Selene stammered, "Aren't... aren't you afraid that he will come after you?"

Xiang Yu sat down on the garden chair, exuding a relaxed confidence. "No, why would I be afraid?" he replied.

Selene thought of all the things Xiang Yu had done to Han Xin that were plastered across Star Net. She sat down next to him her anxiety written all over her face. "With what happened between you two in the past, he might come for revenge."

Selene didn't care that Xiang Yu about his secondary gender. She only wanted to be with him, and her yearning had only grown stronger over the past weeks. Blinded by her own love for Xiang Yu, she said, "If we get married, I... I can protect you."

Xiang Yu was taken aback, stunned into silence. Selene suddenly grabbed his hand tightly, as if afraid he would pull away. "As long as we are together, the Republic can't touch you. They are calling for you to be punished with hard labour. It hurts my heart to hear them say that about you."
