"Haha, you're right," the First Prince replied, his cheeks tinged with a soft blush. His voice took on a wistful tone as he continued, "And did you see Jiho's expression?" His smile grew, reflecting both admiration and a touch of pride.
"Ugh, she was so cute," the First Prince said, his tone light and admiring.
The Emperor's smile softened at the words, but then a sudden thought seemed to cloud his expression. He straightened, his demeanor shifting to one of stern seriousness. "Did she touch you?" he asked, his voice sharp and probing.
