CHAPTER 1229: CHAPTER 1229: STANDING SHOULDER TO SHOULDER WITH YOU (PART 3)

Gan Yuan looked around, took a deep breath.

"From now on, you are free!"

Instantly, cheers like tidal waves erupted in the square.

People laughed, cheered, clapped, embraced each other, and then collectively turned their faces toward those on the balcony.

"Long live the Princess!"

Who started it was unclear, or perhaps it was multiple people cheering simultaneously, gradually forming a rhythm.

"Long live the Princess!"

"Long live the Princess!"

...

People from all directions surged forward, making the entire square densely packed.

"Thank you, thank you all!" Gan Yuan raised her right hand to respond to everyone’s calls, "Let’s get to work; we will immediately tackle the city’s rebuilding and security issues. Food supplies needed by everyone will be replenished soon. Everything affected by the previous tyranny will be restored. Long live the Northwest, long live F Country!"

The people waved their hands and shouted, following her tone.

Their voices reached the clouds.

Passing the microphone to Abel beside her, Gan Yuan turned her face and looked at the generals standing behind her.

"I also want to thank all of you. With your support, this matter was smoothly and successfully resolved."

Major General Olai was the first to step forward, raising his right hand and giving her a respectful military salute.

"The Northwest Army’s Third Artillery Corps is forever loyal to you!"

Afterward, several generals followed suit, offering her their most respectful salute.

"The Northwest Army’s Second Corps..."

"The Northwest Army’s Sixth Division..."

...

"Forever loyal!"

Gan Yuan smiled and nodded, Abel extended his right hand to her.

"Gan, congratulations!"

Gan Yuan reached out to shake his hand.

"Abel, you’ve worked hard."

Abel smiled, withdrawing his hand.

"Not so much hard work, just some sore hands."

That punch just now was really forceful, and his palm still throbbed slightly.

His talent lies in numbers and economics, but in terms of physical skills, he is indeed average.

Gan Yuan smiled, her gaze falling on Huangfu Jue by her side. She turned to him, saw the man opening his arms to her, and immediately stepped forward to embrace him.

Perhaps everyone thinks she deserves the most credit for everything that happened, but only Gan Yuan knows how much this man truly did.

Without him and his help...

She couldn’t have accomplished such a great feat, and this man would always rush ahead in times of danger, yet when it was time to bask in glory and receive cheers and applause, he would always stand behind her, leaving all the accolades to her.

Hugging tightly around his neck, she pressed her face against his cheek.

"Thank you, husband!"

The man just held her close, gently patting her back.

"How’s your throat, any discomfort?"

She had been comforting and speaking to the citizens since entering the city, her voice had become a bit hoarse, and Huangfu Jue couldn’t help but worry.

"No." She said with a smile, "Nothing feels uncomfortable, because I’m so happy now."

Hearing her childlike tone, Huangfu Jue slightly curled his lips.

"Finally fulfilled your parents’ wishes, didn’t you?"

"No!" Gan Yuan loosely let go of him, looking up into his eyes, "It’s because now I can stand by your side!"

...

...

Thank you all for your blessings. Additionally, an announcement.

Since the young master will also celebrate the New Year, there will be fewer updates from the first to the third. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year and great fortune.

Good night.
