The Royal WEDDING

Chapter 4

Xiao Zhan's P.O.V

For the past two months, I have been learning and practicing hard. I learned many things about this Kingdom. Basically, there are 30 states which are under one king, King Wang Qiren.
Those 30 states were handled by 30 different clans or Royal family. They are the part of Gusu Royal Court.
Only Royal families can perform some magic. And to able to do so they need to cultivate their core. The strong the core is the strong their place. I heard that The crown prince has the strongest Golden Core.
I can chant some basic spells and draw a few  talismans. I have been practicing swords and archery and I can say at least I learned the basics.
They had a huge library but one section is locked and Father explained to me that it is forbidden to read as it contains black magic which is harmful to one's body and soul.
Father gifted me a sword I named it, Suibian and Yanli shijie gifted me a flute.

During the first week, it was awkward for me to accept them as my family. But they treated me and Xing well. They adored him so much especially Cheng Gege and Shijie. Xing is learning some basic education at home. After that he will be able to join the Royal school. Mother is a little strict but it is bearable. They are good peoples but Shijie is best. She even cooked my favorite food sometimes. I can talk anything to her, she will listen to me patiently.

With Xue Yang, I didn't spend much time. He often falls ill. And Cheng gege's fiance Wen Qing Jie is treatment. I don't know what happened to him. he is funny and mischievous. I hope he recovers soon as all the family members are worried about him.

I spend most of my time with Cheng Gege. He is responsible and understanding. Sometimes grumpy too... but he looks cute with that annoying face.
Okay if he heard this he will definitely chase me with dogs.
I hate dogs and somehow he learned about this fear of mine. Actually, Xing told him.

Once a week, they took us to visit different places of Yunmeng. And I must say the place is beautiful.
I lived in City and I hate the concrete forest. But here they are more connected to nature.
They don't use mobile phones because they can be harmful.
Royals use magical letters to communicate or normal people can use post services. And if it is urgent they can purchase some talisman for instant communication.
They use Solar Cars or Horse carriage. In Yunmeng we use Boats as it's the city of rivers.
One thing I noticed that they don't have anything that can harm nature. They are using old techniques in a modern way.
There are no factories.
Each state assigns a team which is responsible to purchase goods which can not be created here (as solar cars, bicycle, cameras, etc ) from the outside world. They sell them to sellers, from normal people who can purchase things.
Apart from Royal families, One can travel to outside only after getting special permission.

And My favorite place is a large lotus pond near our house.
I & Xing are happy here. I know there is more to come in the future but after living with them, one thing is sure, My Xing will live a better life.
And about myself, as they say, if destiny leads me here than god must be watching me, I know I'll survive.

Now I am going down as their designer is here for measurements. I need some designer clothes as my father said I need to look perfect.
Well, it is Oracle who will choose the future Queen but still, I need to look perfect there.

Father told to me come to his study after so now I am heading there.
I knocked twice
" Come in" he called me inside.
" Zhan come, sit here. " He offered me to sit in front of him. He was looking serious.

" I know you are nervous about tomorrow's event. But you need to just be yourself. " He took a pause and again started saying " I know you have any questions regarding your arrival and participation. And I'll tell you everything" He took a deep breath and looked nervously into my eyes.

" Father, only if you are comfortable?? No need to stress yourself" I want to know everything but don't want to hurt them.

" When you arrived here I never thought that you could be this genuine and pure Zhan. Now you became our family not only with words but by hearts.
Now I don't want to hide anything from my Son....... It starts 6 months ago, you know How naughty is Xue Yang?? You know that some kind of magic is forbidden. "
I nodded in yes.
" Because of his curiosity, Xue Yang stole one book silently while I was inside there for some work, I hadn't noticed him. Later at night, he practiced one spell but It backfired him as he didn't read the caution part. No one golden core can perform black magic without sealing their core. He was spelling a chant to improve his golden core is damaged and Only dragon blood can save him. His health is deteriorating. And only King Family has access to Dragon Blood.
So to save my child I grab a chance to look for Crown Prince's soulmate. "

I was shocked to death... Finally got to know the reason.
"But how do you know that I am his soulmate"

" My wife has a special gift, she can watch anyone's future but in return, she has to pay something precious to her and if anything went wrong it could harm her. But stubbornly She performed the ritual and offered her purple zidian. In return, we got to know your name and Place where you lived.
Cheng went there and observed everything about you. And finally, we decided to take a chance.
Nobody knows about my wife's ability so please don't reveal it to anyone.
I am sorry, we hide such an important thing from you. But for child sake, any father can go through this. Hope you forgive us. "
He said and looked down.

" Please father, I can understand. And if this is my destiny than I would have come here anyway. You were just a medium. Don't blame yourself. " I stand up and walked to him, Sat on my knees, and hold his hand.
" You gave us a new family. I am grateful to you. And if I got married to Prince I'll get that dragon blood anyhow to save my brother. Be assured. "
I promised him. If Cheng gege didn't save me that day, they could have harmed Xing and me. I owed them. And as he said mother can see the future then I hope What she saw come true.
Tomorrow I'll meet Crown Prince for the first time?? My future husband???
