As they spoke, Shi Xiong and Shan Zhi walked into the pavilion, full of shame.
They came before Shi Feiyang, bowed, and apologized with voices full of remorse, "Grand Squad Leader, we indulged in wine and almost spoiled your important affairs; we truly deserve to die." Then, the two exchanged a glance and continued, "Grand Squad Leader, Princess Gugela has deep affection for you. If you could join hands with the Princess, it would undoubtedly be a great fortune for our Heroic Sakura Association. We hope you reconsider."
At this moment, accompanied by several maids, Princess Gugela gracefully arrived at the inn and ascended to the third-floor pavilion to meet Shi Feiyang.
In her eyes was a hint of shyness mingled with expectation. She said softly, "Hero Shi, I have come especially to invite you to the Royal Palace for breakfast. I hope you would honor me with your presence."
