Jin waited nervously in the Hall of Infinite Wisdom. Glancing at his brothers who stood on either side of him, he took a deep breath, trying not to make it obvious that he was apprehensive. His brothers were all dressed in black with thick red sashes around their waists. The long floor-length tunics were the exact opposite of Jin’s, which was dark red with a black sash that tied on the side and hung down from the waist. Beneath the waistbands, the male gowns flowed freely, allowing movement of the legs. Buttons were fastened all the way down the front of the outfit. At the collars and the end of the long sleeves, bits of white could be seen. The white was the underlining of the male gowns and very soft to the touch. The brothers stood before their parents who sat regally on their thrones. The emperor and empress also wore red, only their silk brocade was embroidered with the black dragons outlined in gold. The empress wore an elaborate hairdo, complete with fringe that hung before her face in long golden chains. They all waited for Francesca to arrive.

Jin knew his sister had orders to keep Francesca busy until all the noble families arrived to bear witness, but the wait was slowly killing him. The night before it had been hard not to tell her what was going to happen the next day. And that morning, he’d panicked upon finding her gone. The nobles had already been invited to the palace to bear witness. Luckily his brothers had stayed outside the royal bedchamber

for the night, watching for a possible escape attempt. When she left for her morning exercise, ancestors were watching her every move.

Fen had been a great help to the family, more so than Francesca could ever realize. His sister had a truly good heart, one that shone in her every word, but she also loved her family and her people above all else.

When she talked to Jin’s bride, Fen’s goodness would shine through. And when she deceived her, it would be believable. People like Francesca made their minds up quickly about people. From what Fen said, she treated the princess just as she intended to be treated.

“This is the only way, Jin.”

Jin glanced at his younger brother. Shen was blessed with the ability of foresight. It was this gift, one of the many bestowed upon the royal family with the aid of the Jade Phoenix, that the younger prince saw with now. A deep thinker, Shen well understood the paths people walked. He might not know why, but he could see where they would end up due to their actions. The problem was, as people’s action changed, so did their course and nothing was ever certain. The further ahead Shen looked, the more unclear his foresight became. And he couldn’t always control what he saw. He claimed most of his knowledge was based on instinct and feelings.

All of the Zhang children were blessed by the Jade Phoenix the day they were born.
