Soon, just like Ren Yuan has declared, a war between Chang and Lau Empire is officially happening.
A certain Emperor in another land couldn't help but sneer at the foolish Emperor who could have easily just remained obedient and accept their offer.
"Imperial Sister, this fool doesn't deserve you. Such a stupid and crazy Monarch. However, this situation is much better than you going to become a concubine in another Empire."
Imperial Princess who has been listening quietly, just let out a soft smile while the hand holding the luxurious fan couldn't help but grip tightly, a vicious and nasty feeling emerging within her as she remembers the young man she has once caught a glimpse of during the time that she went to the Chang Empire.
With that just one single glimpse, that man has taken her heart away hopelessly.
"Let's go to war then. Who is scared of who? When the war is over, I will capture that man for you. I will keep him alive just for you my dear sister, so don't be sad."
Hearing the words of her younger brother, the Imperial Princess eyes flash with a dazzling light.
"Yes, your sister apologizes. My mind seemed to have been unable to think right a few days ago"
When she heard that man declared that he won't be marrying anyone in his entire life, she became anxious, panic and flustered.
She has been waiting for years now, after learning about a certain ambition of his, and then she just suddenly learned those vow of his that has instantly made her insane.
Since that man doesn't appreciate her offer then capturing him and letting him stay by her side as a prisoner is also a great idea.
"Your Majesty, I will wait for your victory."
"Um! Wait for it my dear sister, I will capture that man for you along his Empire."
As the days pass by, Shao Cheng has been following Ren Yuan every day, watching and observing the person that he has never truly known completely.
At first, he wanted to just leave the man alone but everything that is currently happening is because of himself.
Usually, Shao Cheng wasn't a person that will think to hide away since ignoring and denying everything will never work out in the end, this is something that he has experience on his previous life which has also help him accept his current situation in this new world a bit faster than a normal person should have reacted.
But this man, as always, seemed to have been born to always make his mind and emotion chaotic and messy.
Soon, the days arrive as the war is officially befalling, which Ren Yuan has decided to face the war himself as he stay in the battlefront, commanding the soldiers.
Shao Cheng believes Ren Yuan's ability and talent, he wasn't afraid of the Chang Empire losing the war.
He has experienced how troublesome and irritating this man can be in the past few years after all.
And as Ren Yuan wearing a magnificent armor, appearing majestic, noble and valiant while riding a magnificent steed as he began to march ahead, Shao Cheng's eyes were unable to move on the man dazzling figure.
Soon, Shao Cheng eyes began to close as he started sensing his surrounding, then a bird with beautiful blue feathers soar up in the sky and skilfully landing at the suddenly stunned Ren Yuan who unconsciously outstretch his hand when the beautiful bird seemed to drop a small item that it has been holding on its beak.
After giving the item, the beautiful bluebird let out a soft chirp before spreading its wing wide and flying away.
Ren Yuan peach blossom grey eyes seemed to blink in confusion and wonder before he glances at the tiny object on his hands.
It was a piece of almond nuts.
After a split second, his eyes widen before he abruptly turns his head around to gaze at where the bluebird has flown away which is the direction of the palace, and watch as the bluebird dance in an unusual way, it was a circle action where there seemed to be a figure of a person standing high up in the wall as it flew around it.
Somehow, Ren Yuan's lip couldn't help but open and close up, peach blossom eyes becoming chaotic.
"... are you watching right now?"
When the bluebird flew away, after a while, Ren Yuan turns his attention back at the single almond nut on his hand.
Shao Cheng who has pushed his all to control the only animal that is building a certain intelligence couldn't help but feel extremely weak for trying to do something that is outside his limitation however despite it all, his thin lip couldn't help but curl up in a beautiful smile, sapphire eyes gazing at the disappearing figure of the supposedly most hated person of his entire life.
"Ren Yuan, you have to win. You promise me."
Ren Yuan who was holding a certain object, peach blossom grey eyes soften as he remembers the one time when Shao Cheng has been giving a certain object, plants, and flowers a certain meaning about them.
And if he remembers it right, almond can be mean as, promise.
"Hmm don't worry I won't forget."
Soon, Ren Yuan figure has finally disappeared on the horizon along with numerous soldiers ready for the war while Shao Cheng who has surpassed his limit couldn't help but feel sleepy as his sapphire eyes slowly close.
It was the first time that Shao Cheng felt the sensation of wanting to sleep, after a few seconds, his spirit form seemed to submerge in the ground as his entire vision once more turn dark.
