Della stood in front of Cheng, her hands trembling with fear. But when she felt the man's shivering body against her back, she felt compelled to protect him.
It was a rare moment of happiness for her amidst her difficult circumstances, and it was enough to make her want to save him, despite the risks.
"He is my friend. He came to see me," Della replied, hoping to shield the man from Cheng's potentially lethal actions.
Its for enough or her to saw two death bodies she didn't intended to saw other one .
"Since when did you become friends with the 5th Prince?" Xianbao asked with a smile on his face.
"Fifth prince?" Della asked, her face displaying confusion.
"You said you are his friend but you didn't know he's the Fifth Prince of the realm, Ming Fang?" Xian Bao questioned.
Della looked behind her and saw the man still shivering. Her pity for him transformed into irritation.
"Of course I am the Fifth Prince, Ming Fang. And how could I be friends with a mere maid?" Ming Fang replied arrogantly.
"This idiot! Is he trying to make himself a hero who's afraid of a grasshopper?" Della thought, managing to control her anger. Because of him, she was once again in a mess.
"I apologize, Master. I didn't know he was the Fifth Prince. How could I have known he would be the Fifth Prince, who is afraid of a grasshopper? I misunderstood him as my friend," Della apologized, giving a sly smile to Ming Fang.
Xianbao smile silently over there exchanges.
" how could you disrespect the 5th prince of the kindom " ming fang complain despite shivered in fear and hide from the behind the della.
"You made fun of me, now it's my turn," Della replied in hush voice and positioning herself aside between Cheng and Ming Fang.
Ming Fang kept his head down. He didn't dare to lift it in front of Cheng out of fear.
Della was about to leave Cheng and Ming Fang alone to enter the palace when she suddenly felt someone holding her wrist. Turning back, she saw Ming Fang gripping her hand tightly. His touch was cold, and he seemed unwilling to let her go, as if afraid to be left alone with Cheng.
In Della's eyes, Ming Feng looked like a scared, wet cat, evoking pity in her heart.
"What are you doing?" Cheng demanded, noticing Ming Feng's action of holding Della's wrist.
"I... it's just that she..." Ming Feng stammered, clearly flustered.
"Master is here to see the 3rd prince " the man behind Ming Fang interjected smoothly.
Unlike Ming Fang, his companion possessed a more mature and composed personality. Ming Fang, being the 5th prince, was known for his childishness and arrogance. He often acted impulsively, easily became bored, and constantly sought new forms of entertainment. To the other princes, he seemed more like a child than a threat and preferred not to involve himself in palace politics.
"You are here to meet me, so why do you need my maid there?" Cheng asked, his gaze fixed on Della and Ming Feng holding hands. Upon noticing Cheng's scrutiny, Ming Feng reluctantly released Della's wrist.
"Yes! I... um... I have to go... cheng " Ming Fang mumbled hastily, then dashed back to his palace at lightning speed.
Della's laughter slipped out as she watched Ming Fang dart away, unaware that she had drawn attention. When she shifted her gaze from him back to her surroundings, she saw Xianbao and Cheng looking at her in surprise.
"It's my first time seeing you smile," Xianbao remarked, leaving Della somewhat shocked.
"Thank you," Della replied politely.
"But your laugh is rather unrefined, . Young women shouldn't laugh like that. What kind of upbringing did you receive? Has no one taught you etiquette?" Xianbao mocked, irritating Della.
"How dare you say that to me? Is that how a gentleman behaves, insulting a young woman?" Della retorted, her irritation growing, momentarily forgetting the presence of others.
"And how can you call yourself a woman with that feminism?" Xianbao teased further, provoking Della.
"You! How could you say that to me? Stop right there!" Della exclaimed, chasing after Xianbao.
..........mean while later..........
"She's more like Ming Fang," Xianbao told Cheng, catching his breath after teasing Della. "She gets easily riled up by words, so immature." Cheng s busy to reading his scriptures
"It seems you had quite some fun with her." Cheng asked
---
"It's just that she's kind of an interesting person," Xianbao replied hesitantly.
"What's so interesting about her?" Cheng pressed on this topic.
"It's just that she seems more relaxed now compared to a few days ago when she was desperately trying to run away from the palace. I've caught her many times at the Fourth Prince's palace or sometimes climbing the walls," Xianbao informed Cheng about Della's whereabouts after witnessing the gruesome scene of the cold-blooded murders.
"And she hasn't come out of her chamber in front of you as she usually does; she must be very afraid of you," Xianbao commented on Della's behavior to Cheng, giving him a sidelong glance.
"It's not very concerning to me what a maid thinks of me," Cheng replied coldly.
"But she seems quite free and relaxed with the Fifth Prince. She even teases him," Xianbao further commented, watching Cheng closely for his reaction.
Cheng set aside his scriptures on the table and looked directly at Xianbao. "What about the attackers?" he asked, trying to change the topic. Xianbao understood it was not good to delve further into this topic, and he had already gotten the reaction he wanted from Cheng anyway.
.......few days later............
Della lazily lay on the grass, her eyes closed, nearly asleep. It was a rare moment of freedom for her. Most of her time was occupied with palace chaos; being the only maid here meant she rarely had the chance to be herself and rest. The condition of Languaon Palace required more than enough time to keep it clean.
Della thought her situation could be similar to the palace's if she hadn't escaped when she did.
Della felt someone block the sunlight from her. When she opened her eyes, she saw someone standing over her. When she sat up, she saw that it was Ming Fang.
