Chapter 469: A Betrothal?
"I really wanted him to give the antidote to that woman. If so, we’d have already crossed the border by now", Xing and placed her teacup with a bang on the table startling the officials of the Water Empire who attended the banquet.
With her extravagant attire completed with her exquisitely made hairstyle,she looked truly becoming as always except for the frown in her face.
Chenglei couldn’t help but smile gently at his wife and held her hand and gently patted it to soothe her.
"Why are you calm?",she pouted. "Go kill him and let’s take his kingdom and our son", she said and Chenglei chuckled.
"No we can’t"
" Yes, we can! Why can’t we?"
"Because you really don’t want it"
"You are right... I really don’t", Xing leaned on Chenglei.
The Water Emperor announced Little Xinxin as the crown Prince and everyone knelt in front of the Emperor and his son.
There were many who found it unbelievable after they saw Chenglei with Xinxin. He looked more like Chenglei than his own father but there were definite proof from the letters Yukiko sent to the official transactions between the Water Emperor and the Wind Emperor regarding the safe housing of the Crown Prince of Water Kingdom with Prince Jin of Water Kingdom.
Some doubted Xinxin’s loyalty to the Water Emperor. Xing and Chenglei both knew that is some doubt that will follow them for years to come and they might be doubted in every turn. The Li family will be doubted in their Wind Kingdom while Xinxin will be doubted in his Water Kingdom. But it can be handled since they are smart and have power to handle it.
Xing taught Guyu language and the three kingdom’s languages to all of her children and Xinxin was fluent in all four languages and interacted with the officials in their mother-tongue and that pacified most of the officials.
