"I knew you were going to follow me out here. So, did you like your surprise? I know I should have warned you about you, but I wanted to surprise you before I did that."
Sui looked at her brother, no, the crown prince of the Azure empire, as he leaned his body on his throne.
The room was empty except for her and her brother. But it did not make the situation any less nerve-racking for her than it was before.
"Let me guess! You would like to know why I lied and told you I was the Imperial medic when I was not, huh? It's simple - I did not want you to run away."
"I felt you would run away if I told you the truth about who you were and who I was. And my plan worked, right? You attended the banquet and participated in the cleaning ceremony. This was your first one. How did it feel for you?"
The crown prince asked many questions, but he did not seem to be expecting an answer from Sui.
