Chapter 34 - Chou

Tzuyu follows Sana into the forest because she wants to show him the loquat tree.

"anyway, why does he keep following you around?" Sana asked out of curiosity.

"he is my uncle" Tzuyu lied.

Sana then bowed, "greetings uncle, sorry my foolish brain thought you're someone else"

Tzuyu gives a code with a side glare in his eyes.

The guard bowed back, "it's okay dear, no worries"

He just stays three meters behind them, to keep on guard if any dangerous creature might attack the prince.

Sana shoots a stone by using her slingshot which made Tzuyu amused how she could hit the branches in every shot even though the fruits won't fall down, Tzuyu draws an arrow from his quiver, then aims while closing one of his eyes.

He hit the branch with an arrow, it sliced and made the whole branch fall to the ground.

Tzuyu always hit whatever he aims at, despite his young age, He was well known in the palace for being a very skilled archer.

Sana surprised at the new thing she saw, then she asks him to let her try. Tzuyu contently let her try with his bow.

He takes a stone to scratch several circles as the aim board at the tree then ask Sana to shoot there.

*missed*

Sana pouts as she couldn't hit the circle, "it's kinda similar with the slingshot, but why am I bad at it?"

uwu

"let me teach you" Tzuyu approach from her back, He holds the shaft by her hand, then he holds her other hand to pull back, "draw the bow fully to the back" Tzuyu push her shoulders down a bit, "Lower your shoulders, tuck in your arms, you can choose whether your mouth, nose, or chin as your anchor point"

Sana trying to adjust.

"If me, i use my chin as the anchor point, it's up to you," said Tzuyu.

Sana then adjust to her chin, "then i will follow your way"

"Alright, then you can close one of your eyes to aim carefully, wait patiently for the opportunity so the arrow will not shot in vain" Tzuyu help her to aim, then release his hand.

TUK!

It hits the circle, Sana amazed again by Tzuyu's skills, "wooooaaa"

Tzuyu giggles as he felt a bit proud.

Sana try again, all by herself, slowly draw and aim, patiently waits and,

TUK!

It doesn't hit the circle but at least the arrow hit the tree, Sana pouts again, "it's hard..."

Cute... Tzuyu giggles again, "Tss, well it takes a lot of time and passion, I give you my bow and quiver, you can practice by yourself, I will come to see you again next month, this date, this hour"

"Are you leaving?" Sana asks.

"yeah, I live far away" Tzuyu gesturing a code to his personal guards, 'go home' code.

"Hehehe, don't miss me" Sana teased.

"I won't" Tzuyu pursed his lips

Sana pick up some loquats and brush em with her clothes, "Here take some before you go,"

so kind, Tzuyu receives it, "thanks.."

Not long after, His personal guards bring the horses, Tzuyu get on the horse, "bye Sana, see you next month"

Sana wave at them leaving, "take care on your way, bye Tzuyu and Tzuyu's uncle!"

[on the way back]

"Prince, are you getting a new bow? Isn't that your favorite one?" He surprised at Tzuyu sudden behavior.

"Gucci, don't tell father or mother about it, okay? including the sneaking out" Tzuyu bribed his personal guard with a loquat, it is so rare, even Tzuyu only saw it for the first time, thanks to Sana.

Since then, Tzuyu comes to visit her every month, same date, same hour.

.

.

Then Tzuyu gets to know Sana's friend whose family owns the farm, his name is Yoo Jeongyeon.

[ 6 years later ]

Tzuyu bring to light about Sana to his father, the girl he has been fond of, Tzuyu thought as the only son, his father will let him do what he loves, choose what he wants.

However it didn't turn out as he expected,

King Chou didn't let him marry a merely villager, even though in Tzuyu's eyes Sana is the most beautiful and king-hearted compared to all the princesses he has met.

A few years later Tzuyu marries a princess chosen by his father, Tzuyu was left for no-choice but to marry someone he barely knows. Even worse, his father restricts him, since King Chou knows about the existence of the girl, Tzuyu only able to visit her every five or six months to avoid rumors and misunderstanding to in-laws.

Tzuyu fine with it since Sana is with someone kind, independent, trustworthy and reliable man. As long as Sana is happy, he felt happy too.
