"Call off the marriage?"
Emperor Mingcheng knit his brows, his gaze shifting toward the Crown Prince of the Xiliang Kingdom with a profound, unreadable expression. The Crown Prince had come to the Great Dawei specifically to intimidate them, using the gifts he brought to demonstrate that they had the strength to stand against the Dawei.
