Tei, my poor snowflake is reliving his mother's past. For the mum, it was seen in the difference in climate (from a hot birth place to an extremely cold marriage place) which contributed to her suffering alone and eventual death. Whereas, in Tei's case it's not an exact replica but the patterns are similar almost metaphoric, from a 'I'm a fulfilled,well decorated Lord &amp; warrior (my achievements reflect my worth) to it's flip side I'm a 'hoarfrost' male-consort who's old and not outstanding like the princesses and princes in the king's harem (my age, looks and previous standing negate my worth).<br />I sincerely hope that incase it happens, Shuraka will welcome Tei's last ditch advances towards him cause if not, that will be his (Tei's) breaking point. Tei might even run away. 😬
