"Your Highness, everything went smoothly."
"That's good." The Seventh Prince continued, "Since you're here, everyone is present."
The Seventh Prince stood up, facing the eleven people outside the pavilion.
The eleven individuals rose with him, maintaining a respectful demeanor.
"You were chosen by me from the Thirteen Prefectures of the Great Qin Dynasty, all of you possessing exceptional talents and knowledge."
The Seventh Prince had initially selected fifteen people from the Thirteen Prefectures, but only eleven were present here because four had either died on the way, been captured, or their fates remained unknown.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness."
The Fifth Prince also stood up at this point, walking in front of everyone, his gaze sweeping over the eleven people without any visible emotion.
Afterward, the two princes exchanged a glance, and palace maids brought forward scrolls.
Each of the eleven people received a scroll.
