Xinyi was delighted that she enjoyed the food, considering the fact that it was one of the main staples of Dathia. It wasn't really a delicacy though, since it was rather normal food, and it could be made with any combination of food types. Those big green eyes though, it seemed as if they were going to suck him in like some sort of gigantic black hole. Then when she said it was delicious, he chuckled a bit and nodded a little. Taking a mouthful of the food into his mouth he leaned back where he was sitting.<br/><br/>So when he had found her, and even shot her, she was doing reconnaissance on individuals whom she might be able to use against the King? Impressive, but she wasn't fast enough to outrun his plans. Not only did he want to usurp the throne, he wanted to rule it all. What better way to do so if he married someone of the original royal family of the Kingdom he was to conquer? There would be no one for the people to rally behind should they want to restore the original bloodline. Unless there were cousins and other relatives who wanted to gain control and would go out of their way to oust Kage. The question was, how many of the people wanted her to be Queen? She was thought to be the obedient daughter, wasn't she? As she went on to talk about how she was planning on taking the Kingdom, he was rather surprised she would be training to become an Assassin. However that did make him understand all the bladed weapons and leather armor. While Leather armor wasn't all that good at deflecting energy weapons, it was quite good at going against traditional fighters such as the palace guard whom were more suited for close combat. Yes, he studied the Royal Guard of her people, and it seemed like they were traditionalists and relied mostly on their existing military forces for true protection during all times.<br/><br/>Hearing her speak of her father that way though made it seem like her behavior earlier was a bit off. It had seemed that she loved her father and couldn't believe that he had betrayed her. The proof was what he thought was what brought her to become angry and sad, even disappointed. For her to say all this about him made it seem as if she never liked him to begin with. While he understood the fact that her father objectified her and didn't recognize her as his daughter, he generally believed that to be the same for most nobles and royalty.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FFFF80">"Now you'll become Empress once my father abdicates the throne. Until then the Kingdom Alliance will simply turn into a Principality until we integrate it into the Empire when the time comes... I guess we'd be known as High Prince and High Princess,"</span>Xinyi chuckled at the idea of those simple titles which he had used. The question was though, would she go along with the entire Alliance being absorbed into the Empire, or did she want the Kingdom of Simmin and it's associates to remain independent?
