"Alright." Xiao Jinxing agreed immediately.
He could only agree.
"Since Your Majesty has chosen to be a good emperor, time and again chosen to be a good emperor, I ask that from now on, you truly act for the country and the people, for the whole realm, for the peace and prosperity of the Daxuan Kingdom..." An Ning's eyes moved slightly, "to spread the branches and leaves."
"Is this your final request of me?" Xiao Jinxing asked.
"As a citizen of the Daxuan Kingdom, this is my expectation of Your Majesty." An Ning was honest.
"Very well, I promise you." Xiao Jinxing nodded.
"I toast to you." An Ning picked up the nearby wine, pouring a cup for Xiao Jinxing and one for herself.
Xiao Jinxing gazed at the wine cup before him.
"Neither love nor hate, neither resentment nor regret." An Ning raised her cup, "From here on, our paths separate, and the road ahead is long."
Xiao Jinxing looked at the determination in An Ning's eyes.
Watching her resoluteness in letting go.
