Snippet #1968389

Daiki grinned, laughing where Fa Sheng was unable to. "She made you laugh? That's something indeed," he agreed. Daiki sighed softly and shook his head, tilting his face towards the sky. Fa Sheng liked her. That would make his mission from Kisei all that easier. 

Clicking his tongue, Daiki ushered his horse forward into a slow trot. "If I were you, I would not wait to long to announce her presence to the empire. They will adore your secret marriage, but they may become dissapointed if she is with child already when they first meet her." Daiki tossed his gaze over his shoulder, unsure what to say. "She will be with child eventually... Right, brother? You still need an heir." Damn Kisei.... Why couldn't he just do this himself?

Kazumi crossed her arms and shuffled after Kisei. Emotions mixed inside of her, anger, rage, sorrow, and embarrassment. Why had she shouted at the prince?

Kisei settled down on the bed with Kazumi's dark eyes trained upon him. At last, she sighed heavily and closed her eyes before closing the gap between them and sitting behind his back. "I'm sorry, Kisei," she said softly, looking away from him. "I didn't meant to shout or insult you. I'm.... Sorry." 

Kazumi sighed, closing her eyes running her hand through her hair. "I'm still not good at being your attendant. Is there anything I can do for you?"
