He'd always considered himself a decent swimmer. Growing up in the Forgotten Land, he'd spent countless hours in its water holes.

But she twisted free of his grasp in an instant. She followed up with a backward kick, trying to escape him completely.
'I can't let her surface!' Gao Neng's plan had been to tackle the Princess into the water, subdue her, then find an opportunity to snatch her dagger and toss it into the pool. That would foil her entire scheme.
