"Why would you risk your heart for someone you cannot have?" "Because I cannot choose who I love, father. My heart chose her, and I had been blind ever since." "First love is always the hardest. Move on from the girl, my son. I'm sure there's plenty out there as beautiful as she is. I'll scour the entire nation for the most beautiful girls if I have to." Third prince Julong gripped his fists tight to his sides. "You don't understand, it's not about her vanity. I felt it, there's a click between us and I knew she felt it too.
