“Oh, oh!” The Princess was still smiling, “My lord, you should also consider starting a family.”

“No rush, I'll wait until I reach Level 20.”

Hearing such an unruffled mention of Level 20, the Princess looked somewhat puzzled, but didn't comment any further.

She pointed at a few dishes, describing how they were made.

After dinner.

They chatted for a bit more in the living room.

Then they each returned to their own rooms.

It was clear that the Princess was becoming more talkative by the day.

She was no longer as cautious and aloof as when they first met; she even showed a playful and gossipy side.

After all, neither of them was very old.

If this were in the modern world, she'd still be in college.

Back in the bedroom.

Glenda was reading, while Bella was looking at a tablet.

Not waiting for Wu Heng to ask, Glenda immediately said, “Xiao Xiao has gone out to play, and Wen Mansha contacted you on the radio. Seeing you chatting happily with the Princess, she decided to wait until you returned.”

Wu Heng nodded and asked, “Did Wen Mansha mention what it was about?”

“We can't talk through the radio, so we couldn't ask.”

“That makes sense.” Wu Heng sat beside the radio, retracted the solar panel from outside the window, then turned on the radio and asked, “Wen Mansha, you were looking for me?”

On the other side, Wen Mansha's voice came through, “Master, Hartel used the radio device to contact me this afternoon, saying that the negotiations had been completed.”

“How did it go?”

“Hartel shared everything you instructed with them. The negotiating minister said he would write to the Second Prince to ask about it, and I expect you'll receive a letter in the next few days.”

As soon as Wen Mansha finished speaking, Hartel's voice also came through, “My lord, my lady!”

Hartel had a portable radio provided by Wu Heng and must have been guarding this frequency, hearing the two converse.

Wen Mansha said, “Since Hartel is here, why don't you speak to your master about it?”

“Yes, my lady.” Hartel then recounted everything in detail and then said, “From their attitude, it seems they've accepted the joint management of the occupied city. The only issue left is regarding the Second Prince's settlement in Lundham City.”

Wu Heng said, “The negotiating minister is the Second Prince's teacher, and they share a certain mentor-student affection. He definitely doesn't want the Second Prince to enter Lundham City as a hostage. I'll handle it well. In time, the conditions will be set, and then we can sign a ceasefire agreement in the Second Prince's name.”

Wen Mansha asked, “When it comes to signing the final agreement, do I need to go there? It seems it would be taken more seriously.”

After some thought, Wu Heng replied, “Let's see how things are at that time. It's better if you don't have to show up.”

“Alright, then we'll wait for the good news from you, master,” Wen Mansha said cheerfully.

The open and covert struggle between Lundham City and the Second Prince had also lasted a while.

Even though we always had the upper hand, there was still a sense of mental exhaustion.

It affected the development of the entire Lundham City.

Now that the Second Prince was dead, completing the rest of the plan would resolve the issue completely.

“Let's leave it at that for now. Be careful, Hartel. For all we know, the Crown Prince's men might arrange someone to sabotage the negotiations,” Wu Heng continued to instruct.

“Yes, my lord, I will be careful.”

Wen Mansha chuckled along, “Hartel's voice gets all soft when he talks to you, master.”

Hartel did not retort but remained silent.

Wu Heng said, “That's it, then. Contact me if there's any intelligence.”

“Understood, master.”

After ending the communication, Wu Heng put the microphone back.

Glenda flew over and said, “It looks like the negotiations are proceeding as we expected.”

“From the perspective of those on the Second Prince's side, there's no other option but to cooperate with Lundham City,” Wu Heng leaned back and stretched lazily.

Bella added, “There's also the Secret Cultivation Hall. Didn't the Second Prince collaborate with them before?”

Glenda explained, “No, the Secret Cultivation Hall was only cooperating with the Second Prince. Their identity doesn't allow too many people to know, so those ministers may know that merchants are helping with funds, but they might not know it's the Secret Cultivation Hall.”

Wu Heng added, “The Second Prince also wouldn't let the ministers know. The Secret Cultivation Hall's Kirin Road project isn't exactly a secret; many would have guessed.”

“Wu Heng, you know about it too?”

“What about me? My Intelligence is nearing 40,” Wu Heng glanced at her.

“No, just acknowledging your cleverness,” Bella said with a transparent hand wave, laughing.

Whoosh!

Xiao Xiao flew back in, looking at the chatting pair and the two souls, asking, “Uncle, Auntie, what are you talking about?”

