The Emperor frowned when Shunsui, his trusted lady-in-waiting told him he could no longer use the guest house for his ‘special meetings,’ since they are preparing the house for the royal concubine’s arrival. Shi Ryuuki, the beautiful Emperor of the Saiunkoku, didn’t care about the arriving guest. 

"Shunsui, this is my Imperial Palace,” Ryuuki stated royally, “I shall do as I please.”

 “What if the royal concubine learns about your evening visitors?” Shunsui queried.

“Everybody knows I prefer the company of men.” The handsome royalty asked back, brushing away the golden silky strands covering his porcelain face. “ Have you seen Shuuei?”

Shunsui smiled at the young Emperor. She's convinced the persona her nineteen year old master let others paint about him was nothing but a façade. Still she’s not one to say anything about it, but follow the Emperor’s whims. “I believe the young master is sparring with Master Sou Taifu this morning." Shunsui answered.

Ryuuki didn’t wait for Shusui to finish her statement. He knew where to find his favorite friend and trusted court advisor. The young royal master love Shuuei the most, he could spend nights upon nights with him, discussing literature or politics, playing chess and drinking sake until they’re too drunk to remember whatever activities happen during their drunken stupor. When he wakes up in the morning, Shuuei’s warm body would be cuddled close to him, protecting him.

When he finally found Shuuei, Ryuuki's face brightened with a smile. Within seconds, Shuuei saw him as well and the young general quickly ended his sparring session. Ryuuki waited, watching the handsome court advisor amble towards him.

“Your Highness, seeing you has brightened my day!”

Ryuuki blushed, shyly smiling for a moment before he gazed at Shuuei with a serious look, “Did you hear about the royal concubine?”

“I did." Shuuei replied. “I knew it will eventually happen. It makes me happy to know that my prince will no longer worry of being alone.”

“I only want you Shuuei,” Ryuuki stated.

“And you already have me, Ryuuki." Shuuei answered. “It won’t hurt to meet the royal concubine, maybe it won’t be half as bad.”

 You’re not jealous? What if I end up liking her?” the young emperor asked.

“I am here to serve and protect you, Ryuuki,” Shuuei smiled, tenderly caressing Ryuuki’s face. “I will always love you, no matter what happens.”

Ryuuki eyed his trusted advisor, “Can I still call on you?”

“You can count on me always. Call me anytime. Just say when and I will be by your side.”
