Vol 4 Chapter 11 (1/2)

Volume 4 Chapter 11: Don’t tell me this is the second attack on Xu state (3)

It was very cold now in the beginning of winter and every living being seemed to await the appearance of sun in the early morning. Soon, the sun began revealing its smile as it rose over the mountains and lit up the world.

It was very noisy outside the city but the civilians in the city were still in their dreams. With such silence, even the smallest sounds coming from outside the city could send my heart thumping. And with my ears, I could clearly hear the imminent arrival of Meng De’s troops.

But under such precarious circ.u.mstances, I was sitting with my little sisters in the meeting room. Apart from Yi De who was trying to start a conversation, no one was thinking about the battle ahead.

Of course, we have worn our clothes by now.

“…”

“…”

“Umm, can you 2 don’t remain silent.” Yi De pleaded after trying all morning to get us to talk, before curling up and saying with red cheeks, “W, we did it already so what else is there to think about at this point.”

“Wu!!” Yun Chang’s face turned scarlet instantly and she stood up immediately. As she did so, her eyes met mine and she got a shock and squatted on the wooden chair, “Wh, what do you mean we did it already! Isn’t that a little too casual!”

“Th, that’s right. And we haven’t confirmed if I actually did anything right?” I was sleeping on the ground then and I don’t have any memories of doing anything…

“Big brother, that’s so unmanly of you,” Yi De said as she hid her face in her hands, and through the cracks between her fingers, I could sense an undescribable fury, “When we woke up, we were in your room and n, n, naked… How can you still say such things, big brother?”

Geh… This is bad.

I turned and looked at Yun Chang and saw that she covered her face with one hand while she twirled her messy hair with the other and looked lost.

How did it become like this? Did I really lose control after getting drunk?

I shook my head at this but it only worsened my headache.

“I don’t care…”

Un?

Just then, Yun Chang, whose head was hung low, spoke in a calm voice.

“I don’t care! Big brother should take responsibility right?!” Yun Chang raised her head and looked at me. Her eyes were filled with tears, unlike how stern she usually was, and looked completely like a shy and cute girl of her age.

Eh?!!

I sat there stupefied as I heard what Yun Chang said with a reddened face.

“Yun Chang, calm down first…”

“Un, big sister is right,” Yi De seemed to have regained her energy and somersaulted onto the table, “Big brother should take responsibility!”

…

Liu Bei, how would you have handled this situation?

(TL: They did sleep together in the original, but obviously nothing like this happened.)

“…” I lowered my head and sank into silence. I know I can’t just wave this away. As a feudal lord and as a man, I know what I have to do. When I realised this, I couldn’t help but clench my teeth and put my hands on the table as I said, “Alright.”

“Eh?” “Big brother?”

They were surprised at my sudden words and questioning looks appeared.

“What I mean is–” I said resolutely as I placed my hand on my chest, “I will take responsibility and marry the 2 of you.”
