The princess looked at the crown prince once again to assess, since she wanted to make sure. The princess thought that the crown prince looks sissy, but he looked like a nice person, so he approved of him, though the crown prince somehow got the idea that he was being evaluated he didn't know the reason behind it, he just thought that the princess of Liu Empire seems the same since the princess earlier which might be her sister, did this to him on the roof top.
Since the silence is awkward, the prince decides to say something.
"Does the princess need something from me?" He asked gently, then he earned another look from the princess.
"You said you wanted to have a walk with the noble ladies, so why don't you come with me for a few moments?" The prince was surprised, but he agreed since it is not good to refuse a lady, especially if she is a favorite of the emperor.
"If that is what the princess wants, then I will not decline," He then followed the princess.
The princess doesn't really want to invite the crown prince of Su, but on the night of the banquet, she saw something interesting, and she wants to see how that little girl responds to seeing the same person she met last night. The crown prince didn't know what was going on in the princess's mind, but he knew that it looked prejudicial because of how sinister her smile looked.
The princess leads him to a small courtyard with so many cherry blossom trees that he then remembers the woman he met last night.
He thought that he might have just seen a dream yesterday since he still cannot believe what he just saw.
"Excuse me, your highness, but what is this place?" The princess looked back at him and sneered. The prince shivered at the sight of the princess's smile. It's a smile that looks like it was right in the palm of her hand, but he didn't know why, since it was the first time he met the princess, and it wasn't enough to have animosity toward each other.
The princess looked at the front once again at the cherry blossoms. Her expression then changed to one that was warm. The crown prince was mesmerized by the beauty of the princess in front of him.
"This is the courtyard of the little sister that I really love." The prince looked at the princess, confused at what the princess had just said.
"We were born at the same time, but all that she got is the animosity of the people near her; she's not strong, but she still fights her destiny. I love how she always thinks about me, even though her situation is worse than mine." The princess looked back at the crown prince, who looked perplexed. She giggled at the sight of him.
"Last night you saw her, right?" The prince was confused at first, but then realization hit him when he saw the silhouette of the woman he had seen yesterday from a distance.
"You see, that girl is my little twin sister Ling Zhen Zhen." The prince was already stiff when he saw her at a distance, but was surprised to hear the name of the woman yesterday.
"Zh… Zhen Zhen" The princess then went near the building where her twin resides, but before they proceeded, the princess said something.
"You are the first person to look at her directly. Every time people saw her, they would all flee, thinking that she might be cursed, but I know that she's not cursed. I believe the word curse is not in what people see or feel, but what is on the inside. She's fine, she's not cursed. The way she lived is not a curse, so I knew that I'm alright." Ling Zhen Zhen, who was inside, saw the figure of her sister outside; she was ecstatic. She immediately went outside to meet her sister.
The crown prince looked at the woman who was approaching, and he didn't know, but there was something in his heart that was moved. As if he were short of breath.
The woman smiled at her sister, and she even giggled. The cherry blossoms falling into her direction looks as if her wings that make her beautiful. Her long silver hair flutters in the air as she runs. At that time, the crown prince thought how nice it would be if that smile were directed at him.
Her smile was the purest thing he had seen in this world; he wanted that smile to be directed at him.
