Cousins Have Always Been Stunning

"What does it mean to feel safe?" "It means you have a knife in your hand, too." "Then... what is love?" "You give her the knife in your hand." "And what about loving someone deeply?" "She stabs you with the knife, and you’re still worried that your blood might get on her clothes, since there’d be no one to help her wash them." An emperor cousin, childhood sweethearts, and a favorite who reigns supreme in the harem.
