MY EVIL PRINCESS: Chapter 9: The doubt of Tian Liam
PART 64 – THE DOUBT OF TIAN LIAM
-Hi Mr. Hu! – Hou Lei ignored Tian Liam and gave Mr. Hu the vase. – This is for you!
-What’s this, my Princess? – Mr. Hu asked.
-This is the vase of wine Ms. Miang Xiang asked me to give you. She is busy and can’t come here to give you by herself. – She answered.
-Thank you so much, my Princess! This is the best wine in our country I think and the only one having it is Miang Xiang! – Mr. Hu received the vase.
-You and Miang Xiang have been friends for a long time? – She continued. – She seems to know well about you, and you too.
-Yup, it’s a long time since we first met. – Mr. Hu saw the uncomfortable expression of Tian Liam and stopped. – Oh, my Princess, sorry I have something to do now. I’ll go first!
He said and left immediately. Hou Lei felt something wrong and looked at Tian Liam. He showed a cutie face to her.
-Sorry, Hou Lei, I shouldn’t shout at you! – He held her hands.
-I don’t care about that! – She replied.
-I can see that you did care, you ignored me and talked to Mr. Hu instead.
-I don’t care is I don’t care, okay! – She impressed her words.
After that, she took her hands out of his hands and walked back to her place.
-She must do care! – He said to himself. – Wang Tian Liam, don’t know what you want to do now? You just got a little bit care from her, you can’t let it lose like that!
He walked back to his room, however, the thoughts about the strange dream still danced in his head. He decided to take one last inspection. He called some of his trustworthy soldiers to meet him privately in his reading room. He prepared some trunks, one with gold and jewelry, one with some rolls of fabric, one of birdnest and ginseng.
-I want you to bring these trunks to the West Land and give them to my parents-in-law. – He said to the soldiers. – Do you know how important these are?
-We know that, my Prince. – The leader of soldiers answered.
-Good, so bring them there and give this letter to my father-in-law. Remember, you must give it directly to him, no one else.
-We’re clear, my Prince.
-Get your preparation and go there as soon as possible. And you know, don’t let Princess Hou Lei know about your trip.
Hou Lei was on the way coming back after greeting the Queen. She saw the soldiers getting out of Tian Liam’s room with some big trunks. She turned to Ah Jiang:
-You come back first, I forgot to tell the Queen something.
-Yes, My Princess! – Ah Jiang said and left.
Thinking that those trunks had to be related to her, she followed the soldiers. Passing some buildings, she looked around and saw no one except the soldiers. She waved her hand and chanted a spell, then she pointed to the leader of the soldiers, making a signal of magic appear on his body.
“This signal will help me to know what you and Tian Liam are planning to do. It must be the effect of the dream he got in Miang Xiang’s motel. I still wonder what he got in his dream, his behavior has been changed a little bit from that night. He seems to have something suspicious about me, don’t know clearly but I think I should be careful, it’ll be better to me.”, she whispered to herself, looking at the soldiers one more time and left her hiding place.
That night, Hou Lei chanted her spell and knew that the soldiers’ direction was to the West Land. She thought that Tian Liam had to have doubts about her and her mysterious actions. She had asked him about the gold warehouse of the royal family. She guessed if the Hou Ma gem was in the palace, it had to be in that warehouse.
“If Tian Liam has doubts about me, I must have my moves earlier. Although my magic isn’t good now, I can’t wait anymore, I must visit the gold warehouse to find the Hou Ma gem. I’m so sorry, Tian Liam, but this is what I must do. I have to find out the gem to help my tribe.”
She stood up and got some herbs with her. She walked out of her room and went to the gold warehouse. There were many soldiers outside the warehouse. She raised her hand with the herbs and chanted a spell making the herbs burnt and their ash flew to the soldiers. They breathed the ash in and fell down to the ground. That kind of herb was the same with what she left to Tian Liam for fighting with the Er tribe before their wedding. But she had the easier way to use it and knew exactly the application of it.

