Hearing his words, Nangong Lin was not surprised because Alvin had stated from the beginning that he could stay in the Empire.
It was just his unilateral idea, without the Queen’s support.
But could she be so selfish?
Alvin could say without a care that he’d stay in the Empire, that he’d follow her, that no matter her decision, he would follow her, as if he truly meant it.
But was it fair to him?
If he stayed in the Empire, wouldn’t he be just like her?
Living on a piece of unfamiliar land, away from his own country?
Leaving behind family, friends, and the country that gave him life?
Moreover, he was a prince, how serious would it be for a prince to leave his own country?
Once in the Empire, he would be nothing.
Yet he resolutely decided to give up his princely identity, not even furrowing his brow, as if it was some easy thing.
But Nangong Lin knew, it wasn’t easy at all, and in private, she didn’t know how much he had to endure.
Looking at him, Nangong Lin felt somewhat moved.
No, she was very moved.
Still in her emotions, Alvin’s long fingers brushed over her eyebrows and eyes, and he said to her affectionately, "Xiaolin, I never told you what I truly want. Actually, power and money mean nothing to me. What I desire most is to share my life with a woman I love and who loves me, to build a happy and fulfilling family. That’s probably the resolve I have in life."
Nangong Lin’s eyes widened, "But are you willing to abandon your parents and your country for this woman?"
