心爱 (Beloved) - Volume 𝐈 - 𝑆𝑒𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑡

Chapter 4

"Your awake? Please." The servant that Mimi told to watch after ZhangLi said with her left hand at her stomach, head down, and with the right hand pointing at the door.
"Yes. Thank you.." AhLi said, starting to get out of the bed. From the light, he could tell that it was evening. When starting to get out of the bedroom, he stopped at the door with the right hand at the right side. "How long have I been asleep?" He asked. "You were asleep for about four hours.","Where is His Majesty?","His Majesty right now is in his office,
(?)¹" (tf office 5k years ago*soud of a choked cat*xd)

"Mnn." AhLi mumbled. He noticed he was in The King's bedroom, but he didn't complain or anything like that. He just got out of there without any sounds, the woman also getting out and going the opposite way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When the poor gold-haired boy arrived at The King's office, (I'm still dying x0) he bowed dow while saying, "Your Majesty[?]¹", making Mimi turn around. Seeing it was him, he saied with a calm voice:" Is there something wrong? Did somehing happen?" Actually, ZhangLi was expecting a "What?" Or "Get out". But instead, it was a lovable answer that he never expected that such an arrogant and evil tyrant would say to anyone. Maybe it was because he was in a good mood or something?

There was a silence that lasted for five seconds before ZhangLi said, "I wanted to apologize to His Majesty for all the trouble I made. I hope His Majesty will forgrive this lowly servant (guard:))". Mimi's eyes widened, wanting to take both of his hands, and push him to the wall with his hands up, yelling at him to not call himself a lowly servant again.

But instead, he was clenching his fist almost blood coming out of his palm. AhLi, seeing his action, his heart started beating faster from fear that the king will do something if he stays a little longer there, while sweat was running down his forehead, "Please excuse me Your Majesty, I'm gonna take my leave." He said still bowing down from when he entered.

Mimi snaped and quicly looked at him saying:"Don't go-" as AhLi was about exit the room. He turned his head around. "-I have a lot of work and I can't do it all alone. May give me some help?" Mimi continued. AhLi sighted at the suden reaction, and smiled, while turning around fully and going to Mimi's table. "You could've just order me soo. You're the King after all." Mimi just smiled and gave him half of the papyruses.

"Take the seat over there and come here.","Alright!".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As they both were doing the paper work, (Lol I can't xd) Mimi couldn't help but sometimes raise his head a little bit, and watch ZhangLi. His attentive face was soo attractive, no wonder other people wouldn't fall for him.

And this is why.. 𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒃𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒖𝒍...

AhLi finished his papers before Mimi, 'couse ofcourse Mimi was staring at him sometimes. Or.. often. "Alright, Your Majesty. I finished mine. Now if you excuse me, I'm gonna go train now." AhLi said while putting the chair back at it's place, bow down, and go.

Mimi was used at having AhLi there, and sometime raise his head and look at him. But now that he was gone, he forgot he wasn't there, and when he raised his head, he felt kinda embarrassed and wished he didn't forget that all the time.

"*𝐷𝑎𝑚𝑛 𝑖𝑡!*"
____________________________________

Every time ZhangLi would go train, he could feel people staring at him and sometimes saw faces staring at him, and all of them with pity. Most of the time there would be guards coming at him and asking if he was ok or not, if he needed water or food, if he needed to rest or a towel. It felt like before Kaba left, he told everybody here to take care of him.

And he was right

"𝐿𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑛 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦𝑜𝑛𝑒. 𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑐𝑟𝑢𝑒𝑙 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑑 𝑏𝑙𝑜𝑑𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑦𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑡, 𝑏𝑎𝑛𝑖𝑠ℎ𝑒𝑑 𝑚𝑒 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑀𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑗𝑖𝑎 𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦. 𝑆𝑜 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑜𝑛, 𝑝𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑒. 𝐼 𝑡𝑜𝑜𝑘 𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑦 𝑏𝑟𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟, 𝑍ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝐿𝑖, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑛𝑜𝑤, 𝐼'𝑚 𝑏𝑒𝑔𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑔 '𝑦𝑜𝑢' 𝑡𝑜 𝑡𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑜𝑓 ℎ𝑖𝑚, 𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑎𝑑 𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑒."

"Today was soo tiring-" ZhangLi thought to himself. "-I wish Kaba was also here". He continued, this time kinda loud, loud enought for the tyrant to hear from outside.

When he was about to go to sleep, a *knok, knok* was heard from the door.

"Yes?"

ZhangLi said, his "Yes" mentioning them to come in. The perosn staied outside, door half-open and just poped inside his head. It was none other than Mimi. "-_-'.. Come inside, what are you waiting for?" AhLi said, making Mimi come inside.

While thy were talking and laughing, Mimi couldn't help but feel more crazy for him! That smile of his, that laught, that character, the beautiful and light skin of his made him fall in love with him...

"AhLi..","?" Will you.. will you never, ever betray me?" At first ZhangLi didn't know what to say. But then he decided to say the truth (not that truth). "I would never.-" He said while smiling. "-I'll be with you forever." He continued making Mimi's eyes widen.

Forever?
