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.
