"Your highness, Lord Pegasus has returned, the emperor sent a message for you"
My eyes flew open?
Lord Pegasus has returned?
But he hasn't been here for a few years, so why did he came back?
"What's the matter?"
"This servant is incompetent, your majesty the emperor will bestow an imperial decree, his highness needs to receive it at the palace immediately"
I immediately rushed out and went to the palace.
When I got there everyone was already seated at there corresponding t.i.tles. I was the only one left.
"Greetings to the Emperor, may the Emperor grace his kingdom a few thousand years more"
The emperor laughed
"Why are you so serious? Tomorrow we will be having a banquet for the arrival of Lord Pegasus now receive my decree"
Eunuch Fang brought a decree and read it loudly.
"The crown prince of Crimson Blood Kingdom, Xie Yue Yang is betrothed to the third miss of the Qin Clan. The marriage date will be a year from now. Receive the decree!"
I felt my knees weaken on its own. My body gave up and I kneeled down to receive my father's decree. A marriage? But why?
He knew I cannot bear getting into a relations.h.i.+p with a woman. How can he bestow a marriage out of a sudden. Why?
Why is he punis.h.i.+ng me? I know it is a sin to have a liking towards the same s.e.x, but I cannot help it. My idea of being happy is to be with someone I am very comfortable of. I cannot just abandon everything for a girl, now can I?
"I humbly receive the emperor's decree, hail to the emperor, may you live a thousand years more"
Then I stood and walk to my seat dejectedly. There at the corner I saw the son of the city's lord, Han Soujin. A great warrior with good looks, someone I knew right when I was born. Someone who defended me in times of trouble and someone whose dear to me. How can I bear to be away from my own best friend?
How can I leave him for a random woman that I have never known existed.

Grief engulfed my heart.
"Your highness, his majesty the emperor has instructed me to bring you somewhere"
"But the meeting hasn't started yet"
"Your highness it is the emperor's order, we need to hurry your highness"
I stood and followed the eunuch. We walked towards my mother's courtyard, but my mother, the empress of this nation has already pa.s.sed away. I as the only heir will inherit everything that my parents have created. But my standing in court is opposed by many, they say I never had a woman by my side so they were doubting if I can rule without an heir.
For years my father has let me mingle with different girls, but I chose to go to battlefield instead and fight with the rebels. That's because I can never confront him about my gender. I may be outstanding, but I never had the heart of a man.
