"If someone can snatch him away, he wasn't meant to be mine. Let's talk about this when he passes the Imperial Examination. Besides, if he doesn't take the initiative, expecting me to do so is a no-go."
"You know, when it comes to pursuing a woman, there's a mountain in between, but when it's the other way around, there's just a thin veil. He's quite easy to pursue."

"Yes, Mistress."
