Edweard knew that his father cared about nothing but power. He had learnt this trail from him only. To guard your heart and emotions. To never care and only think from your mind. To try your best to hold power and wealth. That is how you could run the empire.
Emperors were there to rule not to whisper love to their family. Their marriage should bring benefits. To them to the empire. And he had done that all his life. Even when the women whispered love to him at night, he only laughed and ignored his emotions.
Even when he had chosen Olivia, he had done it for the benefit he was getting. For him, she was nothing more than a weapon. Until.. He had lost her.
Now he was standing at the door of Shaya. He had not even looked at her as a man looked at a woman. For him, she was just an envoy. But now.. He took a deep breath. He had flirted all his life and lured many women to his bed. He could do it with her too.
