Xiang Ling tightened her arms around her man who immediately relaxed into her embrace and let out the emotions that he had been keeping stored within him. Since she personally watched how Wu Tian acted once he received the news of his father's passing, she could already imagine that Zhe Yuan would have acted in a similar way.
He was not only the son of the Emperor of the Water Realm, but also the heir to the throne. As the heir and the next ruler of the Realm, he would have barely gotten the time to mourn for his father's passing. As the new Emperor, he had to take care of the Realm's matters, especially when they just got attacked by the Dark Force.
She slowly ran her hand over his back, trying her best to soothe him as he didn't try to act all calm and emotionless in front of her. She held him close against her as he cried for his loss, knowing that she was there for him.
