Prince Qui actually left the palace in high spirits. That was actually a first. Mainly, whenever he left, he was only relieved to be finally out of arm's reach of his family.
"How do you feel, General?" asked Bolin.
"I honestly don't know why I keep bringing along the two of you," he sighed. Here they were again, always pestering him about his relationship with Tianshi Xue.
Was it strange that deep down, he really wanted for them to ask?
"Two of us? We're always three!" countered Feng.
"Aiguo I don't mind," he said. "It's always just the two of you."
Bolin was not even disheartened about it. "But you love having us around," he said, grinning from ear to ear as they made their way through the car of the temporary train that was going to bring them to The Border.
