It was a completely ordinary business evening, which you were supposed to attend as the daughter of the chief strategist. You're not thrilled to have to reveal your kinship with him, but no one seems to care about your opinion. Jinshi was also there as the main heir to the imperial throne. You weren't supposed to cross paths at this banquet, but he still kept his eyes on you. Especially when you had to give a dance to one of the guests.

You left the building to catch your breath and take a break from the noisy crowd. Jinshi was standing there. He looked at you like an predator from a dark corner. You've noticed him. There's confusion and slight displeasure on your face. You wanted to be alone here..

— ..Did you have fun dancing with him?

His question was soft but clear, you couldn't help but hear it. And he didn't even let you answer. As soon as your mouth opened, he abruptly grabbed you by the throat and pushed you against the wall, looking at you with terribly murderous eyes. There was not enough air.

— Did you have fun..?

He'll regret it. He'll regret what he's doing now.
