I've never heard of an emperor of such disposition, but I've also never seen a prince as guileless as Prince Sidon. [ at least ones that are adults ] I am glad that he is not as wicked as I was expecting.

My thanks for the clarification. [ he's so amused ] In any case, I am glad for your company, Mistress Shouxue. Even if you would prefer to be alone.
