War.


The time to move is getting closer and closer. Xingxi's forces are gathering in Lianxi. Not only mere soldiers, but also some military experts join there.
She received orders to go, accompanying the Minister of War, that is also her father. Her presence was not expected but due to the rumors of the prince interested in his daughter - there was not any official announcement - , her father insisted she should join him. She tried to avoid it but seen her delicate position, she could not.
They arrive in the morning. She is in her official attire, hair tied and a strict and cold pose, standing one step behind her father.
They meet with Shige and SuXing where they work together on the strategies. They are going to attack the closest hostile feud and head east to take over the whole eastern side and even the feuds by the sea.
In the evening, she does her all to avoid SuXi, problem is, he also does his all to spend time with her. He is so clingy and she can't dare to push him away too much.

"We should go to eat, aren't you hungry?" SuXi asks, placing his hands on her hips from behind.
She doesn't move. "I am not hungry." She says coldly.
"We should get straight to the point, I'm hungry for something else..." He starts to kiss her neck but that's when she breaks free.
"I'm not in the mood, quit it." She aims to walk away but he grabs her wrist.
"I know, I should wait for our marriage first but I can hardly resist." He gets closer. She is not looking at him but he gently takes her chin, to move her head towards him. "You are so beautiful..." He aims to give her a kiss but she pushes him a little.
"You are shameless." She frowns a little but he smiles in amusement, unable to see things clearly.
"You are good at playing hard to get. I wouldn't like you so much if you weren't."
She crosses her arms, looking away in an annoyed way. "We are here for a specific purpose, you should not forget it."
"It's true. My purpose is your hand and I'm going to earn it."

She eventually manages to get away as SuXi is called for something. She hurries to leave, wandering Lianxi while often looking back to see if she is followed.

Chan «Obey umma or I will only take those vile vegan snacks of dryed vegetables, healthy and low calories, with little to no salt.» But they never gave him absolutely awfully unhealthy snacks. They probably didn't even conceive them, unless Kesst…
«At least it's not like 14 per clutch.» He sighs in relief.
He looks at SuXi when he arrives and he does that with FangYi. «Talk about patriarchy and a prince of Xingxi suddenly appears. It's not like you were summoned by it?»

Whiteroar Shangque. "Not even salt? I can just die, it would be a lighter punishment!
No. I have never heard of such a clutch, but maybe I'm a champion enough to make a big number!"

She stands serious and cold at the arrival of SuXi. She tries to restain herself from beating him up as usual. "I was only talking to an old friend."

SuXi. He maintains his smirk at his words. "Why should that summon me when I so strongly support my love?" He quickly kisses her cheek and she pushes him slightly.

Chan «Not even salt, totally healthy. Air fried with no oil.» Only WooPil and Totoro would eat that.
«You are going to lay eggs yourself, champ?»
He raises a brow at their interactions. «Your love? I can't see all this "love" but maybe it's because I forgot my glasses home.» He doesn't wear glasses.

Whiteroar Shangque shakes his head in disgust. "No, no, no...appa can't possibly allow you to do it...
Of course, I am the male. I'm taking care of the eggs."

SuXi smirks. "It's ok, she doesn't like affection in public."

"Let's go back." She acts and speaks very coldly. She bows her head to Chan then they start to leave.

Chan «Your appa won't be able to save you from your punishments, you can't turn out to be too spoiled. That's not good!»
He blinks. «I thought it was the other way round…» He is genuinely ignorant about these things.
He watches them leave, confused and kinda understanding what the situation must be between them.
