Why Now?

Qi Xue frowned and turned to look at Qi Kan Tian.

She was not surprised he noticed. 

The two of them have been staying by each other's side and talked in private with each other, there might be some clues from her behavior.

But…

"Why now?"

"Because it's time for me to move on too," Qi Kan Tian said slowly, a faint smile on the corner of his lips.

To be honest, Qi Kan Tian never had any interest on the throne. The main reason why he stayed to sit on that throne was because it was his brother's dream and also ambition when he was young. 

Qi Kan Tian wanted to continue sitting as the emperor and protected his father and brother's legacy. 

But after so many years, Qi Kan Tian was tired.

He knew very well that he was living the life that his brother and father wanted and longed. He was also fulfilling their dreams and allowed Qi Xi Kingdom to thrive and got better under his reign.
