The guards stationed in the rear swiftly stepped forward upon seeing the situation.
"Stand back!"
She barked sharply, then released her tightly clenched hands and steadied herself against the wall.
Next, she withdrew her gaze, lowered her head to look at the item in her hand, and as if it suddenly scorched her, she shoved it all back into the drawer! She then frantically locked all the cabinets!
"No one is allowed to speak of anything tonight! You must not utter a single word to anyone!"
She eyed the guards before her, every word forced through her teeth, making them sound incredibly sinister and fierce.
The guards, all martial arts experts, involuntarily stepped back two paces in response to her words.
"Go!"
She lifted her feet.
But just as she reached the threshold, a dark figure blocked her path from the side.
"Where are you going?"
Princess Rong was so terrified that her courage dissipated, and she recoiled her foot, almost falling to the ground!
