The girl before him had been through a dark past. She was assaulted by her own maid, and not in the necessarily violent way in the very beginning. She had her innocence taken by someone who was supposed to be loyal. Devout. A servant who serves the crown allowed their deprived desires to manifest on a defenseless princess. His eyes narrowed slightly, as she would tell him the story of what had gone on. It wasn't something that would be generally accepted. However in the Dathian Society, being a victim to such a crime wasn't looked down upon. You weren't weak if you fought back, you were weak if you told or snitched.<br/><br/>The Law in Dathia was to be upheld by both the civilian populace and the militant government officials. If no one kept the nobles in line, then there was no justice. If nobles couldn't keep the people in line, then there would be no justice. The world which surrounded them this very moment had gone through millions of reforms since its civilization had begun.<br/><br/>Her trembling, her uncanny disposition. She didn't seem to like what she had been sharing with him. It wasn't as exciting as before to see her shiver and squirm like this. The story definitely rocked him. There wasn't very much that rocked him though. It was just the thought of a maid molesting a princess. It seemed the woman wasn't in her right mind. If she had ever been discovered by anyone else, it would have been likely that she would have been privately executed anyway. To have hired such a shameless maid would bring about such a bad reputation on the royal house.<br/><br/>She did the right thing, killing the maid. Though even at a young age, he also killed people. He didn't like being touched so they never really had the chance to do something like this to him. However that was mostly thanks to the fact that her father almost killed him and he didn't trust anyone after that.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FFFF80">"I don't and won't think any different of you after you shared this with me."</span>Xinyi would state with a light sigh as he looked over her. Gently running his fingers through her hair as he did so.<span style="color: #FFFF80">"I will commit myself to you, as you will be my official wife. But just so you know, the Imperial harem is brought up of noble daughters."</span>Scratching the back of his neck, he looked her in the eyes.<span style="color: #FFFF80">"I also have no intention of using Hana. Both me and my father have a tendency to tease with serious sounding notions,"</span>he would say as he waved the idea off without much thought.<span style="color: #FFFF80">"And don't bow to me. You are of equal standing and we're in a private informal Occassion."</span>
