Meizu, An Encounter

"Oh, is it?" Auntie Shan's eyes lit up with understanding. "Little Jianyu, don't abuse the power that the Imperial Palace has bestowed you." She said with seriousness.

"I heard that His Imperial Majesty is a very magnanimous and powerful man who defeated the Traitor Guan and his army from the mercenaries that sometimes pass by our village. They said that His Imperial Majesty is also hellbent on improving the dynasty. That kind of ruler needs to be respected and honored."

Hearing her talk, Matthias smiled slightly. Knowing and hearing that his subjects knew him that way made his heart warm up.

"Jianyu, you're leaving, right?" Han Qiaoyi reminded him.

"Oh, right." Matthias nodded, "Father, Mother, Auntie Shan, I'm leaving. Stay safe."

"Mhmm." Auntie Shan nodded and smiled.

He rode his horse and left the village galloping. The villagers dispersed, same with the Han parents.
