The king of the Stone Kingdom sat in the cold and dark main hall, his scrawny body curled up into a ball He looked like a ghost who could not bear to leave its favorite haunt It was only once he spoke that others were sure he was alive
“Ah, the Priht-hand man It’s been a while You are the Prime Minister, aren’t you? I can’t recall clearly”
Zhong Heng was unaffected by the jibe, he even wore a look of a on the throne was just an unskilled laborer He then gave a cursory bow, inforon King wishes to conduct his wedding with the princess ten days from now Please, make preparations, Your Majesty”
“Preparations? What’s there to prepare? What can I contribute? The royal seal is already in your hands Why don’t I send the chair I’ift?”
“There’s no need for that,” replied Zhong Heng earnestly “The Dragon King doesn’t need anything froift This wedding is extredom and we hope Your Majesty will treat it seriously”
“I will,” replied the king Though he knew that the words did not represent true authority, he could not help hiuys draw your weapons,” he added
Zhong Heng re but unexpectedly did not deny it He then turned around and left the hall
The king shrank evenas if he hadalso went to infor
He had never been soft-hearted, but upon seeing the princess, as obviously anxious and worried, put on a brave front, a small part of him could not bear to be too harsh to her “Please rest assured, Princess After the wedding, Your Highness will still reside in the palace, just as before”
The princess truly wished for things to be the saain She kneever, where she was stood and what the right words to be saying at this moment were “Thank you, for your concern, Pri will be up to the Dragon King I won’t be choosy,” she said
Zhong Heng did not expect her to possess so e He found a new level of respect for the princess Bowing deeply, he slowly retreated
Xu Yanaiting outside for hi to wed the princess Xu Yanas probably the only person truly happy about the wedding She tended to feel strongly responsible for her ex-custocha, Shangguan Ru and the princess of the Stone Kingdom
The princess was naturally illed Froe, she was controlled by various forces, as such, she was in dire need of a strong protector to take care of her To Xu Yanwei, the best candidate for that role was the Dragon King
Under Xu Yanwei’s gradual influence, the princess’s ireatly At the very least, she already understood that those far-fetched ruht of her future husband as that fearful and murderously cannibalistic monster That said, their first encounter had h the princess could only re, they were securely iotten For a few days after that incident, she suffered froht She would ask Xu Yanould hurry over to console her everyti planned to murder her
Xu Yanore that he would not, but to little effect As such, she deduced that there was only one way to get rid of the fear in her mind, and that was for both of them to be wed post haste After they had spent a few blissful nights together, they would naturally beco the other party would diminish
It was a conclusion borne from her own personal experiences
She only worried about one thing
She was not interested in how good the Dragon King’s kung fu was, or how many soldiers he commanded, nor who the eneh, that she was clearer on than anyone else
“There’s no need to wait for ten days If it’s up to ht too How co ceremony be? There just has to be some music, then they have to end up in the bridal suite Why do we have to wait so long?”
Zhong Heng would normally avoid Xu Yanwei, but he was the Pri to create a future for hi to rekindle an old roled with an old flame, but since he was questioned, he could only try to tackle the problem head on
“Er, ten days is already fairly rushed The princess has her status to worry about and the wedding cannot be overly casual”
“Did you not getwide, as if Zhong Heng had co?” asked Zhong Heng, secretly puzzled about what could bring the cold-blooded Dragon King to trust such a woh, and wanted to thank Xu Yanwei for her re what she had said later
Xu Yanwei bit her lip and hesitated, saying softly, “Never ever tell anyone that I leaked this piece of infor yet”