She looked around carefully and got access to the door of the warehouse. There was no one surrounding her place. She opened the door and got inside. There were a lot of trunks of gold and jewelry in the warehouse. Hou Lei walked around and felt amazed by the things she saw, many of them were the first time she touched. The jewelry had many kinds of shapes and colors. She suddenly reminded herself about her mission here. She walked to an empty area in the middle of the building. She raised her hands up and chanted a spell making her fly up. A pink light surrounding her body and a wave of light formed from her hands. The wave spread throught the atmosphere and made its way across the building.
“This wave can detect the power of Hou Ma gem. But there was no signal of the power here, so the gem isn’t here? I must spend more power to get the power of the wave stronger and affect throughout the palace, maybe I can find it.”
She continued to chant the spell and the wave spread larger, passing through the wall of the warehouse and got in all the directions to everywhere in the palace. Suddenly, the wave met a source of power which replied her call, making the wave come back to Hou Lei’s place. She took down on the ground, that source was very strong but it prevented her from knowing where it took place.
“So I can define that the Hou Ma gem is here, right in the palace, but its power is too strong to determine its place. It has taken a while, I should get out of here before someone sees the sleeping soldiers and gets into here for checking.”
She walked out of the warehouse and carefully closed the door. The soldiers were still deeply in sleeping without knowing anything happen around them. She got out some herbs and dropped them to the soldiers’ face. She got her hide behind a big tree and looked at the soldier's place. After some seconds, the soldiers woke up and acted as nothing had happened. She did not want to hurt anyone on the way of doing her plan. She felt very sorry for pulling Tian Liam into her life and making him suffer the disappointment in loving her.
She then walked back to her room, on the way, she saw the Soldier General was walking with some soldiers for checking the status of the palace. She hid behind a big entrance door waiting for them to pass and watched out carefully before continuing return to her room. When she reached her room, she saw the door was opening. She was surprised and slowly got into the room. Tian Liam was sitting on a chair next to the table, his face was very serious.

-Tian Liam, what are you doing here? – She asked.
-Well, I’m here to give you something. – He replied, not looking at her. – What are you doing out there?
-I… I… - She paused.
-Don’t answer me that you want to take some fresh air.

MY EVIL PRINCESS: Chapter 9: The doubt of Tian Liam
PART 63 – TIAN LIAM’S DREAM_3
-It’s not important now! – Tian Liam replied. – How do you feel?
-I’m not good now, Tian Liam. – Hou Lei answered with a very weak voice. – I can’t stand it anymore, sorry for lying to you and your mother.
-Lie? – He surprised. – What happened? Why “this guy” tied you here? And your body has many wounds and it’s bleeding a lot.
-It’s my fault, I shouldn’t come here, shouldn’t marry you, and shouldn’t appear in your life.
-Right or wrong is not important anymore. I’ll take you down of this pole.
Tian Liam found a knife and cut the rope tying Hou Lei. He helped Hou Lei walked down of the place she had been tied with the pole. She was very weak now, her breath was very slow and heavy.
-Hou Lei, stay with me! – He started to cry.
-Tian Liam, sorry for lying to you! I didn’t mean to do that!
- I need to save you first!
-I can’t stand it more, Tian Liam, sorry for not telling you the truth about me.
-I’ll accept all the truth about you, my cutie wife, please, stay with me! – He could not stop his tears from falling down.
-Live a good life, my husband! – She touched his face and smiled. – I… can’t…
-Don’t say anything! I’ll bring you to the doctors, they can help you!
-I… can’t… be… with you… anymore… Please… forgive me…
Then she closed her eyes and her hand dropped down to the ground.

