47 ABANDONED THE MANSION 2 (1/2)

Compared to Henan and her guards, Lue Zhen had to keep his journey slower because it was just three days ago that Jie Lan received sword cut on her back.

After four days long journey, they reached another state of Kingdom and the next day they were in a remote village where his parents were living with a different identity.

They warmly welcomed him; Lue Zhen talked to his father about the circumstances.

”If any villager asked us who were both girls?” his mother was little concerned.

Lue Zhen looked out where both sisters were sitting under the bamboo shade and after some thought, he slightly smiled, ”Tell them that Jie Lan is the wife of your older son, Lue Zhen.” Both parents looked at their son and he looked at them and lowered his eyes.

His mother and father smiled back assuring him, he thanked them and came out.

Wei Lan got away sensing Lue Zhen wanted to talk her sister.

They walked toward another end, slightly off the eyes of others, ”I don't thrive to come, please marry someone else, I am going back to search and protect Miss Henan,” she could understand his intentions but she did not want to lose him.

”Promise me, you will be back,” he clutched his fists. ”I can't promise, I have to trade my life to save Miss Henan Zhong,” though he said softly Jie Lan could not stop her tears.

He took few steps ahead and heard, ”I'll wait for you till the end,” he stood rooted to his feet for few moments and rushed to her to catch her falling tears, two big drops of tears fell on his hands and he admonished her softly, ”These are precious, please don't shed them again,” saying this he wrapped her in his embrace and gently kissed her on her head, wiped her face with his hand and urged her to smile for him.

If he left her crying, he would be able to keep his journey suave, the woman who conquered his heart completely without wielding any weapon; instead, she chose to face the weapon which was aimed at him.

Why would not he love her? This was the highest peak of love to sacrifice precious life to secure someone.

...…..

Prince did not inform anyone and head toward the mansion but he got more panicked to see that mansion was deserted.

He cursed himself, Henan shared most of her concerns with him but he was such coward to share to the truth which revolved around her life.

He tried to recall her possible hints or intentions about her next step.

What would he do if he lost his father? He muddled in his mind with storming queries and rejoinders.

What if Martial Assassins were already sent by his father? Thunderstruck and he could not think any more then he voiced to himself, ”No, King has prepared Martial Assassins, did not send yet,” at this time he had lost his usual composure.

Thinking something, he stormed toward the direction where Henan left.

He was incomparably faster than fastest War Messenger.
