As the eldest prince of the entire empire, Yercha was expected to be the first in line to inherit the throne from a young age.
However, he felt unhappy with his life.
All the expectations of everyone were on his shoulders, making it hard for him to breathe.
When he was eight years old, his aunt gave birth to a little sister. When he and his father went to the little sister's one-month celebration, he saw the clouds in the baby carriage for the first time.
It was small, cute, and soft, as if it would break at the slightest touch; it was the most delicate thing he had ever seen.
The king even joked with him, "You two can be considered childhood sweethearts, cousins, you can love each other in the future."
His Majesty was unaware that his joking remark had been taken to heart by the young boy, who then took it seriously.
So from then on, he would visit his aunt's house from time to time to see his little cousin. Once she could sit up and hold things, he would start giving her all sorts of little toys.
When she gets a little older, start giving her pretty dresses, jewelry, delicious food, and fun toys.
The little girl grew a bit older and would follow behind him with unsteady little steps, calling out sweetly and innocently, "Brother Qia."
Yercha thought the voice was very sweet, the sweetest voice in the world, sweet all the way to his heart.
He liked her being with him, and she liked clinging to him. He truly doted on her like a younger sister.
Yercha thought they would continue like this forever, until he was fourteen and the little girl was six, when his father sent him out to study and gain experience.
He was gone for fifteen years. When he returned, he was twenty-nine and she was twenty-one.
They met again in the palace. He was dressed in a well-fitting palace gown, a prince's robe, and was the high and mighty eldest prince, the first successor to the throne of the empire.
Calm and elegant, dignified and refined, everyone says he has the demeanor of His Majesty and is a qualified successor.
She was a charming young lady from a duke's family, graceful, beautiful, intelligent, and with a touch of girlish naiveté and innocence, just as he had imagined.
She bowed respectfully and called out, "Cousin Yercha."
In that instant, he saw her overflowing joy crumble as if it had all vanished, leaving behind even a hint of disappointment and grievance. He couldn't help but tease her, asking, "What's wrong? After fifteen years, Little Cloud, have we grown distant?"
He also noted her stunned expression at the time, then smiled and said, "I remember, I loved going out to play with my cousin, but now we're both all grown up."
The meaning of "not yet finished" is to maintain distance and pay attention to etiquette.
Suddenly, Yercha felt as if half of her heart had emptied, leaving her feeling somewhat dull and slightly aching. Looking at the girl in front of her, who was smiling but completely distant, Yercha fell silent.
After she left, he couldn't help but inquire about her again.
I learned that she is now studying medicine at the Orlan Military Academy, that she likes to surf the internet and watch live streams, and that she also likes pretty clothes.
Yercha couldn't resist following her page and buying many beautiful dresses, jewelry, and accessories, all in her size.
However, having no way to send them away, he put them all in his huge walk-in closet, which occupied two-thirds of it.
Whenever I see beautiful clothes, I can't help but buy them; whenever I see beautiful jewelry, I can't help but take pictures and carefully collect them one by one.
