The atmosphere was stern and majestic in the Imperial Study.

Emperor Ye Qin, who was dressed in yellow, was reading a memorandum. Just then, a eunuch entered the study to report that Princess Ye Luan was here to see him.

“Luan’er is here?” Ye Qin put the papers down and replied in an aloof manner, “Let her in.”

“Yes.”

Just as he had spoken, the door to the Imperial Study was slowly pushed open.

Ye Luan entered gracefully and was bathed in the magnificent sunlight. Her face was filled with a smile and her demeanor was absolutely noble.

“Imperial Father, why have you summoned me?”

Ye Luan looked at his favored daughter and smiled, “Luan’er, are you really going to marry Xia Linyu?”

“That’s right.”

Ye Luan nodded. “I love him. I had fallen in love with him from the moment I had laid eyes on him. In this lifetime, I will marry no one else but him!”

“Do you know anything about his background?” asked Ye Qin.

“Imperial Father!” Ye Luan replied unhappily, “I will be marrying him in just three days and You’ve already given us Your permission. Are You going back on Your word now? Xia Linyu’s powers are notable, are You still afraid that he can’t match up to me?”

Ye Qin sighed and his face was full of exasperation. “I’m not afraid that his background is unfit for you, I’m afraid that his background is too great that you would suffer grief by marrying him. You must know that our great empires are not the only things that exist on this mainland! However, I’m not worried if he’s an Emperor, what I’m worried about is that he’s from the First City! The people of the First City have always looked down upon us in the secular world. Why would they allow you to marry one of them?”

“Imperial Father.” Ye Luo laughed. “You can rest assured in this. I had asked Xia Linyu if he was from the First City when we had first met! He had denied it and said that he had come from a small family and only received great power by chance! Back then, he was only trying to learn from experience by journeying away from home.”

Xia Linyu had been telling the truth, he was indeed from a small family! However, someone has a powerful sister who was rushing towards the Dragon Moon Empire right now…

“Imperial Father, Yu’er and I are two of the same and we don’t want to complicate matters. Please, Imperial Father, fulfill my wish.”

Ye Luan knelt down as she spoke earnestly.

However, even Ye Qin never felt that Xia Linyu was not as ‘two of the same’ as Ye Luan had described. He was under the control of her Absolute Hypnotic Charm…

“Alright, alright.” Ye Qin sighed. He waved his hand and bade the kneeling Ye Luan to stand up. “Luan’er, you’re the child that I favor and feel the proudest about. None of your siblings have surpassed you but I hope that you know your limits in your decisions. If Xia Linyu’s status is higher than our own, you have to give him up. There are so many men in the Dragon Moon Empire that you won’t lack for a husband.”

Ye Luan smiled. “Imperial Father, I’ve always been mindful of my limits and ¹ Xia Linyu really isn’t a member of the First City. He’s only a genius from a small family! Don’t worry, no problems will arise during our wedding in three days.”

“Since your heart has decided, I will go along with your decision.” Ye Qin waved his hand. “Alright, you may leave.”

“Yes, Imperial Father.”

Ye Luan joined her fists, turned around and walked out of the Imperial Study. Her face was full of determination and her eyes were filled with a particular resolution.

No matter what, I will have Xia Linyu!
