"We're finished. Why would Mother Empress come over here?" It was a shocking moment for Princess Sheila too. Her body could not stop shaking as she was very anxious. 'It would be a disaster if Mother Empress saw us soaking together in the wooden bathtub naked.'
Suddenly, a thought ran into Princess Sheila's mind, and she asked Darryl, "Why does Mother Empress need to come to look for you at such a late hour? Is there something between the both of you?"
Darryl was out of words and smiled bitterly, "How would I know?" He quickly got out of the wooden bathtub and put his clothes back on. While doing that, he urged Princess Sheila. "Hurry up and get dressed. Go out the back window."
He knew quite well if Empress Heidi saw what they were doing, it would not be enough even if he had ten heads on him to chop off. After all, Princess Sheila was Empress Heidi's most beloved daughter.
Finally, Princess Sheila reacted after Darryl rushed her. She quickly got out of the wooden bathtub and put on her long dress. Her face was still blushing a little after the coitus and seemingly quite attractive. After she put on her long dress, she quietly opened the back window to get ready to leave.
Just then, Princess Sheila remembered something and looked at Darryl seriously, "Hey, don't you dare leave without me. I will never forgive you if you sneak back to The Nine Mainland."
'Damn!' Darryl was in the moment when he did not know if he should be crying or laughing. 'Can she tell what kind of situation we are in right now? I can't believe she still insists on it.'
Even though he had that thought in mind, Darryl still said very seriously, "Don't worry. I won't leave by myself. Even if I want to leave, I will bring you with me." However, he already planned to leave secretly when no one was around without bringing the spoiled princess with him. After all, the princess was a royal member, and it would only bring trouble to Darryl if he were seen together with him.
Finally, Princess Sheila was convinced that Darryl was not lying to him. She jumped out of the room through the window and disappeared into the night.
"Barely Immortal?" Just seconds before Princess Sheila left, Empress Heidi asked again, "Have you rested? Can you please open the door if you haven't? I have an urgent matter." She sounded quite anxious from the tone she spoke.
