Chapter 328: Each time you sacrifice yourself for me I hurt

Prime minister Ju sat by the balcony watching the horizon while his mother flipped through a virtual magazine behind her. The two of them didn't speak. The atmosphere was both strange and harmonious. It almost felt as though if one walked in they would be suffocated by the air within this space for intruding. 

He leaned his head back and said, "When I walk out I am going to get attacked... I won't die but it will hurt."

Tala raised her head and glanced at him before saying, "I will play my part well."

Prime minister Ju smiled slightly before saying, "That's all I ask. Soon I will be the only prime minister in the federation and you will get everything you have always wanted."

Tala smiled gracefully as she lowered her head continuing with her magazine. "Just don't overdo it," she said to him in a soft tone.
