Imperial Lord Xiang beamed at the sight of his son mingling with the princess. He turned to Emperor Xandr, a hopeful expression on his face. "They make a perfect match. Their marriage must have been anointed by the gods. They look perfect."
The emperor scoffed. If it weren’t for his mother pushing for a peace treaty, he wouldn’t even consider offering my daughter to this Republic scum. Imperial Lord Xiang’s smile faded as he turned away.
Xiang Yu could not bear the tension between the two half siblings, their snide remarks dripping with disdain. He stood abruptly.
"Does Your Highness want me to accompany you?" Sirius asked, a hint of flirtation in his voice. Xiang Yu wasn’t polite. He raised his middle finger, not bothering to answer, and walked away.
As soon as he left, Sienna glared at her half brother. "Will you go away, or I will tell Father."
Sirius’s jovial expression vanished. "As your brother, it’s my responsibility to vet your future partner."
He adjusted his cuffs, the lightheartedness gone. "Besides, I heard he is into alphas, so I want to test that theory before your marriage."
Sienna’s frustration boiled over, yet she held her ground. "It’s not true, so you can stop trying."
Sirius leaned in closer, his voice a whisper. "So you two really did it?" Sienna hesitated, her mouth opening to deny it, but then she shut it again, her cheeks flushing.
Sirius’s eyes hardened. "You really did it
Before Sienna could respond, Peng Xiu approached, her presence cutting through the tension. "May I sit here?"
The siblings were still locked in a silent battle, their glares sharp enough to cut. Peng Xiu sensed the charged atmosphere but decided to sit anyway. "It’s truly an honour to sit with Your Highnesses," she said, but her words hung in the air, unanswered.

As their kiss deepened, Han Xin’s hand travelled up Xiang Yu’s nape, his fingers tangling in his hair, pulling him closer. Xiang Yu moaned into Han Xin’s mouth, the sound muffled by their passionate embrace. Han Xin’s other hand slid down to grip Xiang Yu’s thigh, his fingers squeezing possessively.
Finally, needing to breathe, Xiang Yu broke the kiss, his chest heaving. His lips were swollen from the intensity, and his eyes sparkled with unshed tears, a mixture of anger and desire. Han Xin’s breath was hot against his neck as he whispered, "Your Highness, you can only be mine."
Xiang Yu’s anger seemed to melt away at the sound of Han Xin’s possessive words. Xiang Yu, his fingers entwined in Han Xin’s hair as he elongated his neck, offering it to Han Xin’s seeking lips. "What are you doing?" he whispered, his voice breathy and raspy.
Han Xin’s lips trailed down, leaving a path of kisses along Xiang Yu’s jawline, sending shivers down his spine. His mouth found the sensitive spot on Xiang Yu’s neck, and he sucked gently, leaving a mark that would serve as a reminder of their passion.
Xiang Yu gasped, his head falling back, exposing more of his neck. Han Xin’s hands roamed freely, exploring the curves of Xiang Yu’s body, his fingers tracing the outline of his lover’s firm buttocks through the fabric of his clothes.
Han Xin slid his hands into Xiang Yu’s pants, his fingers brushing against the man’s hardening member. Xiang Yu gasped, pressing his hands on Han Xin’s shoulders, pushing him away slightly. "Han Xin," he whispered, "I have to go back."
Han Xin, however, had other plans. "Not right now," he whispered, his eyes dark with desire. "I will be quick." Before Xiang Yu could respond, Han Xin dropped to his knees, almost giving Xiang Yu a heart attack.
