MY EVIL PRINCESS: Chapter 7: The trip to the countryside

PART 56 – THE TRIP TO THE COUNTRYSIDE_6

-Hou Lei, give it back! – Tian Liam ran after her.

-No way, it’s mine now. – She looked back and said.

-I’ll catch you!

-Catch me if you can! – She laughed and continued to run.

They chased each other to a large green field, the wind blew and made the kite fly up. She stopped near a big tree in the middle of the field. He reached there and hugged her.

-Catch you! – He whispered to her ear.

She did not reply to him, just looked at the kite in the sky. It seemed to be free to fly with the wind, but not, it was connected to the rope and controlled by her now. The same to the lives of many people, looking like they had freedom, however, in actual, they were trapped in their own dreams, ambitions and the one they wanted to be.

-What are you thinking about? – He asked.

-The kite looks like freely to fly, but not, right? – She wondered.

-Yeah, but it doesn’t have enough power to break up the rope and fly away, maybe it will be lost and trapped on a bough.

-But it may have freedom when the rope is cut.

-And it won’t be the kite anymore, it doesn’t do its duty to fly around for people to watch, if it is trapped on a tree, no one will care about it, the rain will make it damaged and soon, it will disappear in everyone’s mind.

-So breaking the rule and living a carefree life is not good?

-I don’t know, but I assure you, each person appears in this world for a reason. Maybe good, maybe bad, they already have their duties needing to be finished in their lives. Such as you can’t avoid marrying a Prince of the Main Land, my father doesn’t want to have more wives if he feels having my mother is enough for him.

-So why? Why your father had to destroy Hou Ma tribe?

-It was a mistake, my father still feels regret until now. He couldn’t forgive himself for doing that. He said with me, that was the worst decision he had made.

-But Hou Ma tribe couldn’t be revived with his regret, the people couldn’t forget about what happened to a tribe not want to have relations with the outside world.

-Hou Lei, why you mention about Hou Ma tribe? And your voice is very upset.

-I… - She paused. – I just think that if your father didn’t destroy Hou Ma tribe, I mightn’t be here right now with you, and I might continue to live a carefree life of a Princess.

-I’m sorry, I don’t think that marrying me makes you suffer a lot like that. Your freedom was taken away from you, you can’t live with your family in your country.

-Tian Liam, it’s not your false. – She touched his face. – Maybe as you said, it’s the destiny of me.

-But we can still change our destiny if we have enough power. If you want, I can ask my father to let you be free, you can turn back to your country and I promise that I will prevent anyone from having an idea of destroying West Land.

-Tian Liam, thanks for your sympathy, but you know, I’m here because I should be here, with you, right here, not because of my parents, not because of the peace of West Land, even not because your father wants that, the reason is I want to.

-Thank you for saying that to me! It lets me know that I might have appeared in a small corner of your heart. – His eyes were sparkle.

He hugged her and she let out of her hand, the kite flew away to a far place on the sky.

-Wait, why you let out the kite? – He yelled.

-Why not? – She wondered. – We can buy another kite if you want!

-It’s not a problem! You remember the old woman you helped two days ago, the kite was made by her and her grandchildren for us.

-Hah??? – She yelled. – Why you didn’t tell me early?

They looked up to the sky and the kite was nowhere to find.

-Look like it doesn’t belong to us.

-You should tell me earlier.

-You didn’t give me a chance, I called you to give it back.

-Okay, it’s my fault! Do you feel satisfied?

-Hou Lei! – He held her hands. – Believe me, can you?

-Believe you for what? – She replied.

-Believe that I do care about you, you’re not lonely in the Palace, you have me there with you.

-Okay, okay, you’re there with me, every day, you’ve said this sentence many times. Let’s go back and prepare to return to the Palace.

She walked back to the bureaucrat’s building, he shook his head and had no idea with this lady, just some minutes before, she had hugged him and now, she talked like they were not husband and wife. He could guess what was in her mind now.

From that moment to the whole night, Hou Lei did not say anything with Tian Liam. She laid next to him on the bed but she turned her face to the wall and kept silence. He looked at her back many times, he thought about their conversation about Hou Ma tribe, she had to care much about the destruction of the tribe. She was very sad when talking about that event like she was one of the people of Hou Ma tribe. She was more mysterious to him now, making him want to explore her. However, he could not ask her directly, he also could not ask some soldiers to investigate her in the West Land, if she knew he did that, she would not forgive him.

The next day, they got on a horse wagon to come back to the Palace. People of the South province lined up on the sides of the road and acclaimed for their Prince and Princess. Hou Lei and Tian Liam sat on the wagon, opened the fabric window and waved with them. As they left, Ho Ding was left for managing the business of the bureaucrat. People believed much in the choice of the Prince and hoped their lives would be better with the new guy.

On the way back, when they reached the road near the main entrance to the palace, there were some men riding horses passed across their way.

-Do you know how to ride horses? – The Soldier General asked.

-Sorry, I have a rush in the delivery of these goods! – One man in the group answered.

-This voice is familiar! – Tian Liam said and opened the window of the wagon. – Ziam Jun, is that you?

-Xiao Liam, so it’s you! – The man replied.

“Ziam Jun, is he Er Wang? No, why he appears in this time? He might destroy my plan, I’ve not found out the Hou Dark gem yet.”, Hou Lei thought.

-Hou Lei, I want to introduce you to someone! – Tian Liam said to her.

The man got down of the horse. Tian Liam also led Hou Lei out of the wagon.
