Xinyi would stare at her as she moved with him as they began to dance. As she had brought up the whole verbal engagement to someone he didn't like yet, and questioning his commitment to the whole thing working in both of their favors. He simply didn't have much of a response, he simply kept his gaze on her as they were dancing. Was this really the time to be asking something like this? Being asked how much it meant to him to get revenge was a bit much too, considering not only did her father cause him heart break and traumatic experiences, but nearly killed him. Should his own father ever abdicate the throne to him, any child he had would face the same fate should Malachi still hold the throne.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FFFF80">"Your mother was tossed aside by your father because she suggested to solidify the alliance between our nations, by marrying you to me. He however wanted his Kingdom to remain separate and to keep his heir."</span>The man would say with a dull expression on his face, as if her question about what he would do with her after he had both lands dishonored him. Xinyi was a man who was cruel, a torturer and at the same time he was known to be a lustful lover in the privacy of the palace and away from the prying eyes of the public.<span style="color: #FFFF80">"The war that is about to happen is a mere show, as I already have over seventy percent of his nobles under my wing. Once it looks like the Kingdom is losing, the nobles who secretly gave their fealty to me, will turn on those whom have not. Anyway... I will not throw you away and I will marry you. Once that is done, we'll install a quantum gateway between our worlds so we can travel between the two capitals at will, almost instantaneously. Throwing you away would be counter productive, plus, I already like you from what I see."</span><br/><br/>Looking over at the food however he would gently pull away and walk over to the table, taking the top off of it, there was more than enough for him. He usually ate extravagantly large portions, so there was enough to share even though the portion size would say its for one in the Palace. He then glanced over at her and gestured towards the varied selection of a multi-course dinner.
