"Aunt, why exactly is this happening?"
Emperor Xia had a head full of tangled threads, unable to make sense of the situation's complexities.
Firstly, he had always known that Daxia had a Protector. He also knew that the Protector possessed unfathomable prowess, such that even as the emperor, he could not openly offend the Protector.
Secondly, he was aware that Great Yin and Beili also had Protectors.
All along, Emperor Xia thought the Protectors were guardians of the royal family.
But now, listening to the Eldest Princess's words, he suddenly realized that the existence of the Protector was not as he had thought.
"I don't know either!"
The Eldest Princess was equally perplexed.
From the time she met Ying Li, her father had told her that this world was one driven by power, and the existence of Protectors was the foundation of Daxia's existence.
From that moment on, the Eldest Princess knew that in Daxia, Protectors could depose and establish Emperor Xia.
