"…Because my father had ties to her in the past."
"Really?" Prince Dwei gaped at that, it was hard to believe what he heard. "How could it be?" He was still frowning, failing to put on his usual graceful expression. "Isn't Emperor Seng very old, then…" Then he paused as he took a deep breath, patting his head in frustration. Fatigue ran through his entire body, even in the smallest nerves.
"Prince," said Prince Seng anxiously. "Are you okay? It seems you don't know that she is…"
"Not a human," interrupted Prince Dwei looking at Prince Seng, then he nodded. "I just remembered. All this time I thought she was just like us." He didn't know to what extent people from the Seng Empire knew about Ying Hua's identity. So he will keep all possibilities and talk as little as possible.
Prince Seng nodded. "Yeah, she isn't a human. That's why she still looks young even though my father is old."
"What happened? What have they been through?"
