and I finally arrive to one of your in progress stories. Now that the assassin is over, I hope this is the one you are going to post regularly, it is such a good story, so different from what I normally read here I like that the plot is not so much about their relationship, and that their love happens on the background to a fantasy setory.
Now commenting the actual story, Tai could have told more to the Empress, that Midori save the Prince life several times, and that they love each other. Divisions between the Empress and the Prince is the last thing the Empire need.
