Fletcher's face became red as he faced Princess Evergreen's questioning.
"Princess Evergreen, you have misunderstood. I was not going to hit this eunuch; I'm just joking with him," he responded, smiling but inside, he was confused.
It was funny that Princess Evergreen, who always mistreated her servants, was protecting the eunuch. What a rare sight!
Princess Evergreen furrowed her brows as she said coldly, "Joke? I don't think so. I saw you attacking him."
Princess Evergreen had seen what happened clearly. Although Fletcher had retreated his hand just in time, his deadly aura was still perceivable.
"Your Highness, you must have misunderstood." Fletcher smiled bitterly, putting on an innocent look. "I was really joking with this eunuch. He had earlier helped to uphold the South Cloud World’s reputation. Why would I attack him? If you don’t believe me, you can ask the rest of the officials."
As he said, all the officials nodded in agreement immediately.
"That's right, Princess, you have misunderstood General Fletcher."
"General Fletcher would never use his fists to battle a eunuch."
Honestly, none of the officials wanted to help Fletcher with his lies, but they had no choice. Fletcher was the Empress’ favored official, and he was highly regarded; they did not want to mess with him.
Seeing that, Darryl laughed coldly but did not speak.
The General was able to lie through his teeth.
Seeing what the others said, Princess Evergreen had nothing to say, either. She smiled and said to Darryl, "Let's go!”
Then, she walked towards the direction of Forever Green Palace.
Darryl followed behind her. To be honest, Darryl did not want to have any connection with Princess Evergreen. However, he still could not locate the Dragon Essence.
