After a full day's walk, the Royal Army stopped by the Han River. They set up their tents and decided to rest and sleep for the night in order to continue their trip back to the great kingdom the next morning.
Yunlan twisted and turned his sword expertly. It whistled lowly as he inserted it back to its scabbard. Before he offered his hands to help his future bride come down of the horse back.
There was dead silence after the crown princess yelled "take your hands off of me"
Everyone's jaw dropped as they stared at the awkward couple in the middle of the sight. The anger hadn't faded away yet from Yunlan's face while being rejected like that.
Shen Wei came down on his own while struggling with the countless layers of his dress. He was cursing at the thought of dressing up like a woman, with so many layers of fabric covering his body, he wouldn't move properly.
"Are you really a princess!?" Yunlan gazed at him curiously.
Finally coming to his senses, Shen Wei immediately played back the words of prince Yunlan in his head. He looked at his sharp eyes, his smooth movements, and even his graceful features were perfect, yet he was a monster.
Shen Wei glanced at the man in good spirits. "My Lord! Do you have a doubt?" Daring him was not a solution. Yunlan approached with a light and graceful step and extended his hand to lift the veil from his princess.
"Don't!" Zhao Xin Ci clasped his hand around Yunlan's shoulder. The man was surprised. In fact, he wouldn't have touched her if she didn't challenge him. She looked beautiful. Her thin delicate features appeared to him slightly under the veil.
"It is not the way we treat a princess crown prince Yunlan!" Zhao Xin Ci kindly reminded him. Knowing already that he was a man who dealt with swords only, and never was in a relationship before.
Yunlan didn't realize his behavior was wrong until he heard Xin Ci slowly lecture him, he then apologized " My apologizes" Shen Wei smiled while glancing at him.
"Prince Yunlan !" Called one of a the soldiers.
"Your tent is ready" It was the biggest among the other tents, prestigious and comfortable, fit for the prince of the throne.
"Follow me!" Prince Yunlan tug on his voice to send his princess a little bit of fear. Taking few steps alone, Yunlan turned to see her standing still in her spot. He raised his borrow in confusion, unable to read her thoughts.
The man in disguise seemed very upset with the harsh treatment he was receiving "What kind of prince are you? Are you gonna starve your people when you become a king?" looking around him, Shen Wei picked a small stone.
Hitting the ground close to Yunlan made most of the army laugh out loud. This situation was certainly not going as planned. Yunlan felt scorned and couldn't understand why this princess was behaving in such a manner. What was worse was that she doing all this in front of his subordinates.
"I am hungry!" Shen Wei breathed slowly feeling a slight of embarrassment. Yunlan was in a dilemma right now. On the one hand, he didn't want to speak more, he immediately and in front of his army lift the man in his arms and dragged him inside the tent.
"Bring us dinner!" He ordered with a loud robust voice full of authority.
"Put me down, you piece of......"
"What did you just call me?"
"Piece of.... Cake!" Shen Wei finished his sentence a bit hesitant while smiling.
"Did they not teach you proper manners?" For his entire life, never did Yunlan meet such a wild princess that her personality perfectly resembled his.
