Over time, Princess His Highness developed some different thoughts.
After returning to the Endless Sea, Princess His Highness asked General Bai time and again to bring back some of her favorite foods from the land, as well as some entertaining trinkets.
Of course, it wasn't just because she was greedy for play and food, but because only then could she earn a few meetings with General Bai.
"I really have fallen in love with him, but I just don't know how to express it."
"Are you sure your feelings for General Bai are romantic, and not just the affection found between playmates?"
Many emotions are indeed misinterpreted like this - two individuals may get along well and enjoy playing together, but this definitely does not prove the presence of deeper feelings.
As friends, this is a fine choice, but as lovers, it would only make both parties feel uncomfortable. The expected outcome is easy to guess, a parting of ways without joy.
