"No! I can't accept your proposal, my daughter! I won't let you endure this for me!" Luo Qiu's cries echoed in the chamber.
Wang Ying's determination was unwavering as she addressed her mother, her voice steady. "But I can't let you suffer in my place either. He's targeting you to get to me, and I won't let that happen."
Wang Jian's grin widened, his gaze fixated on Wang Ying. "Seems like you've made up your mind."
"Yes," Wang Ying responded firmly.
Unexpectedly, Luo Qiu fell silent. She no longer attempted to sway her daughter's decision.
Wang Jian interjected, his tone holding a touch of satisfaction. "Your first task will be to oversee your faction within the Empire and bolster our defenses against the attacks from the Barbarian Race."