“About your uncle's Intelligence.”

Xiao Xiao put her hands on her hips, “Uncle is dumb, don't bully him.”

Both Glenda and Bella showed smiles, flying back to their respective places.

Wu Heng watched the little girl standing defiantly in front of him, hands on hips, and wanted to argue but didn't know what to say.

“Thanks, Xiao Xiao!”

“It's fine,” Xiao Xiao turned around and gave a thumbs up.

Wu Heng didn't want to continue the argument with the three spirits any longer either and stood up, saying, “I won't talk with you anymore. I'm going to rest now, remember to notify me if there's any danger.”

“Goodbye, Uncle.”

“Good night!”

Wu Heng waved his hand, walked out of the study, and returned to his bedroom to rest and sleep.

Two days later, the ever-vigilant Messenger arrived in Sti City.

The iron-armored Commander could not afford any delay.

He rode a horse-drawn carriage directly to the council hall.

As soon as the Messenger entered the city, the Ghost detected his presence and came back early to report to Wu Heng.

Wearing a mask, Wu Heng appeared in the council hall.

“Your Highness, a letter has arrived from Nirali City,” the Commander said as he presented the letter.

Wu Heng tore it open and carefully examined its contents.

It was consistent with what Hartel had mentioned.

Beyond reiterating the original negotiation content, it also included his own views on the whole negotiation and the other party's attitude.

From the information written by the governing minister.

If they couldn't reach an agreement this time, officials from the other side would take action, and the whole situation was likely to rapidly collapse.

Wu Heng frowned as he read.

The Commander was somewhat anxious. As soon as Wu Heng finished reading the letter, he asked urgently, “Your Highness, what did the letter say?”

Wu Heng handed the letter to him, “Have a look for yourself.”

The other party took it and, as his eyes scanned the content, his gaze suddenly narrowed.

He spoke angrily, “They really dare to propose.”

Wu Heng sat back down in the chair and said, “I plan to accept their conditions.”

“Your Highness, how can this be?” the Commander stepped forward.

“For the future, and for the safety of all of us, I need to have a talk with the City Lord of Lundham City,” Wu Heng stated plainly.

“Is there a risk they might do something unfavorable once you get there?”

“It's unlikely, and we don't have other choices. Continuing to delay will only make matters worse,” Wu Heng said with a soft sigh.

“Then…” the Commander began, but then swallowed his words, “What are your plans for the arrangement?”

“I'll write a letter. You arrange for someone to go ahead and deliver it to Teacher Edwin, and tell the people in Lundham City that I will personally sign the cooperation agreement with them and that I hope they will keep their promise.”

The Commander sighed, “Alright then. If anything does happen to you, I will lead the army and fight them to the death.”

“Don't worry, it won't come to that,” Wu Heng reassured as he wrote a letter, sealed it with wax, and handed it to the Commander.

The latter took it, bowed, and quickly left the room.

Then, Bella flew back in, “The letter has been sent.”

“Hmm, let's pack up too. We're going back in a couple of days,” Wu Heng walked towards the back.

He returned to the Princess Mansion.

The Princess was in the courtyard tending to the flowers and plants.

Wu Heng asked, “How many people here do you plan to take with you?”

The Princess was startled, with a hint of confusion in her eyes, “Are we leaving?”

“We're leaving in a couple of days. Take your people with you. For those who are not necessary, give them some extra money and dismiss them,” Wu Heng walked towards the room.

The Princess followed, “I don't have money. Lend me some and I'll pay you back later.”

“You are a Princess and you don't even have that much money?”

“I'll pay you back later,” she insisted.

Wu Heng took out some silver coins and handed them to her, “You're being quite a Princess, not even having a salary.”

The Princess pursed her lips and left directly to dismiss the staff of the Princess Mansion.

Wu Heng also walked into the room.

He relayed the message to Wen Mansha and Hartel.

Another two days passed.

Autumn had arrived.

A train departed from Sti City, rolling along the tracks.

Wu Heng and the Princess, escorted by the Guard Team, were seated in the carriage, with the rumbling noise of the train in their ears.

The Princess knelt on the seat, looking out of the window, her eyes brimming with joy.

Wu Heng, meanwhile, pondered about the matters to come.

After arriving in Nirali City, he, representing the Second Prince, would sign the agreement.

The conflict between both parties would come to a complete stop.

And the Second Prince's presence would gradually fade from everyone's sight.
