"Are you staying?"

"Mmm..." Zara muttered. She didn't dare lift her head. After hesitating for a moment, she softly replied, "The Xishan clan is large, although it suffered a serious defeat, there must be some people who survived. I am the last royalty of my clan, I..."

She looked up without avoiding Chen Mu's direct eye contact.

"There is no one strong in the clan. If you stay here, you will only be bullied."

She explained, "I am royalty."

Chen Mu noticed her stubbornness through her pale face; which was the result of the injuries underneath her mask. Even so, her face was full of pride and determination.
