Chapter 23 - Finally picked a bedmate (2/2)

”Fifth prince, you must be tired from traveling.” Kwon Yoori smiles stiffly at her archenemy. Go! Sleep! Just leave this place and never return! You damned prince!
”Not tired.” Wu Yixing gulps down the wine. His new drinking friend giggles. There are only four people lasting.
”You are really a prince.” Kwon Kyuri blabbers drunkenly. ”I have never seen a prince. Can I get your autograph?”
”This prince likes you. How about you leave General Yu and come to me?” Wu Yixing leans toward Kyuri and grabs her hand. ”Your hand is softer than General Yu's hand.”
”Prince, you are out of my league.” Kyuri hiccups. ”You are so handsome and manly. You are also kind and cunning. How do you have a perfectly balanced mixture of all desirable traits? Am I already dead? Perhaps, this is a heaven in disguise?”
Kwon Yoori looks at two drunkards. Will they remember it if she punches them both? She glances at Li Jun who hasn't taken a single sip of the wine. His eyes are stuck on Kwon Kyuri. Yoori doesn't feel good about this.
”Kyuri, you are cute. This prince likes you a lot.” Wu Yixing looks into her eyes. ”Say, do you want to be my concubine?”
”Nope!” Kyuri jerks off his hand. ”My man must be only married to me. I refuse... I am absolutely against polygamy. There is only one man for one woman and one woman for one man. Prince, don't you get tired of so many women around you? You should only marry the woman you love. Love is beautiful. It makes the world better.”
”This prince isn't married yet.” Wu Yixing sulks. ”My first fiance died of sickness. My second fiance drowned. My third fiance was ȧssassinated. My fourth fiance -”
Kyuri covers his mouth. ”I get it. You are unlucky.”
”Don't call this prince unlucky.” Wu Yixing kisses the back of her hand. ”How about you become this prince's wife? Nobody will take your position until you die.”
”Um... Wait!” She is about to chase after them, but the prince grabs her wrist. She looks down and finds his eyes clear. No sign of earlier drunkenness. She can't hide her anger. ”You were pretending!”
The prince grins at her. ”General Yu, we are finally alone. Let's talk.”
”But... Kyuri... ” She tries to free her hand from the prince's grip.
”She is safe with Li Jun.” The prince pulls her down. ”My friend, how have you been here?”