-No… Hou Lei!!! – He yelled in pain and tears. – Stay with me!
“Stay with me, Hou Lei!!!!”, Tian Liam called out from the dream into real life. He suddenly woke up with a lot of sweats on his forehead. He looked at the part of the bed next to him and Hou Lei was not there with him.
-Hou Lei! Hou Lei! Where are you? – He looked around.
And he saw her laying on the floor. He ran to her place and helped her up, she was normal but did not reply to his questions. He carried her up by his hands and brought her to the bed, took the blanket to cover her body well. Then he walked to the table and sat on a chair, took a cup of tea. Looking at her laying on the bed, he thought about his dream, what was the meaning of some kinds of dreams like that? Was it a prediction dream? Or it was just what he was scared of most?
The thoughts ran around in his head and made him feel a headache. Another thing, he wondered why she fell down on the floor like that. Many things needed to be revealed, he sat there for a while and decided to go to bed, he could not handle those things now.
The next morning came, he woke up when the sunlight reached his face. He opened his eyes and saw Hou Lei was preparing the table setting for their breakfasts. She smiled with him and said:
-Thank you for carrying me onto the bed last night. I came back from the toilet and felt dizzy, and I don’t know what happened after that.
-Okay, not a problem. – He replied. – That’s what I should do.
-Here for you! – She brought a basin of water and a towel for him.
-Thank you. – He looked at her strangely, still remembered about the dream.
-What’s wrong? Is there anything on my face?
-Oh, no… I just… oh, nothing to worry!
He walked out of the bed, washed his face and sat next to the table with her.
-This food is made by the chefs of this motel, not me!
-I can know that the smell isn’t like your food!
-You can recognize my food’s smell? – She surprised. – Impressive!
-That’s what I concerned about every day, so I must remember it well. If you are not by my side anymore, I must miss your food much.
-“I’m not by your side”? – She stopped putting rice into his bowl. – So you will give up and send me back to the West Land?

-No, that’s not even my idea. I just think about that, never mind. Let’s have our breakfasts and return to the palace, I have something to do there.
Hou Lei wanted to ask about his status last night, but she thought she should not. He seemed to be suspicious of her actions. His voice with her today was different from he used to, not warm and not excited about talking with her.
-My Prince, My Princess, can I get in? – Miang Xiang knocked on the door.
-Okay, Ms. Miang Xiang. – Hou Lei answered.
-Did you feel comfortable here last night? – Miang Xiang asked.
-Oh, well, it was very good. – Tian Liam replied. – Your service was very good.
-Thank you so much for staying here. – Miang Xiang smiled. – My Princess, could you have me a favor?
-What’s that? – She asked. – I’ll help you if I can.
-I have a vase of wine. – Miang Xiang put a vase on the table. – Mr. Hu, your Soldier General, likes this kind of wine much, could you please help me to bring this vase to him? I have some special guests today, so I can't give it to him by myself.
-Of course yes, it’s not a problem. – She smiled.
-Thank you so much, my Princess! I’ll go first! – Miang Xiang stood up. – Goodbye My Prince, My Princess! Nice that you two stayed here last night!
Miang Xiang walked out and closed the door. Her face was not as good as she acted in front of Hou Lei and Tian Liam. She was like getting hurt after a fight, her face was all white and she had to hold on the wall to walk down to her room. She got into her room and sat on her bed.
“Hou Lei, I can’t think that your magic is getting better much day by day. Last night if I didn’t prepare well, maybe your magic could break my spell and make me hurt. Let’s see what will come next to you and the Prince! Hope you two can pass all the difficulties!”.
Tian Liam and Hou Lei returned to the palace. He gave the rolls of fabric to the maid and went to the Soldier General’s place with her. On the way, they passed through a big entrance and there was the yard where his dream had taken place. He stopped walking, looked up to the high floor of the entrance where “he” stood there. Hou Lei looked at him, she whispered a spell to check if there was any trace of magic on his body and found nothing. However, she could feel the trace of powerful magic surrounding the place they were standing.
-Tian Liam, are you okay? – She asked.
-Oh, nothing, I just think about something. – He replied and continued to walk.
-You look serious! Is there anything wrong?
-Nothing, I said nothing, okay! – He shouted.
-My Prince, My Princess! – The Soldier General greeted them.

