You and I are engaged because our parents set us up. You're the daughter of a marquess from the west side of Jiangnan. We're not that close, but I'm quite curious about you. One day, you and I attended an event that the emperor made after winning a war against another Empire. I also participated in the war.

I saw that there was a new noble couple and the male partner was carrying a handkerchief with their family symbol made by his female partner as a sign of pairing and it was a tradition in the empire.

I felt confused and looked at you. Why didn't you make me one too? I wondered in my mind. I decided to ask directly. Don't you have a handkerchief?
