"Ah, I'm sorry," the princess immediately apologized. "Let's go in quick."

She opened the door and entered. Fu Wen smiled and showed Ma Rong and Alex the way inside. Even as they went inside, Alex looked towards the guard, but the guard wouldn't turn to look at him at all. 

Comparing her to the woman in red robes— the difference was truly immense. 

Alex ignored her for the moment and walked in. The people in front of him stepped aside and went around a bed to show a woman with very black skin on the bed.
