"I surrender," the Southern princess waved the white flag without any hesitation. She knew better than to clash horns with a stubborn old bull still in its prime.
Seeing the Southern Princess surrender just when they thought things were getting heated, the crowd sighed in unison. However, they weren't disappointed as many had already guessed this ending. All the people attending the surprise banquet knew the Southern Princess and Ruler very closely.
So, in a way, they foresaw such an ending coming from miles away. It wasn't news that Southern Princess was someone who would not personally get her hands dirty. Even if she were forced to do so, she would prefer not to leave a trace of her taking action.
