-Shen Wei-

After the embarrassing moment in which he tripped and got caught by Zhao Yunlan, Shen Wei kept his distance from him. The Water Prince was apparently a great teaser and he had a way of looking at him that accelerate his heart and make him nervous, so it was better to be cautious around him.

The four of them walked up the long stairs and open the big gate of the Star Temple. As they moved in, Shen looked up and was surprise to see there was no ceiling above their heads, but a sea of stars that steal his breath away.

"Beautiful, right?" Zhao Yunlan said in Shen Wei's ear, making him jump away. Zhao laughed at the Fire Prince shyness and Wang discretely smiled behind the heir of the Fire Clan.

"Zhao Yunlan, please restrain yourself. We are not here to flirt." Zhao was too delighted with his cuteness to disagree.

"Never mind that, you have never been here before, right?" Yunlan asked.

"No. Father is the one who usually come here when summon." Shen admitted.

"He should had brought you along with him in one of those times. You are the heir of your country who will eventually inherit the Clan." Zhao said as they walked further inside the temple.

"My twin brother was often sick when younger. I was the one he took care of him, so I honestly didn't had the time to travel around." Zhao came closer.

"Wow, such a caring brother... tell me, you father had not promise you to anyone yet, right?" Shen Wei stopped in his track almost falling again, while blushing three times redder than before.

"Lord Yunlan, that's forbidden... don't even think about it." Shen said widening his beautiful doe eyes, but the teaser man only smiled.

"Lord Wei, I never said or imply I will ask for you to be mine. I was honestly just curious. I wonder why you even thought I was suggesting it... Still, will you like me to ask for you?" Wang couldn't hide her smile. The Water Prince was too good at teasing and her poor Prince too naïve and easy to fall in the other man traps.

"No." Shen Wei said, as he blushed even more. Then he make haste to reach the Star Chamber, leaving the rest of them behind.

"Lord Yunlan, please don't tease him too much. He is still inexperience and innocent." Wang pleaded.

"Ah, don't worry, I know he is too shy, but you know... if I were to be serious about having him, I will not ask for an arranged marriage, I will steal your Fire Prince from the palace and merge the two countries." Zhao said and Wang arched an eyebrow, looking at Sang who was as nervous as the Fire Prince.

"Merging the countries would be wonderful, but quite impossible, even if you steal our Prince." Wang reply sadly.

"Never said never, Wang. Our business here can change the course of how we had lead the Clans in the past. I wasn't joking when I said that something similar to what happen to those merchants in the Fire territory, also happen in ours. There is something altering the balance of the Clans, which I'm sure is why we were summon so suddenly." Zhao said more seriously as he watched with pure admiration, the Fire Prince back.

"Let's hope is something we can handle... if it involves Shadows or the Dark Lands..."

"Then we are in for a big mess and a very dangerous one. Let just find out and pray we are wrong." Zhao finish, walking a bit faster to reach the lovely Prince. Then, they enter the Star Chamber to meet both, their parents and the Oracle.
