"Are you the volunteer group sent by Jade Country?" Princess Aier, having recovered, asked in standard Huaxia language.
"Yes."
"I am deeply saddened and outraged by what happened to you. We came to rescue you as soon as we got the message... Although it's like locking the stable after the horse has bolted... we've done our best. It was our fault for not taking adequate safety measures, and I am very sorry." Princess Aier respectfully bowed to Wang Lan and the other two.
The sensation from that touch earlier was indeed unmistakable... so impressive! Wang Lan hastily averted his gaze, while Wu Shaohua looked on with helpless resignation, silently gazing skyward.
"Princess Aier, you need not feel guilty. Our helicopter was not shot down, and we successfully landed in Iced City. It was King Cain who requested our assistance for you."
"..." Princess Aier's eyes instantly widened like light bulbs, then a sincere smile spread across her face. "That's excellent news."
