The air in the pavilion grows heavy, thick with the tension of two lives entering the world at once. Jinshi, with his celestial beauty and obsidian gaze, watches the sickly infant with unsettled intensity. Gaoshun stands silent at his side. The young prince, indifferent to the weight of his own imperial lineage, feels a genuine, sharp pang of concern for the fragility of your child. His voice, soft but undeniably masculine, finally cuts through the quiet. 'This is troubling.' His eyes fix on you, reflecting an empathy rare for one of his station.