MY EVIL PRINCESS: Chapter 9: The doubt of Tian Liam
PART 62 – TIAN LIAM’S DREAM_2
-It’s Miss Miang Xiang’s motel. – Hou Lei said.
-The rain is very heavy, and I see it won’t end soon. – Tian Liam looked at the dark sky. – We should take a rest here waiting for its end.
-Oh, My Prince, My Princess. – Miang Xiang greeted them as they walked into her motel.
-Hello, Miss Miang Xiang. – She said. – We want to rent a room.
-I think that’s a good idea for you two now. – Miang Xiang found something in her logbook. – The rain won’t end so early, the sky is very dark, it seems to be a very long raining period.
-I guess we should stay here for a night. – He said. – I’ll rent a room, and please bring us some tea and food.
-Of course, my Prince, you are my VIP guests. – She smiled. – Come with me.
Miang Xiang led them to the first floor of the motel and stopped before a room in the middle. She opened the door, the furniture was well prepared and set up for two.
-Here is your room. I will ask the chef to make some dishes for you. If you need anything more, you can call me at the reception table.
-Thank you! – Hou Lei said. – Could we have a basin of warm water?
-Okay, everything will be ready for you in some minutes. – Miang Xiang replied and left.
-Tian Liam, will the Queen get worried when we don’t return to the palace today? – Hou Lei closed the door and sat next to him.
-Don’t worry, I said to her where we went to. – He answered.
She arranged the rolls of fabric on a table near the window. Outside, the rain was still heavy. She turned back and saw him looking at her.
-Why do you look at me with suspicion?
-Have you met Ziam Jun before?
-Of course not, I lived in the West Land, he lived in the South-West mountain, how could I meet him? You have a doubt with me.
-No, I just see he looked at you with emotional eyes.
-That doesn’t mean he knows me. Maybe he admires my beauty, the same with your brother?
-So it means I must keep you carefully? There are many men wanting you around here.
-Don’t talk like I’m the most beautiful in this royal city. – She laughed.
-Yes, you are. – He replied. – You’re the most beautiful I’ve met.
-Please, don’t pour honey into my ears.
There was a knock on the door. Tian Liam opened and there were two servants bringing food and a basin of water for them.
-Mister and Madam, if you need anything else, please call us, we are right at the below floor. – They put the trays on the table.
-Okay, thank you! – Hou Lei said to them and closed the door as they left.
-So, what’s next? – He asked.
-Having your dinner, washing your face and going to bed! – She replied. – Or you want to do anything more at here?
-Okay, just asking. – He laughed.
They had their dinner and chatted for a little more before getting to bed. He laid on the backside of the bed, she was on the front.

-Goodnight, my cutie wife! – He whispered to her ear and kissed on her cheek.
-How dare you…
-I’m already sleeping. – He corrupted her sentence.
At the midnight, Hou Lei suddenly woke up and saw sweats coming out on Tian Liam forehead and neck. She touched his forehead, normal, not warm. She realized there was magic in the room, a very strong kind of magic. She got up and walked to the middle of the room. She raised her hands up and chanted a spell to find out who was cheating. The main source of magic came from Tian Liam’s body. She used a spell to take the magic out of him, but it was too strong and resisted her magic making her dislodged from her position. She got a faint, she tried to call him and wake him up but collapsed on the floor. Tian Liam was still laying there, not knowing what happened. He was in a dream, a magical dream, as he lost in another world.
-Hello? Anyone’s there? – He called out in a dark place.
Suddenly, there was the light of the fire and he could see. Many people gathered by torchlight. He called them but no one replied to him. He walked closer to the place and realized that he was in his palace. A group of people surrounded a pole as they wanted to tie someone on there. And from the left-hand side, another group of people leading by some soldiers forced a lady in a red dress to go with them. He was like invisible to them. He tried to focus on the lady and was surprised, that was Hou Lei. She was tied tightly and was lead to the pole.

