Chapter 4: Proposal III
"H-his Highness, His Highness…"
She Rou's contemplation ran short as an hour later she noticed when she spaced a bit out from her thoughts a shrilling voice was calling her with some hesitation.
"Ah… His Highness, Imperial Physician Cui sent His Highness' medicine.
"It… it has to be drink warm," a young man with childish features and glistening dark eyes said with some stuttering when his prince's deep dark eyes were set on him.
"Ting Niao." It was the Fourth Prince's personal and only eunuch; apparently, the Fourth Prince didn't like to have other males in his environment even if they were eunuchs. The only reason Ting Niao was able to serve him was because of his child-like features and shiny naivety in his eyes.
"Yes! His Highness," Ting Niao said a bit exalted as though he was waiting for punishment because he had done something bad.
"Who are the envoys that came from the Holy Light Empire?"
However, there was no reprimand, neither a punishment but a question and a gesture for the medicine in his hands to be approached.
With the Fourth Prince's beckoning, by reflex, Ting Niao quickly went to him but the reply to his question didn't come out.
The Fourth Prince received the medicine and sniffed it, putting aside for a second the displeasure for his unanswered question, 'This… is an interesting mix.' Although Shen Rou was renowned through the Grand Mystic World as a cultivator solely because of her necromancy skills, she was also versed in medicine and alchemy. Nevertheless, her level hadn't been enough as to detect the poisons she and her people had been fed before; she was only an Honourable Alchemist. Even the mastery of a Venerable Alchemist, a rank above hers, wouldn't have sufficed as one of her generals and friend was one.
But in this Middle Empire, her level in alchemy could be considered top-notch as only high-ranking people of Big Empires and above were the ones who could hire an Honourable Alchemist.
Hence, getting to know what had the decoction she was supposed to drink was easy.
The decoction was engulfed down; there wasn't a big problem with it.
'Just a bit of warmth and drowsiness won't do much,' Shen Rou thought. Aside from herbs for a throbbing head, it had ones with a "relaxing" effect; Drunkish Celestial Blossom and Red Heavenly Seed. Judging by their quality and amount, at most, it will only make the Fourth Prince's body look more enticing.
He gave back the silver bowl where the medicine was and stared deeply at Ting Niao, asking with his enchanting dark eyes for the answer that hadn't been delivered.
Ting Niao had clearly forgotten as he was looking at his prince with confused eyes. He soon shied away and bowed his head, making a frown appear on the bewitching semblance of the Fourth Prince.
"Ah!" Not even Ting Niao knew how but his prince earlier question was suddenly remembered by him, a thing that he thanked, "Replying to His Highness, originally the Snow Flower Empire was waiting for the regular two envoys: His Illustrious, Honourable Alchemist Da and His Excellency, Vice General Xiao.
"However, Ting Niao recently heard that it appears His Imperial Highness, the Holy Prince came and is being escorted by His Illustrious, Venerable Alchemist Gu and His Valiant Majesty, *King Rui."
"…"
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
TheWorstAmateurEA
TheWorstAmateurEA *King: Here, it's a title that can be given at important members of the Imperial Family or to someone who has made great achievements and merits.
-As he was addressed as His Valiant Majesty, it's by merit. If it was His Noble Majesty, then the person would have been an important member of the Imperial Bloodline. Pd: It's a hereditary title so...
-I broke my head with them to differentiate them from His Imperial Majesty that is only for the Emperor.
