The empress of war (Lu Xun x Reader x Guo Jia)

Chapter 3: Memories

(y/n) was still running, trying to get away from that place and from that general. She was confused and her hands are still shaking. Finally, she managed to get out of the forest and ended up crashing with Lu Xun and falling over him.

—(y/n)? Your face looks pale. What happened? — He asked trying to get up and help her. He was about to scold her about joining the war but decided to silent those words and wait to hear what she have to say.

—I... I don't know too. I was about to kill a Wei general when my body suddenly stopped after seeing his face... my hands trembled and I dropped my sword and escaped from that place— she stared at her still shaking hands trying to calm herself. She wasn't scared by that officer but her body was shaking by only remember him— Why only him? During my way, I already killed so many soldiers so... why did I hesitated when I was about to kill him?— (y/n) keeps blaming herself and started to cry; that only worried Lu Xun even more.

—And who was that officer? — Lu Xun asked trying to find a way to help her. She stops crying to lift her face and see him.

—He was blonde with golden eyes...—

—Guo Jia...— Lu Xun muttered after hearing those features. He isn't so dangerous like the other officers in Wei but if he managed to stop her from killing him, it was a proof to Sun Quan words—anyway, lets return home...— he said taking her hand and lead her to the horse he prepared and mount it with her in front of him.

During the way to Wu, (y/n) gets a bit sleepy so he recharged her head on Lu Xun's chest to sleep more comfortably; Lu Xun's face blushed at the cute face she was making. He placed a hand around her waist to prevent her to fall as he hastened the horse a little to return earlier to Wu and let her sleep in a comfort bed.

~Time skip~

When (y/n) opened her eyes, she found herself sleeping over Lu Xun's bed. It was already morning and there wasn't any sign of the owner of the room. Where was he? Or more important, why is she sleeping here? She stands and sits over the bed trying to remember what happened after the war. They were on the way home and she feels sleepy so she decided to rest a bit.

'So in the end I fall asleep in Lu Xun's chest, eh?' (y/n) commented 'that's why he isn't here? So he still hate me for that...'She gets up from the bed and walked to the door when it suddenly open revealing Lu Xun with a tray with food in his hands; it surprised her, so she only stayed there a bit confused.

—So you finally awake, (y/n)...— he commented as he enters in the room and take her to the bed again— but you shouldn't get out of the bed— he placed the tray over the nightstand close to his bed to help the girl return to bed and cover her with the sheets. Once this was done, he take the tray again an place it over her legs— here... you must be hungry...— (y/n) stomach growled after hearing the word 'food' making him laugh. She started to eat while the brunette looked at her.

Why is he suddenly being so nice with her? Didn't he hate her after making that dangerous situation? After finished her meal and give the tray to Lu Xun again, she tried to find how to ask him about his suddenly change but she cannot leave aside her fear of asking something she shouldn't ask to him.

—You're afraid right now, isn't it? Are you still thinking that I'm angry with you, right? — He asked. (y/n) only nodded at his words. Lu Xun stands up from the chair to sit over the bed; he was really close, so close that she can feel his breath in her face— I'm sorry for that— he apologized— more than being angry at you, I was worried about your safety. Battles are always unpredictable and ever if you are a great warrior, you cannot avoid being hurt or being ambushed and killed— he places a hand over her cheek and stared at her beautiful eyes—I'm in love with you and that will not going to change, that's why I didn't let you join the battlefield... I don't want to lose some important to me again...— he moved his face more close to kiss her.
