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.
To be continued...
