The Princess And The Lord

Chapter 313 - The Things We Do For Love

Lory is in the garden she takes off her shoes and soaked her feet inside the cool pond, the Koi fish swim around her legs and gives her tingle a little bit, the flower petal floating on the pond than Girsha flew in the sky and sometimes he dived to the pond surface and makes a ripples that scarred the fish, the day almost over and the sky turn to oranges as a sign for the sun to rest.

Suddenly someone embraces her from behind "You don't feel cold?" a manly voice whisper on her ears make all her body feel electrify, The smelled of agar woods and pines tickles her nose. ​​

"You finally home" Lory turn her head towards him.

"Missed me?" he asked with flirtatious smiles.

"A little bit…" she pursed her lips.

Zhao Li Xin chuckles, he sits behind her while still hugging her waist "It almost winter the water should be cold, don't soak your feet too long" he worriedly said.

"Its fine, its good for me to channel with my 'Mana'" Lory lean her head to his hard chest while closing her eyes she could feel the subtle current in the water, how the fish move affected the waves inside the pond.

"Mana?" Zhao Li Xin question it.

"Its 'Qi' for you, an energy that moves through your veins running to your dantian the energy that make you able to control every cell in your body with your brain, well….through a lot of practice of course" Lory chuckles.

She raised her hand than she opened her palm, suddenly the water rippling then raise the water circling on the air then turn into a sphere inside the sphere the Koi fish trapped, the fish swim in circle confusedly, the sphere float then move slowly toward her hand then it stops above her palms.

Lory's eyes turn to purple than the sphere gradually froze, Zhao Li Xin could hear the sounds of ice make cracking sound around the sphere surface but the Koi is unharmed and still swim around inside the sphere just like a living snowball.

The sphere slowly land on Lory's palm "I'm born with this power, we call it 'Gift' in you're world it might something similar with cultivation but 'Gift' we were called the 'Gifted' but we are minority in society, only twenty percent people in my Kingdom become the Gifted it's even lower outside my Kingdom" Lory sigh.

Lory straighten her back she put the snowball back on the pond when the snowball touch the water surface the ball suddenly melted and the fish release from the sphere and swim away "I'm born with two gifts, the gift to control water and the gift for healing, later on, I met Girsha and he give me the Gift to control the wind"

"That's how you healed me" Zhao Li Xin muttered.

"Yes.."Lory turn around, she sits face to face with Zhao Li Xin, she tilted her head "Are you afraid of me?"

Zhao Li Xin frowned "NEVER!" he pulls her closer then he holds her waist tighter "I don't care who you are or what you are as long it's you I will always love you, after all this time, do you still doubt my feeling?" he feel wronged, he wonder if he's not done enough so she still not trust him completely.

Lory suddenly becomes flustered, he's right, she has no reason to doubt him "Of course not, I'm just….worry…if you knew everything you will hate me…..you will leave me…."

He cupped her cheeks and he pressed his lips on her, Lory swallow her words in surprised while he nimble her lips while pressing her chest on him, he reluctantly stop when he feel she have trouble breathing, Lory stare at his dark eyes in dazed her lips has swollen red after the intense kissed which only aroused him even more but he needs to calm himself.

He gently caresses her cheek "I will never hate nor I would ever leave you, wherever you go I'll follow you could never get rid of me, in this world or the next we will always together if you go to hell than their shall I go….you understand, you believe me"

Tears fall on her cheeks like broken dam, she can't make a word so she nods her head profusely, Zhao Li Xin wiped her tea with his long finger "You are my Gift, you are the God reward for every pain that I've been through" he kissed her forehead lightly and pull her in his embraces "My sweet princess…." he muttered with smiles.

Unbeknown by them faraway behind the cherry blossom tree a woman watching the lovely scened with smiles on her face, the wind blows her silver hair gently her grey eyes sparkle light star at the night sky.

[Peeping Tom….]

The woman chuckles, she lifts her head on the tree branch a bird glare at her she covers her mouth pretend to embarrass [Oh dear, you caught me!]

[What are you doing sneaking around like this, Arthea] Girsha chides her.

[Me!] she holds her check as if she was wronged accused but Girsha ignores her lousy acting, Arthea stifle than she leans her head on the tree trunk with tired expression [Don't be mad, I just watched the lovely scened….you know how much I like love story]

Girsha turns her gaze towards the couple who laugh in each other embrace it does a lovely scene, the Girsha shifts her gaze back to the woman below him [This….is this you're doing?]

Arthea smiles while her gaze fixed on the couple in front of her [No…not all of it at least, no one can't control human feeling, not even a God 'free will' they said] she heaved then ironically smile [Their's feeling is their own, it's they're owned will…..]

Girsha sigh in relief but then another question pops up in his head [Why are you here Arthea?] he always wonders about this, should she stay at Verrion to guide the next king of Harland.

[Why am I here?] she muttered to herself with saddened Expression [I…I make a mistake, one simple, innocent mistake] she closed her eyes and the aching torment her heart again, its been so long why her pain not eased, they said time will heal every pained why don't it healed her, that day if she make a different decision will everything be better, if only….

[I can't do this on my own, I need her help….] she stares at Lory in remorse.

Girsha suddenly engulfs with apprehension he stares at Arthea anxiously [What have you done Seeress?]

With saddened expression, she stares back at him then she helplessly smiles [I…..I Fell in love….]
