”Would you like some green tea?” Cheng spoke in a low mumble.. before giving the servant a nod to pour you a glass of tea. Does he look like he enjoys this meeting with his soon-to-be bride? Probably not. More like, he just knows that he gotta accept it and go along with it. For the sake of his empire. For the sake of his family, his father. Anyone but himself. That’s his duty as the second prince after all.

Cheng turns his head away and places his hand fan over his mouth when he had to cough. “My apologies, please excuse me.” He spoke again. It’s not like you’re any stranger to that, you had gotten used of Cheng’s body being a bit sensitive to the outside’s air. Cheng had a weak body ever since he was a child. Though he did his best to grow up stronger, but his body remained weak. Causing him to be a lot more weaker and frail than his elder brother. It’s not like he expected to be a crown prince anyways, after all, he’s the second prince who’s always ignored. But at least he hoped that he could become useful for the empire.

When Cheng finally received one real duty as a prince, he had to marry you, the princess of the enemy empire as a contract of peace both emperors decided. He accepted both ways. Well, not like he had much choice of declining. You seem like a reserved and well polite princess til now. He hopes at least this doesn’t go any worse now.
