42 Causing Havoc in the Palace (1/2)

”She has already left, Milord”

Lou Ren's statement made Xiao flinch. It's not that he really intended to pretend sleeping. Circumstances made him that way.

He just let a small cough, then continue what he was doing in the paper works while Lou Ren was intently having the leisure of watching him.

”If you have time slacking off, you should help me addressing these topics.”

”I believe milady has the solution to that. A while ago, I saw something on her mind. You should ask for help”

As being part of the royal family he shoulders some of common problems of his people. A lot of problems are arising up to this point that somehow he was beginning to lose his own rest hour. Bai Shin Lin has been a sheltered princess since they were young so how would she know the resolutions to this country's problem.

” I understand you disposition, Milord. However, haven't you realize lately the massive change in her lady's self. I thought it thoroughly and even I can't compare herself to a princess who grew up on the four walls of the castle”

Xiao was lost in deep thinking.

The Bai Shin Lin she knew was delicate and caring like a flower. When they were young, he remember that she's always the first to come to him whenever he was feeling low. Her parent fills the gap which his parents, His majesty couldn't do.

But lately, ever since the incident of the memory changing curse and her drowning unto the river, sets the start of her eccentricity. That's the time when also he become almost a jerk to her. Within that shortspan she totally became a different person. Like somebody was living inside her.

Meanwhile....

Bai Shin Lin was threading the corridor, when all of a sudden she lost her way.

Damn! Why does the whole palace looks like a city? She was murmuring while going in and fro. She ended up on the fountain by the garden.

Mesmerized by the beautiful night she take a seat over the fountain. While picking a few wrappers of chocolate candy on her pocket, she devour the whole thing in one go.

She was fully occupied at that moment when a hand took some of her chocolates. When she turn around she saw a rugged looking man dressed in a servant.

However, that presence was not strong enough to get her attention but still lovingly gazes over the wide horizon. The rugged looking man became more indulge with what he is eating that he comfortably sit beside her.

” Do you like it?” Unintentionally she spoke to him.

”Hmm” he only nodded

” Unfortunately I have been banned to eat this and it's the last piece of I can have. Tsk. What's wrong with eating these...not giving me any snacks , he's really a cheap stake.” she blurted out to a stranger whom she's not acquainted. When she realized what she had done it was all to late. However, the man sitting beside him doesn't bothered at all.

When her last wrapper of candy was consumed, she immediately stood up and walk towards her way.

However, on her ways she felt like that someone is following her. And without a doubt it was the rugged looking man whom she shared her chocolates.

She intentionally stop on her accord and face the man.

” Why are you following me?”

He didn't answer.

She started to pace but the man started to moved following her.

She dash her ways trying to escape him and found a small abandoned room to hide herself. She locked the door inside just to make sure he can't enter in.

[And what's with his problem anyway? Why is he following her?]

With that taught going on on her mind, she heard a loud bang on the door and what da--

the man just barge in , he split the door open with his bare hands then proceed to approach her.

Shit! Things is so chaotic now that she didn't know what to do... What if this man will gonna kill her right in this instant! Just when everything is smoothly going on.

”Why! Why! Why I didn't do anything mister?! Why do want to kill me?”

She was pleading while his hand is reaching to her.

My goodness! He's gonna choke her!
