Light streamed into the room through the cracks, falling directly on him, as if he were enveloped in light.
After a long pause, he took a step back, clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, and knelt before him.
This aloof and intimidating Prince Anyang
"Your subject has found the person to protect."
Every word and phrase reflected his deepest thoughts and reflections.
"So you're not going to care about your mother, your sister, or the common people of Lingqi?"
The entire conversation was light-hearted, and the questions seemed casual, but they weighed heavily on his heart like a large stone.
