PART 110 – THE THOUGHTS OF HOU LEI_3

-Well. – Miang Xiang paused. – I know your mother.

-And you know magic too? – Hou Lei continued.

-Actually, I’m one of the people of Hou Ma tribe. I left the tribe many years ago for finding my true love. – She laughed to herself. – But you know, true love is something hard to find. And even you found it, keeping it with you is also a hard thing to do.

-So you failed to find your true love?

-We can say that, that man betrayed me, he didn’t love me really, he loved the magic I have. And then, he received the price of the magic paying with his own life.

-That can’t be called true love. Why don’t you return to the tribe?

-I know, but I couldn’t return to the tribe, because leaving the tribe at that time was extreme guilt. Moreover, to have my lover, I had done something bad to the tribe.

-Something bad? What was that?

-This time is not suitable for talking about that thing. I surely tell you at the right time.

-You and my mother were friends?

-Yup, we were like sisters while we lived in the tribe. However, after I left the tribe, our connection was broken, and we hadn’t talked to each other for a long time.

-Were you the lady in pink I met in the Er tribe’s place?

-You’re smart, my Princess. Yes, I gave the green gem for you. And as I just said, you will know everything at the right time, not now.

-Why do you always want to keep secret for your own?

-I don’t keep it for myself, it’s just not the right time. You know, everything has its own price, I had to pay my price in the past for my faults and soon, I have to pay again for the thing I created.

-You make me very confused, the “thing you created”?

-That’s enough for today, my Princess, I don’t want to make a mess in your mind.

-Wait, wait, can you lead me to meet my mother? I only met her when she connected with me via our mind connection. Please, Miss Miang Xiang.

-I can, but not today, I will tell you the reason later. Now come and join with the guys, they are waiting for us. Just tell the three of us everything, my Princess, you know you can believe in us.

Miang Xiang led Hou Lei downstair and sat next to Tian Liang and Mr. Hu.

-My Princess, can you drink? – Mr. Hu asked.

-Just a little. – She replied.

-This wine of Miss Miang Xiang is the best of the royal city. You should try once. – Tian Liang said and poured a cup of wine for her.

-Thank you. – She received the wine.

-How was your life in the palace, my Princess, tell me! – Miang Xiang said. – And I’ll help you to tell you that to your old lady.

-Well. – Hou Lei put down the cup of wine. – Actually, I don’t know where to begin.

-Just naturally, sister-in-law. – Tian Liang said. – From the time you got here until now.

-My Princess, I know that you always hide many things behind your good life. – Mr. Hu said.

-Yup. – She replied. – Everyone knows that life in the palace is not easy, you will always need to be careful in everything you do, every word you say, everyone you meet. That life makes me feel very bored and uncomfortable.

-That’s the thing everyone knows, tell something particular. – Miang Xiang said.

-You know what, - She continued. – I must face with Liu Han and the Crown Prince every day. They always want to find a way to separate me and Tian Liam. That makes me so tired, why they don’t even know what fate has set up for the four of us.

-Liu Han always thinks that she and Tian Liam were soulmates from childhood, and they are a lovely couple in everyone’s eyes. – Tian Liang replied.

-And the Crown Prince, he also admires your beauty for a period, after he feels bored, he won’t have any excitement with you more. – Mr. Hu said.

-But it seems that Hou Lei had made an effect into Tian Leong, he was obsessed much to her. And the desire to have her by his side was getting bigger day by day and leading him to madness. – Tian Liang continued. – And Liu Han, she also got the price for her bad works.

Tian Liam was hiding behind the door of Miang Xiang’s motel. He was listening to their stories, he would not feel surprised with what Hou Lei shared with them. One thing he was thinking that, why she could easily tell them the hard things she had met. She always hid those things from him, was that he was not an enough-trust person for her? He felt upset and did not know what to do, he walked to the horse and rode it back to the palace.

-But one thing, there was one thing keeping me here. – Hou Lei said. – That was Tian Liam. He said that he truly loved me, and he would prove that to me. After more than two years living with him, I can now feel clearly his love for me. He proved what he said was true.

-And you accept his love already? – Miang Xiang asked.

-But there will be an unhappy ending for us. – She replied. – So from the beginning, I didn’t want to receive the love of him. However, his honest and kind-hearted have made me change my mind. And love was built up without knowing.

-He’s just left. – Miang Xiang said. – Right before you talked about him.

-He was here? – She wondered. – Why didn’t you tell me?

-He just wanted to listen to what you talked with us, and it seemed to be that he had left too early. – Miang Xiang replied. – And he was the reason why I couldn’t lead you to meet your mother!

-He had to feel upset for listening to what I said. – Hou Lei stood up.

-My Princess, wait for a minute, we will be back to the palace with you. – Mr. Hu said. – I want to talk something to Miang Xiang before we go.

Mr. Hu and Miang Xiang walked to the kitchen of the motel.

-Worry about him? – Tian Liang looked at Hou Lei.

-I don’t want him to be misunderstood. – She replied.

-You can explain it to him after we get back. However, I think that he won’t admit that he was here. So you shouldn’t explain anything to him, just show your love to him and he will feel it immediately. He loves you much. Some sentences can’t break true love easily.

-Thank you, brother-in-law!

-We’re done. – Mr. Hu came back.

-Goodbye, My Prince, my Princess, hope to see you later. – Miang Xiang said as they got back into the horse wagon and left.

When Hou Lei returned to her room, she saw Tian Liam curled up on the long couch near the window. She slowly walked to his place and sat down on the floor to hug his back.