-Kill the demon! Kill the demon! – Many people shouted out.
-Stop the sound! – A soldier shouted out from the high place of the palace wall.
Tian Liam looked at that place and saw “him”. “He” was standing with some soldiers, “his” face was very serious and looking at Hou Lei. She was now tied to the pole. She had to be beaten by the soldiers, there were many wounds on her body, and she looked exhausted. Blood came out from many places on her body, mixing with the red color of her clothes.
-Stop! Don’t hurt her more! – He yelled, but no one noticed him.
He looked at “him” again, no emotions on “his” face when witnessing that scene. He found the stair and got to the fort. He ran as fastest as he could. The man looking like him stood there and saw people yelling about killing Hou Lei. “His” eyes were sharp and “he” said to the soldiers below.
-Tie her tightly, can’t let that demon live in our palace! – “He” said.
-“Demon”? – He surprised. – How could Hou Lei be a demon?
-Should we kill her? – A soldier asked “him”.
-No, let people watch her more, to know about her identity! – “He” replied.

-You’re crazy, don’t hurt her more. – He yelled hopelessly.
-Leave her there, no one can approach her. If I know anyone gets there, you will know the result! – “He” said, the voice was not his normal voice, “his” voice was very strong and mixed with both angry, disappointment and sadness.
-Don’t go! You must let her free! – He ran after “him”.
But “he” just went to his room without any concern about him or Hou Lei. The crowd also got out of their place, leaving only Hou Lei tied on the pole. He got to her place, stood next to her.
-Hou Lei, can you hear me? I’m Tian Liam! Hou Lei…
-Tian Liam, please I don’ mean to do that! – She replied.

MY EVIL PRINCESS: Chapter 9: The doubt of Tian Liam
PART 61 – TIAN LIAM’S DREAM
After the meal with Hou Lei and Tian Liam, Tian Leong walked back to his palace.
-You don’t get angry with him? – Hou Lei asked.
-No, even though he does many bad things to me, he is still my brother. – Tian Liam replied.

-Even he wanted to kill you? – She surprised.
-I don’t blame him for doing that, for any reason he has.
-Power and level in the palace are too fearful. Even people can hurt their family member for what they want to have. How can your Main Land people be heartless like that?
-Not all the people, you know that. The fights will never stop happening in this palace, they are natural parts of every palace and every empire.
-Why don’t you join in the fights? You can be the Crown Prince instead of him.
-I just don’t want, the things I want are the peace of this country and people live in happiness.
-I think that you are too kind and nice to be a Prince, Tian Liam.
-People also say that to me, but you know, I don’t care about their words, I just want to be myself and live a simple life with my beloved.
-Why don’t you leave this palace and live the life you want?
-My mother is still here, she can’t leave the palace with me. I must be here to protect her from anyone wanting to hurt her… and now, I also have you here with me. You can’t leave the palace, too. If you live the contract between Main Land and West Land may be destroyed and the peace of your country can’t be kept anymore.
-What makes you love me?

