After the applause, Xu Huo and those noble girls slowly descended back to the ground, and then the other guests requested to see the second magic trick.
"The second trick is space traversal," Xu Huo walked to the front and said to the King, "But performing this magic requires your and the Queen's permission to freely come and go within the castle. Otherwise, it won't achieve the intended effect. For safety, Your Majesty may send a Guard to accompany me."
"Doing so would be disrespectful to a performer from far away," the Queen spoke up.
"The Queen is right," the King nodded in agreement, then said to Xu Huo, "I permit you to go anywhere except the Rose Garden. But how will you showcase space traversal?"
"I originally wanted to invite a guest to accompany me, but since space-time traversal cannot set a destination, randomly bringing someone around the castle wouldn't be polite... May I ask if Your Majesty would like to personally experience space traversal?"
