[That rascal from the borderlands swept away the most beautiful and well-behaved princess in the capital!!!]
Princess Kaiyang rarely spoke. What she did most often was tilt her head back and gaze at the stars scattered across the vast sky.
Her delicate face was aloof and distant, like the loveliest glass doll.
But on Mid-Autumn night, the young marquis from the borderlands jumped down from a tree, grabbed her hand, and led her through a crowd to escape notice. They stumbled into a bustling, lively market.
The fifteen-year-old boy thumped his chest and vowed with great bravado, "Don't be afraid. Stay behind me, and I'll protect you!"
As he said this, Kaiyang was biting into a candied hawthorn skewer, gazing intently up at the flowers of light bursting across the night sky.
The boy, meanwhile, was secretly watching her.
When the palace finally came searching in a panic, the old marquis grabbed the boy by the ear. "You've gotten more and more brazen. You actually dared to sneak the princess out of the palace!"
Later, the audacious young marquis didn't just sneak the princess out of the palace. He took her straight to his own base and pointed toward the boundless, brilliant river of stars over the borderlands.
"Would you trade the road of stars stretching ten thousand miles for a moment of your time with me?"
Kaiyang looked into his eyes, his pupils full of the Milky Way. She gave a faint smile and softly said, "I will."