-Well, your unique characteristics. I’ve met some Princesses and some Ladies who have a wealthy background, they are all the same, beautiful but mindless, selfish and heartless. But you are totally different, you’re very nice and kind with people, you know many things that can attract others like cooking well, playing zither…
-There are many Princesses and Ladies who know to play instrumentals, they paint well, they can make poets, some can cook well.
-But none of them dares to slap a Prince of Main Land.
-Don’t say that you had feelings to me when we first met and you got a slap from me?
-Maybe. – He laughed. – I don’t know, the heart has its own decision, my mind can’t affect it.
-Well, you’re okay now, I should go back to my room. – She stood up and prepared to go.
-Hou Lei. – He held her hand back. – Could you stay here with me today?
-Okay. – She nodded. – But don’t dare to do anything bad to me.
-I promise, oh sorry, I definitely will. You don’t believe in promises, I forgot that.
-I’ll go to make some tea.
She then came back with a teapot. They talked to each other for a while.
-Tian Liam, I think I should cook something for us for dinner.
-That’s a good idea. Let me help you!
-Can you? – She looked with suspicious eyes.
-I don’t know how to cook, but you can teach me!
They walked to the kitchen and for the first time, the chefs, the maids, and the soldiers saw a royal couple was cooking together. She taught him to cook, it seemed to be something new to him, he made the fish burned and made her soup poured out. She did not get angry with him, they just cooked together with happiness, ignored all the world around. Liu Han and the Crown Prince stood from a far place watching them in the kitchen with envy.
That night, after having dinner cooked on their own, they went to bed together. He laid next to her, his heart was racing without his demand. She was falling asleep and did not care about his looking at her every moment she moved.
Some days after, Tian Liam led Hou Lei to the store of Er Wang.
-Where are we going to?
-You will soon to know, I’m sure you will like that place.
-But it is a little bit far. – She breathed heavily.
-Should I carry you there? – He asked.
-Okay, I can go by myself, I don’t want to take people’s attraction.
They stopped in front of a fabric store.
-Do you remember Ziam Jun? – He asked.
-The man we met on the way back from the South.
-Yup, he is the owner of this store. The black fabric to make our clothes were bought here.
-So that’s why it looked special and familiar!
-Special and familiar? – He wondered.
-Oh, nothing, just get in and don’t make me disappointed.
“So that’s why the reason I felt the fabric was familiar! It was made by Er people, their technique of making textures on the fabric was very special. Why I didn’t realize it earlier? I don’t know if the pink moon ritual could affect on Er people or not, and now I’m going to meet some of them, hope they won’t recognize me as the Princess of Hou Ma tribe.”
-Hou Lei… - He shook her. – Are you okay?
-Your wife looks serious! – Er Wang said.
-Oh, I’m just thinking about something. Sorry! – She replied.
-Nice to meet you again, Mrs. Wang! – Er Wang greeted her.
-Me, too, Mr. Ziam. Your store has a lot of beautiful fabric. – She walked around the store.
-I’ve just received a shipment of new goods, you can see all of them here. – Ziam Jun showed them many rolls of fabric on a large table.
-They are good, Hou Lei, you can choose all of them! We can make many couples of clothes. – He said.
-Tian Liam, you know I don’t want us to spend much money on our clothes, we can use them to help the poor outside. – She said.
-Oh, just kidding, I know that. So choose some black ones, the color you like.
-She likes black? – Er Wang asked. – Like a friend of mine, she also likes black clothes and she is very beautiful, just like you, Hou Lei.
-Okay, I’m done, get four rolls to me! – Hou Lei ignored Er Wang’s sentence.
-Well, we should go, it may rain soon. – Tian Liam paid to Er Wang and they left.
He carried the rolls of fabric walking along with Hou Lei. She was still thinking about Er tribe. And there came a heavy rain, they got under a motel, Miang Xiang’s motel.

C8 - PART 60 – THE PLAN OF THE CROWN PRINCE_2

Please read the DISCLAIMER before reading the story.
DO NOT REPOST THIS STORY AT ANYWHERE! Thanks!
MY EVIL PRINCESS: Chapter 8: The return of Er Wang
PART 60 – THE PLAN OF THE CROWN PRINCE_2
-My Princess! My Princess! – Ah Jiang walked into Hou Lei’s room.
-What’s up? – She asked. – You look worried.
-I see… I see…
-Calm down. – She poured tea into a cup for her. – Take it, and slowly tell me.
-My Princess, I see the favorite sentry of the Crown Prince at the kitchen.
-So what? Did he bring food to the Crown Prince?
-Oh, not that, the Crown Prince was saying something with the chefs at the front door, the sentry left the kitchen by the sub door, he was strange like he was hiding something bad. He looked around before leaving, his face was serious.
-So you think he could do something bad to us?
-Yes, my Princess, the Crown Prince doesn’t like the Third Prince from your wedding, he always wants to have you by his side.
-Okay, I know, you should keep this secret, you know the Crown Prince could do what!
-I know, I’ll go first, my Princess!
-What does the Crown Prince want to do? Does he want to poison Tian Liam? – She said to herself. – Why? Because of me? How can he poison his own brother because of a lady like me? Main Land people’s heart is too cold, too dangerous and too wicked. Well, whatever he wants to do, I should warn Tian Liam about this, at least with me beside him, he can avoid the poisoned food.
She closed the door and walked to Tian Liam’s room. He was not there, she knocked on the door several times but no answer. She felt not good, he might meet some bad things. She walked around some rounds and sat down in front of his door and waited for him. 

