Chương 86: Runaway Hero

An Hao strolled in and stood in-between Prince Rui and Prince Yi,  smiling brightly up at the Emperor and got on one knee and cupped his hands, "Greetings to your majesty! It has really been too long. As per your order, I brought our esteemed guest here safe and sound!" He finished bowing his head.

The Emperor smiled and said, "Rise, you have done very well." An Hao happily got up with a smug expression.

Prince Rui and Prince Yi cast him a side glance, they were both not sharing in his amusement. On the other hand, the Emperor cleared his throat to stop the urge to laugh.

The Emperor then turned to Prince Rui, "It is good to finally be able to receive you formally...I hope you do not hold your past experience against us, we are a very hospitable people."

Prince Rui put on a smile and said, "Not at all, the past was a different time, it was what was necessary."
