Chapter 17: Arc 2:9

As Song Qiang, who was named Zi Qiang by Kate on his amnseia era, stood in the room with the young miss in front of him and Gu Xixi at his side, his mind turned as he could not help but feel conflicted after he thought that it was time to reclaim his throne back from his brother when he saw that he wouldn't get a response back from the young miss to his confession almost every day by giving red carnation to her.

He had a burning desire to reclaim his throne and restore justice to the empire, which was rightfully his since the empire was starting to rot under the rule of his brother, seeing that almost all the people was suffering because of the corruptness that his brother had turned a blind eye with.

But then, on the other hand, his feelings for the young miss had grown so strong that he couldn't keep them a secret anymore for those who had eyes. He was torn between his duty as the emperor and his personal desires in life.
