Chapter 353 - Entering the Kokyo (1/2)

Xiao Bing entered the dining room, and the servant immediately went to inform Princess Nami. A short while later, Princess Nami skipped down the stairs happily.

Xiao Bing smiled and said, “Your Royal Highness.”

“Good morning.”

The two had already made a deal that Xiao Bing would call her Nami if there were only the two of them, but if someone else was there, he would call her Princess or Your Royal Highness.

However, from Princess Nami’s attitude, only the blind wouldn’t see that the relationship between them was more than just a working one.

After entering the dining room, Princess Nami looked at Xiao Bing with affection as she ate breakfast. After the confession yesterday, Princess Nami became more proactive toward Xiao Bing, and she was so enthusiastic that Xiao Bing felt he couldn’t stand it anymore.

Xiao Bing ate faster. Then he put down his chopsticks, looked at Princess Nami, and asked, “Are you going to the Imperial Palace today?”

“Yes. After dinner. I haven’t seen my grandfather in a long time. I’ll take you to see the Emperor first, and then we will visit my grandfather at night. He is the best martial arts master in our country, and maybe he can teach you some skills.”

Xiao Bing pretended to be respectful, “It’ll be an honor.”

Princess Nami beamed and said, “If he knows… knows us…” she giggled, “he will be nicer to you and may accept you as the last disciple.”

Xiao Bing knew what Nami wanted to say. If her grandfather knew she liked him, he would probably accept him as a disciple, but Xiao Bing was not very interested. He thought he’d better keep a distance from the old man in case he raised any suspicion. If that happened, even if he managed to return to Huaxia, the task would probably fizzle out.

“Aoki, last night… what happened between you and her?”

Xiao Bing said calmly, “We are done.”

Princess Nami’s eyes brightened, and she asked in surprise, “Really?”

“Yes.” Xiao Bing nodded.

Princess Nami was ecstatic. Even though they didn’t break up, she was confident that with her looks and status, she would become Xiao Bing’s wife sooner or later. As for the other women, including his former girlfriends, they would be nothing but mistresses at most. But it was better that they parted ways. After all, no woman would like her man to have more than one woman.

Princess Nami smiled happily. “Aoki, in fact, I don’t think that woman is worthy of you at all. It is better that you broke up with her. It is a wise choice.”

Xiao Bing didn’t say anything. Actually, he had a good impression of the woman who was very affectionate and beautiful. But now he needed Princess Nami to help him with the task, so there was no point in offending her at this time.

Princess Nami laughed. “Well, don’t be upset. We’ll be going soon.”

“I’m not upset. Actually, I wanted to break up with her long ago. Oh, do you need Fukuda Ogawa to follow us to the Imperial Palace?”

Originally, Fukuda Ogawa was also one of Princess Nami’s personal warriors, but because of Xiao Bing, Princess Nami barely went out with him, since she didn’t want anyone to disturb her and Xiao Bing. Princess Nami was about to refuse when Xiao Bing whispered, “I suggest that Your Royal Highness take Fukuda. After all, he is your personal warrior, and if you have one more master beside you, it will be safer. If you only have me by your side every day, I will have one more enemy.”

Princess Nami wanted to say that he was just a subordinate and there was nothing to be afraid of. But thinking of Xiao Bing hating class discrimination, and how she finally reconciled with him, she didn’t want to displease him.

Princess Nami reluctantly said, “Well then, take him with us.”

Xiao Bing smiled. “Then Your Royal Highness, please have someone inform him.”

“Well.” Princess Nami turned her head and spoke to the maid behind her, “Go tell Fukuda to come to the door of my villa immediately. I need him to go out with me.”

“Yes, Your Royal Highness.”

Xiao Bing stood up, looked at Princess Nami, and smiled, “Let’s go out and wait.”

“Oh.” Princess Nami was reluctant but didn’t refuse.

Xiao Bing and Princess Nami stood at the entrance of the hall. Xiao Bing stood slightly behind her and looked respectful. He didn’t want anyone to gossip about them. Princess Nami didn’t want him to do this, but because Xiao Bing insisted, she had no choice. Soon after, Fukuda Ogawa came.
