Chapter 274: The City of Xiulan
After Mei Ling told us the story of how she found herself in this situation, Melina and I were about to blow up in anger.
However, we quickly composed ourselves when she gathered the courage to ask us who we were.
Melina and I looked at each other as if we were both wondering if we should tell her the truth or not.
Honestly, my gut feeling was telling me that Ling was a good person who had fallen victim to the whole system the emperor had created, and I was sure that Melina thought the same.
At this point in time, I had met nobles from almost every single country, and I could tell that Ling was one of the most humble ones.
"We’ll tell you later. For now, just call us Blue and Red..." said Melina, referring to her as Blue and me as Red.
’Good idea. People might recognize our names now that our engagement has been announced to the world...’ I thought.
Even if the Guanghua Kingdom wasn’t allied with any of the other countries in their current state, it wasn’t far-fetched to think that they still kept up with their political affairs.
"All you have to know is that we are taking care of the devil that destroyed this country," Melina continued.
"The devil?" Ling asked, her expression turning to terror.
However, we didn’t have time to elaborate any further as we noticed that the cart in front of us had made it to the gates.
