Long Rui slowly said, "The case the Emperor entrusted to me, I worked tirelessly, day and night, to investigate, and finally found a clue tonight. I pursued the culprit all the way to the Imperial Palace, alarming the Emperor. I beg your pardon, Your Majesty."
The Imperial Guards and Imperial Experts, upon hearing this, felt that the War Prince was blatantly lying. It was clearly him being chased into the palace by the murderous demon, yet he claimed he was pursuing the demon. Isn't that ridiculous?
However, upon reconsideration, they thought the War Prince might be saving face in front of the Emperor. After all, if the Emperor knew he was being chased by a killer demon, it would be quite disgraceful.
Indeed, as the War God of Moli Country, if he can't even defeat a murderous demon, it would truly tarnish his reputation. With this in mind, everyone let it go.