A moment later, he came back from the store of Er Wang. She fell asleep, laid her head on the big post in front of his room. He lightly walked closer to her place and sat down next to her, he gave his hand out and gently pulled her head to his shoulder. She was still sleeping with him hugging her. A moment passed, she opened her eyes and saw he was smiling with her.
-When did you come back? – She woke up and pushed him away.
-Long enough to watch my cutie wife sleeping!
-Tian Liam, this is serious. Ah Jiang saw a sentry of Tian Leong walked out from the sub door of the kitchen with strange actions.
-So what? Did he do some bad things?
-I don’t know, but he may poison you or something like that!
-Poison me? – He laughed. – How does he dare to do that?
-I’m serious, Tian Liam, he may do something bad to you!
-I know, Hou Lei, I’m familiar with those things, the fights in this palace will never stop. At each period, there will be a reason for the fights to happen. And maybe this time, the reason is you, my beautiful wife. Why you can be beautiful and nice like that so my brother wants to poison me for having you?
-Tian Liam, it’s not a joke. I think it’s worthless to tell you that.
She stood up and prepared to go. He held her hand and pulled her back, she fell down on his body, he hugged her tightly and whispered.
-I know this day will come, Hou Lei, you are caring about my safety, I can die in happiness. Today is the happiest day I have had, you do care about me. – He shouted out loud.

-Tian Liam, should you let the whole world know that??? – She covered his mouth with her hand.
-Of course, I should! – He laughed.
-I’m sorry, My Prince, My Princess! – A maid walked to their place with a tray.
-Oh. – He got up and fixed his clothes, also her clothes.
-I’m bringing your lunch to you, my Prince! – The maid said. – I’m sorry, I don’t know my Princess is here, I’ll take another tray for you.
-Don’t need! – Hou Lei replied. – Let’s take it. You can go!
The maid said goodbye to them and left.
-Hou Lei, why you… - Tian Liam asked.
-Well, get into your room and taste our delicious meal. – She pulled him with her.
She looked around before closing the door.
-You said my brother put poison in here, why you still take the food?
-Careful with your mouth! – She answered. – A sentry of him has been here for a while, we had to received this tray.
-I know he was there. – He replied. – But we still could deny to receiving it.
-I know he aimed to kill you. But I want to see what he will do if I’m here with you and the poison.
-You want to check if he loves you or not?
-No, I don’t care about his love, I just want to know how cold heart he is! He can even hurt his brother, how can I care about someone like him?
-Hou Lei! – He held her hands. – Please don’t leave me alone, having you by my side is the best thing in my life! You made me have the desire of wanting to protect you and love you. I don’t care about the fights in the palace, but I do care much about you.
-Tian Liam, I know that, but I need time, as I said many times.
-I can wait, you have the first step to let me have more motivation to wait.
There was a knock on the door. Tian Liam opened the door, it was Tian Leong. He was there with a maid bringing a tray with some dishes.
-Hello brother, I bring some food for you! – Tiang Leong said.
-Big brother, what beautiful wind brings you here? – He asked.
-Oh, sister-in-law, you’re also here! – Tian Leong greeted her.
-Big brother, get in! – He led Tian Leong into his room.
-Do I corrupt your sweet moment? – Tian Leong asked.
-Oh no, we just chatted about something. – Hou Lei replied.
-I got some special food for you two. – Tian Leong put the tray on the table and gave the maid the previous tray. – Bring this back to the kitchen as I said.
-Thank you, big brother! Have a sit! – He said and sat down next to Hou Lei.
-Big Brother, have some tea. – She gave Tian Leong a cup of tea.
-Have you had your lunch? – Tian Leong asked as he knew nothing.
-Not yet, we prepared to eat the tray the maid just brought out. – She replied.
-I have here some special food I asked the chefs made, of course, they can’t compare with your dishes, but hope you two like them. – Tian Leong took the dishes out of the tray. – Now, let’s eat when they are still warm.
