At the same time, Tiger, Lynx, Phoenix, James Mester, and others all gathered at Cloud Bay.
"Madam, don't worry, I believe the boss can turn the tide." Seeing Esther's distressed expression, Tiger stepped forward to comfort her.
Esther looked at Tiger earnestly and asked, "Tiger, as Chris Shelby's right-hand man, can you use your influence to rescue him?"
Having spent a lot of time with Tiger and the others, Esther knew they were no ordinary people, each with great power. With them involved, they could surely save Chris Shelby!
"This... " Tiger hesitated and sighed, "Madam, it's not that we don't want to save the boss. But this time, the person who captured him is Amerosia Lord Protector and the people of East Coast Wilshiro Court. Wilshiro Court belongs to the local system, not our military. If we intervene, things will only get worse."
Wilshiro Court is part of the local system, while both Chris Shelby and Tiger belong to the Amerosian military system. The two systems are unconnected, and even though Tiger is one of the leaders of the four major legions, he cannot give orders to Wilshiro Court. Plus, there's a Lord Protector, Daniel Williams, causing trouble.
If Tiger and the others intervene, Daniel Williams will have something to hold against them. Accused in front of Master William, that would be very troublesome!
"How could this be?" Esther was completely at a loss for these things.
Lynx also spoke up, "Madam, it's true that we're not refusing to help, but we really can't intervene without orders from above."
"What should we do then? Are we just going to watch Chris Shelby suffer?" Seeing Tiger and the others powerless, Esther grew even more anxious.
"In fact, there is a way to save the boss." At this time, Phoenix, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
Anxious, Esther looked at Phoenix and asked, "What's your idea?"
Phoenix looked at Juliette and said, "As long as the princess acts, there may still be hope for the boss."
"Me... " Surprised, Juliette pointed at herself.
Phoenix nodded and said, "That's right! You are the Amerosian princess, a royal relative. I believe the Lord Protector should give you some face."
"You're a princess?" Esther was also shocked, looking at Juliette in disbelief.
Seeing Esther's shocked expression, Juliette smiled awkwardly and said, "Esther, I didn't mean to hide my identity. Besides being Chris's Juliette, I'm also the princess of Amerosia!"
"Ah!" Hearing this, Esther was astounded.
Esther had never imagined that Juliette was actually an Amerosian princess! No wonder Juliette sometimes acted like a princess. Esther thought she was just pretending to be a princess without actually being one. Now she realized Juliette really was a princess!
After a moment, Esther came to her senses and wanted to kneel and bow to Juliette.
Who would have thought that the person she had been living with day in and day out was actually a princess?
Juliette hastily said, "This isn't the time to worry about my identity. The problem is, can I really save Chris? Will Wilshiro Court listen to me?"
"As long as the princess takes action, Wilshiro Court will surely comply!" Phoenix asserted confidently.
"Plead for the boss!"
Juliette's words were cut off as Daniel Williams walked out.
Seeing him, Juliette didn't dare neglect him and immediately approached, "Daniel!"
Although Juliette didn't particularly like Daniel Williams, she had to show proper respect. No matter what, he was Juliette's brother, and she had to observe royal etiquette.
Daniel Williams looked at Juliette, his mouth twitching slightly. He was in his fifties or sixties, yet here he had a younger sister. It was amazing that his father could have a daughter at such an old age. Juliette was the youngest daughter of the previous Master, ranked eighteenth!
"Little sister number eighteen, what are you doing here?" Daniel Williams asked indifferently.
Worried, Juliette said, "I heard that you captured my Chris Shelby, I hope you can release him."
"Hmph!" Daniel Williams coldly snorted and said, "Chris Shelby, as the Amerosia Primus, has broken the law and killed innocent people. I sent people to arrest him. How can I release him easily?"
"But... "
"No buts!"
"Bang!"
Suddenly, Daniel Williams slammed the table and said forcefully, "As a princess, you run around everywhere, it's disgraceful. I think your elder brother has spoiled you, making you so lawless!"
