"He already has someone," she replied smilingly which caught Dai Yuan off guard.
She hugged Ceni's arm and placed her head on her shoulder.
*Sigh*
"That's never easy...when they have someone else. How did you two meet?"
Ceni looked up at the moon once again as she recalled the first time she met Hao Xuan.

The ship was about to leave for the academy in three days.
It was a warm spring morning. Ceni was sitting in her room in front of a mirror, carelessly playing with the newly obtained gold bracelet on her left wrist.
There was a red envelope and a card on the table next to her which read: "You are cordially invited to attend Princess Lea's engagement ceremony this Friday."
Lea was one of her many half-sisters that was getting married off to another clan. She wasn't very close to her but it reminded Ceni of her predicament.
"Did you not find anyone yet?" she mumbled to herself.
