When he unloaded his armor, he also retracted his murderous aura that could even sadden the demons. Looking at his back alone, he was no different from the royals and nobles riding in carriages in the capital.

Upon entering the door, Gu Shen patted the iron puppet's shoulder in front of his house. He breathed out a long sigh and showed a little exhaustion. His private guard, Huo Dan, was only seventeen this year and was still a child. He had been following him to eat sand in the Northern Frontier. This was the first time he came to the capital city, following behind his commander with wide eyes that shifted back and forth, afraid that his eyes were not enough to use.

Everything in the Marquis's Manor from the screens to the windows, to the steam lamp at the gate, they all appeared brand new to the country boy.

Gu Shen pointed to Huo Dan and said to the butler, Uncle Wang, who came to welcome him, "Find a place for this kid to stay. Don't let him starve."

"Yes," said the butler.

Huo Dan hurriedly said: "Marshal, can't I follow you?"

Some of the servants behind the butler laughed. Gu Shen patted him on the back of his head: "I'm going to Her Highness's place, what are you following me for?"

There was a princess tent in Black Iron Camp, but this time the princess did not go with him. Huo Dan only heard of her reputation and had never seen her. For him, the princess was almost like a goddess far out of reach. When Huo Dan heard the words "Her Highness", his face turned as red as a monkey's bottom. When he came back to his senses, Gu Shen had gone far.

Marshal Gu dismissed all the servants and walked all the way to the backyard. At the door, he first adjusted his clothes, then said, "Gu Shen is requesting an audience with Your Highness."

An old nanny at the door smiled so wide one could not see her eyes, "The Marquis is always so over courteous. Please hurry and enter."

In the Great Liang Dynasty, the First Princess was more precious than the regular princesses, and the First Princess with grand abilities was even more precious — while the only bloodline of the previous emperor, the holder of the Black Iron Tiger emblem, was the most precious in the world. Even the emperor should respectfully call her an aunt whenever he saw her.

Gu Shen entered the room and patiently waited for the nanny and the maidens to go away, only then did he change to a completely different face.
