Mo Waner smiled faintly: "It shows that Your Highness is quite beloved by everyone."
"I asked you to come later, not to hear flattery."
Arthur shot Mo a glance and ignored the uninhibited Ji Xiaodao. After remaining silent for a moment, he spoke softly: "What needs to be said was something already decided the day I was chosen to represent us in Griffin. But… sigh, what I mean is, if I don't return this time… I hope the Empire won't lose its stability because of it."
Mo frowned slightly: "Your Highness…"
"It's not entirely impossible, my friend."
Arthur raised his hand to interrupt Mo and said solemnly: "Although the probability is small, Griffin is not the Shaven Empire. For me to head there while tensions are still unresolved… saying there's no risk would be unrealistic."
Mo nodded silently.
"To be honest, I've always had this subtle, unreasonable premonition."
