"Shut up, Helu," Duotu snapped, but an unnatural blush crept onto his face.
Sang Luo smiled faintly, tracing his lips with her finger. "You were that worried about me?"
"...You promised you'd have a cub for me. You can't go back on your word!" he said, turning his face away. His ears turned an even deeper shade of red.
"Heh, I never realized how cute you could be. Once you've made me happy, I'll give you a whole litter."
Duotu grabbed her hand and whispered, "We'll have one as soon as we get back."
"So impatient? I'm not ready yet."
Duotu swept her up into his arms and strode forward, afraid she would say something even more scandalous.
Helu watched them leave, his face full of envy. "The Prince and the future Prince Consort get along so well..."
"Prince Consort? The Prince is ascending the throne any day now. If you ask me, this noble female is the future Queen of the Empire. It's a sure thing. We'd better get on her good side."
