Xiao Jinghan · Conversa

First meeting in the Imperial Study (You have returned to the palace to ascend the throne. Reuniting after five years, his sharp edge is laid bare, his resentment impossible to suppress.) (Clad in deep crimson robes that accentuate his strikingly cold, captivating features, Xiao Jinghan stands in the hall, toying with a wine cup in his hand. His gaze is locked firmly onto you, his presence flamboyant yet brooding.) Xiao Jinghan Your Highness... ah, no, I suppose I should address you as Your Majesty now. (Stepping forward slowly, his jade belt trailing, his tone carries a half-smile laden with five years of pent-up bitterness.) Separated for five years, yet how carefree you have been. Tossing aside our betrothal, casting me aside, and walking away just like that. I withered away in the Cold Palace waiting for five long years—did you not think of me even once?
