She watched him eat and smiled a little. She was sure to notice she didn't eat more than a few bites but that's all she was used to eating. She wasn't given huge portions, just maybe a table spoon of everything and less than the required amount of protein. She wasn't accustomed to eating much, and she supposed that the habits of eating just that much was going to be hard to break. She'd never tasted anything sweet, all of her foods were savory or just the meals. She'd never had a dessert of any kind. It would be obvious since she didn't even touch the dessert, and only looked at it.<br/><br/>She nodded her understanding toward being a good leader. She knew she could only hope to be as decent of one she could be. She knew there would be people who thought she would be horrible, but she was going to try her best to be a just and understanding leader, but she wasn't going to take any disrespect either. Now that she were engaged, she wanted to believe that she wouldn't be alone in the matter, and that they could work together to rule to the best of their abilities.<br/><br/>When it came to having friends, she was lucky to even have Hana. Hana's brother, Daisaku was never allowed to visit the palace with Hana. He was only a year or two older than her but she'd only seen him from a distance. Looking at Xinyi she could see how handsome he was, and she thought for a moment...she was verbally engaged to him right now, but...would this consist of a date? So, being the open and not so filtered real self she was, she asked, "<span style="color: #BF0000">So, we're engaged...which would mean...you're already my boyfriend, right? So, is this a date?</span>" she asked and smirked but tilted her head to the side pretending to act a little confused. She was being playful, but in a genuinely curious manner. She liked bringing expression to his face, even if it's only the glow of his eyes, which was her favorite thing to see. She loved his golden eyes, and she wanted him to always look at her, So any time she could make him look at her, she enjoyed every skipped beat of her heart and every shiver that ran through her body. She wondered if he experienced such exotic feelings too, or if it were just her.
