The Princess And The Lord

Chapter 316 - Midnight Talks III

"I knew about this just recently, when we save Xue An from the human trafficker I accidentally help the daughter of my mother previous nanny, she retired when I'm only one year old so I don't know about her but she recognizes my name" Yuan Shao sighs, such a coincidence to stumble with his Mother nanny.

"When we talk, she accidentally talks about Yang Ao Shen, os a slip out of tongue I guessed then I pushed her to tell me the whole stories, turns out Yang Ao Shen fell in love with my mother and he falling hard but my mother loves my father, Yang ao Shen can't match my father appearance, reputation, and even family background so he had no choice but to step aside….reluctantly" ​​

Yuan Shao stare at the ceiling in a deep gaze, he takes another sip of tea then he continues "I also knew how Qian Qin Wei falling in love with my Father, at that time Qian Qin Wei was attacked by a gank of robber it was my father who safe her but what make me suspicious is that Yang Ao Shen was with Qian Qin Wei and from the information from the coachman who was served the Yang family, it was yang Ao Shen who choose that road, he said it's a short cut"

"You think Yang ao Shen deliberately make them meet each other" Ming Yue Yin stunned.

"Yang Ao Shen is Qian Qin Wei are childhood friends, I think he knew what type of man Qian Qin Wei likes if he gives a little push here and there, it's not possible to make QianQin Wei obsessed with my father, not to mention she only sixteen at that time," said Yuan Shao.

Such a meticulous plan, it's simple but elaborated plan and vicious too, he knew Qian Qin Wei is a selfish woman who will use her father power to get what she wants and Yang Ao Shen also know Yuan Fei cannot refuse the emperor order and when that happened Yuan Fei and Han Xue Shi would suffer, what a great plan but it's so cruel…is Yang Ao Shen realizes he pushed Han Xue Shi to her miserable death?

"That's….cruel but it hard to prove" Ming Yue yin sadly said.

"I know, this not enough to be considered as evidence this is all just circumstantial evidence nothing concrete" he also feel disappointed, Yang Ao Shen is too cunning he knew he can't be blamed with this even if people knew about this they would blame Qian Qin Wei as a selfish woman and the emperor as a tyrant, who dare to accuse the Emperor?

"Brother, is this true but Yang Wei Lan insisted to be your wife is she doesn't know about this?" Yuan Xue An frowned in disgusted, she remembers how Yang Wei Lan always overly nice to her to the point that make her uncomfortable, she also pushes Yang Xue An to gives her any information about Yuan Shao and that makes Yuan Xue An less comfortable then she already is.

"I don't think she knew…she just too stupid to be trusted with that kinda secret, Yang Ao Shen will never share his secret to anyone just face it, its humiliating for a man like him" he opens his arms widely.

"It does…" Ming Yue Yin and her subordinated nods their head at the same time. Whose said woman hell held no fury like a woman scorn, it'can be said man just all the same.

"No wonder you don't want to marry yang Wei Lan" Ming Yue Yin mumble.

Yuan Shao face turn sullen "Even if she's not Yang family daughter I will never marry someone like her" why it seems Ming Yue Yin underestimated his taste of woman "I rather marry someone stubborn, hot-headed and have strong will even though she can be quite annoying too!" he unconsciously blurted out his thought exasperatedly.

The room suddenly becomes quiet the subordinated and Yuan Xue An stare at Yuan Shao with shocking expression then they stare at Ming Yue Yin with expectation.

Ming Yue Yin looks worried then she tilted her head "You have a weird taste of woman…"

Yuan Shao faces turn dark "You think...?" he make sarcastic remarks.

This night the moon is in it perfect circle, the white cloud hovers like a mist and it's hinder the moon faint light, Lory sit on the swing under the wisteria tree, something she asked the servant to make it for her all she has to do just gives them the design and in half-day 'Voila' the swing is here!

The swing is cover with soft cushion and it big enough for two people, it seems when Hei Shen people created something they always involved their Lord somehow, Lory didn't bother by it she might not realize the swing size enlarged without her consent.

Zhao Li Xin sit beside her he pushes the swing with his leg and it sways, Lory smiles at him then he lifts her shawl on her shoulder then wrapped herself tightly, Zhao Li Xin wrapped his hand around her shoulder to keep her warmed.

"They make this swing very good isn't it," Lory said.

"Just a simple matter, I will kick them out if they can't make a simple swing like this" he doesn't feel impressed at all.

Lory can only chuckle how stern he is with his people but he always compliant with her "Don't be so hard on them" she lean her head on his shoulder.

"It's necessary when the leader becomes soft their people would start slacking and everything would fall apart" he rubs Lory shoulder lovingly.

"I can't say you wrong about that" Lory stunned Zhao Li Xin say the same thing as Zargan used to say to reminds Lucas and her.

"No you can't" he smiles while pulling her head close to him "Oh I forgot about this" he suddenly retract his hand from Lory's shoulder. Lory confusedly stares at him then Zhao Li Xin waved his hand and a necklace appears on his palm, Lory stunned by the familiar necklace.

"You found it!" she exclaimed excitedly.

"Yes, it takes a while to fix it, turn around…I'll help you" he eagerly want to help her to wear the necklace.

Lory turns around than she sifts her hair, Zhao Li Xin's heart palpitates when he sees her slender neck he takes a deep breath to calm his heart then he put on the necklace around her neck "That's it" he softly said.

Lory hold the pendant gently with delight smiles "I thought I lost it"

"I will never let that happen" he kisses the back of her head then he holds her from behind "I never seen this flower again after you awaken from your long sleep"

Lory doesn't say anything she intertwined their hands together on her chest "Such a mysterious flower….just like you" he mumbles to himself but Lory could hear him.

"Bluebell flower, the witch flower…." She pondering in deep thought "The insignia of Druid priestess…"

"Their A priestess in you're world too?" he surprised.

"They are not normal Priestess because they are not served any kind of religions, they served the seeress of Djevelskrin temple but no one ever saw Djevelskrin temple before except the Lucient heir"

"Lucient? Isn't that is your family name?"

"It is, but only the crowned King could reach the temple, not even their Archknight allowed to enter Djevelskrin territory"

"So you don't know where is the place?" he guessed randomly.

"Not at that moment but…..I found it" her body suddenly become numbs, her imagination back to that cold dark place.

"What's wrong? do you fear her? is the priestess hurt you?" he anxiously asked.

"No, they not and no I don't fear them but I do fear what lay beneath it" her body suddenly feels colder she doesn't realize her hands have turned cold and she clenched his hand tightly until her hand paled.

For some reason, his heart begin to race he suddenly have bad premonition "What is it?"

"It's Uhm…..It's the Devil Lair….it's Lazarus lair" she said in a low voice as if she scared the devil would hear her voice.

"What happened? Did you meet with 'it', why? Lory tell what happened!" Zhao Li Xin's voice raised for the first time in front of Lory, Huo Long told him once something lurking in a dark waiting for her, is that creature is the devil, is it the actual devil? Is Devil truly exist in this world?"

Lory turns around then she hugs Zhao Li Xin neck tightly, all of her body trembles strongly, she's terrified and he never saw her terrified with anything not even when she face to face with high-level Beast but know she shivers like a weak rabbit, his heart can't help shuddered, he knew something really bad happened he tighten his embrace he presses her body onto him he doesn't know why but he feel he would lose her in any moment.

"I wouldn't let anything happened to you, you hear me! Nothing would happen to you as long as I live!" he tighten his embrace like his life depends on it.

"What if…..what if you die…?" she whispers.
