...

Unfortunately, Arvind's expression remained largely unchanged as he looked at Cabeck with indifference, unaffected by Cabeck's words.

Curious? Curious about what? There's absolutely no need to be curious.

As for Arvind, he would know sooner or later what Mahind was willing to tell him.

The things I'm unwilling to tell him are either unimportant to him, or there's no point in telling him anyway.

So whether it's the former or the latter, curiosity is useless and will only affect your mindset.

Therefore, Arvind had absolutely no desire for this curiosity.

Cabecki, seeing this, was not only used to it, but also felt a bit emotional.

Compared to the legendary Arvind, the Arvind in the prison cell today bears no resemblance to the legendary man who never lost a war and only won.

The way Arvind is behaving now makes him seem less like a general and more like a monk free from worldly desires.

No matter how you look at it, the gap between the two is just too big, so big that Cabeck feels his understanding of Arvind has been shattered.

Although he was shattered and even felt that the Arvind in front of him was not the Arvind of legend, Cabeck, as a fellow inmate in the same prison, still told him what he had heard.

"The content of Tinoika's contact with Liu Ye is essentially related to the princess of the Han Empire. Now that the princess of the Han Empire has been contacted, it can be said that the process is already underway." Kabechi said through gritted teeth, suppressing the complex emotions in his heart.

"Following the procedure, Princess of the Han Empire?" Arvind, who was momentarily stunned, didn't see anything wrong with the statement or the procedure itself.

"My lifelong pursuit, my life's goal, is to marry the princess of the Han Empire. We haven't even had a chance to speak to the princess, and we don't even know how to take the first step, but this guy Tinoika is already going through the motions..." As he spoke, Cabeck felt his resentment growing stronger.

They were also familiar with the marriage procedures of the Han Empire, and could recite the entire process from beginning to end by heart.

Betrothal, asking the name, accepting auspicious gifts, presenting gifts, setting the wedding date, and welcoming the bride.

The first three steps are engagement, and the last three steps are betrothal and formal marriage. Generally speaking, once the first three steps are completed, the matter is a done deal. Once the fourth step is reached, it is difficult to back out, and it basically means that the matter is settled.

It looks simple; once they get to the fourth step, their dream will be fulfilled.

But here's the problem: how do they take the first step, and who will help them?

"What?" Arvind, after being explained and told this, finally realized what had happened. Gone was his previous lazy and indifferent attitude. He instantly appeared in front of Cabeck, his face full of curiosity.

"I wonder how far Tinoika has progressed..." Cabeck was a little surprised to see Arvind suddenly approaching, but then he felt normal.

This is what a normal Yuezhi person should do. The previous reaction and lying down behavior were not the behavior of a normal Yuezhi person at all.

"Which step have we reached? Don't you guys know this stuff by heart?" Arvind looked at Cabecki with considerable surprise. Didn't they even have a precise answer as to which step they were talking about?

“Theoretically speaking, there are several possibilities for why Liu Ye came to see Tinoyka. He might be asking for her name, his background, an auspicious day, or even deciding on a time…” Cabecki said, his resentment growing stronger. Just thinking about Tinoyka's enviable treatment filled him with increasingly complex emotions.

"Is the difference that big?" Arvind, who was unfamiliar with this area, directly expressed his doubts.

“Of course it’s huge, you could say it’s extremely huge. Knowing the current stage allows us to know whether this matter can succeed, and how long it will take to succeed.” Kabechi raised his head and said with some pride, “This is the process of the Han Empire, filled with the nobility of the Han Empire, and it can better reflect the princess’s noble status. How could it be compared to ordinary people?”

"What are the differences between these nodes? Or what are the tasks involved?" Arvind asked, displaying a studious and inquisitive nature.

Kabeci didn't hold back on this knowledge that he was already familiar with, but laid it out directly and explained the differences in each step of the Han Empire.

Arvind, who listened attentively, had already formed his own thoughts and judgments about each point after listening to Cabeck's explanation.

"Oh, so there's such a difference?" Upon hearing this, Arvind couldn't help but think of Liu Xiu, and his brows furrowed.

Judging from his previous behavior with Liu Xiu, they had reached the point where they asked each other's names, knew of each other's existence, and even revealed some of their intentions.

In other words, he and Liu Xiu had already gone through the betrothal and name-asking stages; all they needed to do was choose an auspicious day…

No, no, how can you think like that? Their behavior is normal, and their contact is normal.

After all, she was the eldest princess of the Han Empire, one of the noblest people in the world. How could she possibly be interested in a good-for-nothing like him?

Just as this thought arose in my mind, suppressing the distracting thoughts, my inner thoughts became more complex.

What if? What if Princess Yangdi also had such thoughts? Wouldn't he also have a chance?

All it takes is one step, just getting Najib's approval, and he will have a chance, a chance to succeed.

Arvind, who had already been lying down, became increasingly excited as he recalled what Cabeck had said about the three letters and six rites, and the etiquette that seemed so close yet so far.

Although I kept telling myself that the chances were slim, hope kept rising in my heart.

What if? What if there's actually a chance of success?

It can be said that after a period of struggle, Arvind's inner thoughts finally overwhelmed his rationality.

It's just one step away from success, so why can't we try harder? Why can't we give it a shot?

Although I consider myself a good-for-nothing, even a good-for-nothing has ideals. Although the pressure of these ideals is immense, they are also possible to achieve.

Even if the probability is very low, it's still a possibility.

Seeing Arvind lost in thought, Cabeck thought this behavior was normal and didn't want to disturb his reverie. He pressed his ear back against the wall, simply listening to the sounds from the other side. (End of Chapter)
