She knew that if anyone found out about their relationship that they would both be in trouble. Her young lord would most likely be exiled, and she would be fired from being his guard.

Sometimes, she envied other relationships.

Alphonse and May had caused a lot of drama and hardship when Xing got wind of their relationship, though the reactions would be worse if Xing heard about the emperor and his guard.

Alphonse and May had still caused an uproar though. A princess and a foreign commoner!? Luckily, Al and May had moved to Amestris, because Al wanted to be near his brother, so Al and May had not heard the worst of the rumors. If they had they would probably be appalled.

Sometimes, she wished she could be more like them, relationship-wise, or perhaps like the Mustangs. Roy Mustang had became fuhrer, and completely got rid of the no relationship in the military ban, and of course married Riza Hawkeye.

Lan Fan wished it was that way with her and Ling. Ling, however, was not able to change the law that the emperor had to marry a girl from each clan, so her and her young lord were reduced to keeping their relationship a secret.

She, even, longed for a relationship as easy as Winry's and Edward's. There were no restrictions on Ed's and Winry's relationship, after all, they were childhood friends, and nothing about that was political.

She quickly decided that a relationship, like Edward's and Winry's was too boring. She was content with a few stolen kisses, at the dead of night, for now.
