Did humans have the right to choose when the dragon had made a decision?
Xia Qiao thought that the dragon's order was absolute even if she couldn't say that her father, the late Emperor, acted like a dictatorial ruler in the palace four years ago. On the contrary, her father was the democratic Emperor, and that was why it seemed like he was someone who would easily succumb if others disagreed with his ideas.
But it was her father, not Prince Lan Zihao who seemed to have a dictatorial character ever since Xia Qiao met that man again in the Imperial Palace more than a week ago.
Back then, when Xia Qiao was deep in thought in front of the man's residence, the man asked if she wanted to come to see his garden or not, and even if it was a question, Xia Qiao somehow saw how tough the man was as if he was giving orders. In the end, Xia Qiao could only nod at the man as if the only thing her head could do was nod and not shake it.
