Ying Yue's pov:

I was hollered up in my room as usual as I don't really like being out too much especially after what had happened at the party that was held in the ballroom.

All the nobles and other kinds of important people were there, no one knew why they got an invitation to the castle.

The emperor or rather the senile old man that I call him, obviously in private as I after all do want to live past my 30th moon (day/birthday).

Anyway, let's go back to my narrating about yesterday's events that followed in the ballroom where the old bones spoke after striding In and sitting on his throne.

The old man dared to announce or rather declare that I will be married to a man, the man was not a simple one at all.

He is a thug or rather a bandit that every single soul within this empire knows off, his nickname is the king of bandits, no one knows of his name nor his whereabouts, he may as well be the beggar outside the imperial restaurant for all we know.

I remember the atmosphere in the ballroom. I saw all the shocked expressions on their faces but I also saw the glee in their eyes.

I hated every second of that experience after all It was a well-known fact that the emperor does not favor the eldest princess instead he favors his youngest daughter.

After that announcement the party was nothing but a room full of gossips and whispers, I didn't care about the whispers and the gossipers but my future is what I was caring for.

I walked through the balcony doors to gaze at the beautiful moon present as I wished for a miracle to happen.
