwest region is actually just a remnant force that fled here?"
This was definitely the last piece of news he wanted to hear.
It's like you've fought tooth and nail to defeat a demon king, only to be told by someone that he's just a minor character—it's utterly unacceptable to him.
This Black Skull Army is already considered ferocious, so how powerful would the being that defeats them be?
Then, as they considered contacting the Great Liang dynasty to inquire about their invitation to these Western kings, a chilling thought flashed through their minds.
The group's expressions changed drastically, and they exclaimed in unison, "Could it be that the nation that destroyed the Black Skull Army is now coming to attack?"
Damn it, this is a huge problem.
If the news is true, then the Frostwest Empire and the Great West Empire are in big trouble, and the Frostwest and the Great West Empire will be the first to be affected.
Ashley's face turned ashen, and he said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect the Black Skull Army to have such a background. If the enemy comes after them, we're in big trouble!"
No wonder the Black Skull Army suddenly appeared and immediately started fighting the Frostwest Empire; they probably want to gain a place to live.
Their fighting strength is not to be underestimated. If the mastermind behind their destruction catches up, then we'll be in real trouble.
"This is another Great Liang!" Abucha bitterly, his scalp tingling.
This is simply outrageous! With wolves on one side and tigers on the other, the Frostwest Empire is in for a tough time.
Another Great Liang?
Bill III's face stiffened. Upon reflection, he realized it was indeed true; it was simply too difficult.
He looked at his daughter. This situation probably required the help of the Great Liang, otherwise the Frostwest Empire would really have a hard time.
Another question is, what does Lin Yi want to achieve by inviting these kings?
He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, " Anne, what does Great Liang want to do? And what role does Great Liang play in all of this?"
There's definitely a conspiracy involved. He desperately needs to know some information that will determine the future of the Frostwest Empire.
Now, the only way out is probably through his own daughter.
"Father!!"
Princess Anne remained silent, offering no response for a long time.
After a long silence, she shook her head and said solemnly, "I'm sorry, Father, Anne has already been married into the Great Liang, and there are some things I cannot say!"
She was a smart woman. The Emperor had suddenly summoned her to see her father and told her about the affairs of the Land of the Far West. The meaning behind this was already clear.
That means making your own choices.
Previously, it was fine for me to tell my father some basic information, as the Emperor had tacitly approved it. However, revealing some inside information about the Great Liang would be a different matter.
These days, she has gained a better understanding of the strength of the Great Liang Empire, and the Frostwest Empire is no match for Great Liang.
