Capital City, Imperial Palace...
After monarch Xingyun safely returned to the palace, surrounded by royal knights, medics, and healers, the Prime Minister's expressionless face softened and he hugged his monarch in front of everyone, seemingly unaffected by the stares of onlookers.
Fu Zin said, "Thank God, you are fine."
"A'Zin, I'm back," King Xingyun said.
Only King Xingyun and the Prime Minister remained in the chamber as the others were sent out after collecting their awards, and everyone politely looked away from witnessing their superiors flirt. The king was pulled to sit and rest by the prime minister when the couple had had enough.
Prime Minister Fu Zin asked, "Since the second prince didn't return with you, that means you didn't find him there. What kind of being did you meet?"
