Yixin gently caressed Atlas' cheek, noticing his downcast expression. "What's wrong?" he asked.
Atlas shook his head, "Nothing, it's fine."
Yixin lifted Atlas' head and said, "Please tell me."
Atlas looked a little surprised, wondering why Yixin was using 'please.' He had never heard those words from him before.
Yixin smiled, seeing Atlas' reaction. "I've already started to disperse the harem. It'll be done tomorrow. I wanted to surprise you."
Atlas looked at him with narrowed eyes and asked, "Why?"
Yixin responded with a smile, "Isn't it obvious?"
Atlas, as stubborn as ever, replied, "No, so tell me."
Yixin shook his head at his beloved's stubbornness. "Because, my love, you're the only person I want to be with. I adore you, I love you, I cherish you, and I treasure you."
Anyone hearing the Son of Heaven say those words with so much love and obsession would be petrified, but Atlas only felt happiness. He put on his poker face, trying to hide his emotions.
