The Princess And The Lord

"You want to be Hei Shen Member?" Lory tilted her head.

"Yup, my power could support Hei Shen Sect and no one dares to snatch me from Hei Shen isn't it" Shin Jiu raised his hand excitedly while still holding half pastry on his hand. ​​

"Well, that's true" Lory agree with him, it does a good plan "So what would you say to Zhao Li Xin?"

he makes sheepish smiles "I hope you can talk about it with him" he fiddle with his fingers shyly.

Lory straighten her back and cross her arms on the chest "No, Can't do"

"What? why master, he would agree if you the one who proposed about it" Shin Jiu pout his lips.

"And that's the reason" Lory raised her eyebrows "Do you want everyone in Hei Shen sect thought you used me to take advantages of Zhao Li Xin, they would think you are a weak boy who hides behind my back and when you grew up that reputation would follow you everywhere no matter what you do, do you want that?"

Shin Jiu look down "No..." he muttered What should I do then...?" she said timidly.

Lory sigh "Let see...." she tapped her chin with her finger "You must tell Zhao Li Xin what is your strength and what benefit you can bring for the Sect, tell him you don't mind work hard and long hours to help him achieve what he needs, don't forget to tell him about your ability and skill too...."

'Why is that sound like someone Curriculum Vitae?'

Shin Jiu already takes out a brush, ink, and paper and he writes everything Lory said seriously "Is that all master, should I told him I just had a breakthrough" he lift his head with a question in his eyes.

Lory feel something is weird but she pushes that thought behind her back then she nods her head firmly "Sure, why not..." she shrugged her shoulder casually.

Shin Jiu then write again on his paper, after he finishes he blow the wet ink on the paper carefully "Master I will prepare myself, let me talk to Lord Zhao when I'm ready" he becomes more confidence then he rolled the paper "Master I will prepare myself, let's talk again later" he climbs down from the stool and left in hurry, Lory didn't even have a chance to say goodbye.

Lory watches her disciple left in haste, she can't stop thinking there's something wrong with her advice but she didn't know what, she sigh and shrugged her shoulder again and continue to drink her sweet tea "Oh well..." she muttered.

Not long after Zhao Li Xin comes "Lory, I bump with your disciple, why did he say 'I will come for you' has he challenged me?" he was not sure what is that boy means.

"......" Lory mouth twitch "Don't worry about that" she didn't know how to explain that.

Zhao Li Xin slightly nods his head then he takes a seat beside her "What is that woman want from you? you should let me handle her" he sips lory's tea but it's too sweet so he winces a little bit and put down the teacup.

"It's a girls fight, you don't need to interfere" Lory pour more tea on her cup "How many times I told you I'm not that weak" she chuckles lightly.

"I know, it is just hard not to worry, you know how I am," he said again.

Lory leans her head on his shoulder "I know, not as I hate it..." then she shifts her head and props her chin on his shoulder and she looks up to him "Why everyone wants you to marry their relative?"

Zhao Li Xin frown "Is that why that woman come?" his face suddenly becomes somber.

"Don't blame her, I think it's the emperor order, how could she said no although.... that does not mean she didn't fond of you" Lory turn around and prop her chin on the table "Is so hard to have a handsome boyfriend..." she sigh pretend to feel hurt.

Zhao Li Xin feeling guilty "How about I wear my mask again from here on," he said with a serious face, he takes off his mask because he doesn't need to hide his identity again and also because Lory fond with his face so he wanted to show off but if his face give trouble to her he doesn't mind to hide it again.

Lory stifled a giggled "I'm kidding, you are so serious, It is not your fault to be handsome it's your parent's fault" she said jokingly.

Her playful smiles make his heart beating faster, he pulls her head closer then he kisses the top of her head softly and rests his chin on her head "Is my power that they seek not me, if I only have a pretty face without power none of them would want me, al that women maybe want me at first but when they saw opportunity to rise they eventually would be discarded me, greed always overthrows beauty" he smiles in cynical.

"That will never happen with me silly!" Lory pushes him gently "If you become weak I will protect you and if you become ugly so what soon or later I'll be old and wrinkles too and.....do I ever told you about my family secret?" Lory pulls him closer and whisper.

Zhao Li Xin can contain his happiness he is over the moon when he hard what Lory said "No, what is it?" he leaned closer leaving only an inch between their face.

Lory froze for a moment when his flawless face too close to her, she blinks her eyes to calmed her heartbeat "It's a.....in my family, I don't know since when or why but we can only fell in love one time in the lifetime, we can't even have offspring without the one we love that's why our family line is thin....very thin, so don't worry I won't desert you, I can't even I want"

It's not exaggerated to describes Zhao Li Xin smiles is now shines so bright it can overshadow the moon and the sun, Lory who used to saw him smiles was stunned by his radiant smiles is like the sun is shined directly to her face only now Lory could believe there is a face who could 'Ruined the country'.

"Is that true..." Zhao Li Xin's heart leaped to the highest sky, he has never been this content in his life the hole inside his heart is closed without a trace and the world seems brighter than before.

Lory mesmerized by his beauty, she nods his head slowly while her eyes are widely open. Zhao Li Xin cupped her face then he kissed her deeply, this is the first Zhao Li Xin kiss her like this as if she's melt with him, she forgot how to breath and everything becomes blurry.
