The Military Couple

3: Marriage Night

Lianari: ask the emperor to take it back !!!

Jin : it's not so bad.

Lianari; really?

The servants were all hiding in one corner and looking at him like fangirls.

Lianari: you attract all the attention wherever you go. General.

Jin ; I don't want you to die.

Lianari: I should rest at home and do nothing. Taking any grip or relations I have with the military. You think he wants me dead ?

Jin: we don't know what he thinks. It's better to be careful.

Lianari; fell in love since young. Did you see how big my eyes were ?

Jin ; I know. You were staring right back at me.

Lianari sighed " it's really ok. I can handle myself. "

" Really?" He took out his sword and swings at her neck . She moved backwards and brandished her short one and clanked against hers. She vomitted blood.

Jin : you can't even protect yourself. You can't fight while the poison hasn't cleared.

Lianari: I'll... Somehow be ok

Jin : it's just a marriage. You'll be fine.

Lianari: what if I already have a lover ?

Jin ; you do ... ?

Lianari: no ....

Jin ; then it's fine isn't it ?

Lianari: hey. Hey . Hey !!

________________________________

Sighs. So now I was waiting in the room for him to come in. With this red hood over my head.

It's a royal decree. So I couldn't say no. And he was so insistent on protecting me by marrying me.

The door opens. He comes in.

Lianari: that's fast.

Jin ; I don't drink that much .

Lianari: this thing is annoying. Hurry up and take it off me.

He sits down beside me and takes it off " there you go. "

Lianari: great. Now I can fall asleep. Oh wait one more things.

Jin : hm ?

Lianari: I know I'm not the person you really want to marry. There may be someone you really want to marry in future. Your soul mate. Or the one you really love. So... If you find her...

Jin : talking like we're going to be divorced soon. After so many years , you're still straightforward.

Lianari: so you don't have to feel stuck with me.

Jin : you never thought we could continue what we had then ?

Lianari : eh... ?

Flashback ~

We were 23 then. We were in love and were both important personnel in the army. We were both colonels.

He said he was going to ask for my father's blessing. But my father recommended him for a new post. As Major General at another army. Father thought he had potential and he should try there.

Jin : lianari. Will you come with me ?

Lianari: .... I can't. I love you. But I can't. My family is here. I won't ask you to stay cos of me. It's not fair. So...

Jin : so you're letting me go ?

Lianari: .... I'm sorry.  I'll forver remember you. But you should go. That place is good for you.

End ~

Lianari: you don't... Hate me ?

Jin laughed a little " we just separated ways. Why would I hate you ?"

Lianari: I don't know. Maybe just lost your love for me. That's possible

" we wanted different things. That's ok. We were only 23 then. We are older now and can do more things now ~~" he said seductively and closed in.

Lianari: what are you...

He said by her ear " you do know the emperor will check whether if we consumate right ? Check if we faked the marriage. "

Lianari: lie ...

Jin ; why do you think that cloth is for.

Lianari: .... Do we have to...

Jin ; you mean you didn't prepare yourself for this ? You are my wife now.

" But !! " She pushed him away lightly and looked to his eyes a bit pleading.

" I forget you can do this face too. " He kissed her lips. She for some didn't reject and kissed back...
