Hand in hand, Nathan and I began to dance, drawing everyone's attention. Nathan wore a bright smile, amused by everything.
"I can't believe the day has come where I can be close to you without hiding." He said, his eyes flashed with a hint of sadness.
All these years, Nathan had been living under my shadow, postponing his role as Crown Prince and living with me in the South. Now the time was right for Nathan to step into the light as the future Emperor of the Empire and the male lead.
More importantly, as my lover.
"If you're already happy with this, then you need to brace yourself for more," I said, moving closer to him as we glided across the dance floor.
My grip on his shoulder tightened, becoming more intimate. "Your role will involve getting even closer to me."
Nathan's dazzling smile appeared on his face.
