Capítulo 162: Chapter 158: New Clue

"Of course," Melia nodded, then stated confidently, "Because I was the one who handled the purchase of this batch of cannons."

Wang Xu didn't respond, his face looked rather grim. Luo'er glanced at him, then lightly nudged him. Wang Xu then came back to his senses, and with an apologetic look, he said, "Apologies, Your Highness, for my indiscretion in your presence. I have some matters to attend to, please forgive my abrupt departure."

"It's okay," Melia replied with a smile, generously stating, "Having Luo'er to see me off is enough."

"Luo'er, escort the princess," Wang Xu commanded."

Luo'er looked at Wang Xu, then at Melia. A triumphant look crossed her face. He sighed lightly out of helplessness, then replied, "Understood!"

With a few instructions, Wang Xu hurried off. Evidently, Melia's intelligence was highly significant to him, to the point that he couldn't afford a second's delay here.
