Zora's smile deepened. "I'm very satisfied with these gifts," she said without reserve.
"Good," Prince Kael replied with a laugh. "Then seven days from now will be an auspicious date. I've already informed the Emperor. We'll be married on that day. What do you think?"
She paused for a moment, then spoke evenly.
"You can decide that. But you must remember, this marriage of ours is only for show."
Kael nodded lazily. "I understand. If the woman is willing to cooperate with me, then I naturally won't mind."
Each of them needed something.
This union was never one-sided.
"But I mind," she added lightly.
Kael immediately clutched his chest and sighed dramatically. "Darling, those words wound your husband deeply."
She glanced at him sideways, amused. "Enough. I'm in a good mood today. I'll treat you to a meal."
"Well, well, that's rare. You're not tricking me, are you?"
"Of course not."
