"Father and mother did you miss me?"
Hu walked towards them with a big smile. he greeted his brother and sisters. Then he walked to Huli
"brother what do you think of my gift? The faster she is here the better right?"
Huli looked at him coldly.
"I should have known you were behind this. You love this,right? Fortunately, all the preparations are as good as done. If I did not take you in account, I would not be your big brother "
Hu made a sip face
" you're not happy? Believe me when you see her you will be happy! Such a arranged marriage is not bad"
he winked and stood next to his brother and sisters.
Huli shook his head and looked far ahead. He heard the cheering and singing become louder. In the distance he saw a woman walking in the middle.
people were walking around her,while they threw different kinds of flowers on her path. They cheered and clapped. The closer she came the better he could see her.
her dress was perfect, she had wide hips and a thin waist. Her height was small, but her chest was not. She had curly hair as red as fire and eyes like rubies. She had a warmth in her eyes and a warm smile on her face. She was beautiful.
Huli swallowed, his brother was right in terms of appearance such a arranged marriage was certainly not bad!
When they were almost at the palace, Kaida saw three people standing at the gate behind them four other persons. When she came closer she recognized Okuri, then the woman next to him must be his wife and the man next to them the crown prince.
He was beautifully dressed. He was tall and had broad shoulders. He was built athletically and you could see he had a well-trained body. His hair was as white as snow and he had blue eyes as clear as the sky. He looked straight ahead and had a cold look in his eyes. Despite his facial expressions he looked beautiful.
Rei saw that Kaida was looking at him. She tapped her gently in her side
"well well your future husband does not look bad! I'm so curious about your wedding night! "
Kaida rolled her eyes and walked towards the gate
Kaida walked towards Okuri and made a bow
"your king, it has been a long time. The years have done you well. It is an honor to see you again "
Okuri held her by her shoulders and helped her up.
"Do forget the formalities, we know each other longer than today. And after all, we are almost family. Come and let me introduce you to my wife and children "
Kaida walked with him. When he introduced his wife, she did not bother to talk to Kaida. She only nodded with a cold look in her eyes and then looked away. Okuri pointed to the four persons who stood behind them.
"That is Hua, Hui, Huan and Hu."
Kaida was a little surprised when she saw Hu standing there. She knew for certain that he was not just anyone, but she did not expect him to be her future brother-in-law. She laughed
"an honor to meet you all, I have had the opportunity to meet your son Hu before."
Okuri looked at Hu and squeezed his eyes
"I should have known you were behind this! But fortunately we took your games into account"
he turned to Huli and put a hand on his shoulder
" and this here is my eldest son and your future husband Huli "
Kaida looked up at him. There was no emotion in his facial expressions. He looked straight ahead and had a cold look in his eyes. He looked beautiful even with such a look on his face. He had almond-shaped eyes and his lips were just right. Not too thin and not too thick.
"It is an honor to meet you, I am the crown princess of the dragons tribe my name is Kaida"
Huli looked at her. He liked her even better from up close. Her hair had a nice red glow in the sun and she had a sparkle in her round eyes. Her lips were thick and looked soft. He nodded to her
"Crown Princess"
Okuri grabbed Kaida's right hand and placed it in Huli's left hand. He laughed at them.
"I suggest you go to the betrothal chamber then you can talk in private. Tonight we will celebrate your engagement. Most officials of the tribes have already arrived. The wedding will take place in two days "
Okuri walked to the crowd and addressed them in a loud voice.
"My dear people, I thank you all for your presence. I am pleased to see how many people share in our joy. I propose to you, your future king and queen "
Huli and Kaida walked hand in hand towards the crowd. The women threw flowers, the children scattered with flowerpetals and the men beat drums. When Huli and Kaida turned around to walk into the palace, the crowd began to cheer and sing.
"May the gods bless your marriage and we wish you prosperity and happiness in your marriage"
......
Kaida was on her knees sitting opposite from Huli in the betrothal chamber. The room was luxuriously decorated and decorated with different flowers. On the table between them there was a teapot and a bowl with different kinds of cookies.
Kaida shuffled back and forth. What an uncomfortable atmosphere. Since they were in the betrothal chamber, Huli stared at her without turning his gaze away and saying anything. She took a sip of her tea. Do they not have wine or something stronger?
"Are you going to say something or are you going to keep staring? Or do you like it so much what you are seeing that you are speechless? "
Huli raised his eyebrow. She's pretty cheecky!
"I do like the looks of the outside, but I am doubting the inside"
Kaida glanced at him
"how do you know what is on the inside? We have been here for fifteen minutes and no word has come out of your mouth. I think it's great that you already know it based on that. You do not only have a beautiful face I see"
Huli laughed in his self, she managed to entertain him
"I will get straight to the point, I am only marry you because my father wishes. The first year I will do my best to fulfill my duties as your husband. Then I wish to be left alone to fulfill my task as king regardless of whether you give birth to a healthy heir to the throne or not "
Kaida looked at him. He is funny
"you are right the looks are really beautiful to see, but the inside is indeed very doubtful. Do not worry these conditions are acceptable to me. The only thing I want is that I am not limited in my actions. "
Huli nodded
"okay now to the important things. The party have been organized but do you have any requirements that need to be met? And in terms of entertainment at the party what is usual for the dragons tribe. To show that we are in good terms, it seemed a good idea to have a combination of both tribes."
She was glad she did not had to organize anything, it had never been her strongest side. And what does he mean by entertainment? It obvious that a drinking game is being played and the dragon fight is being held, right?
"What kind of entertainment did you have in mind?
"It is customary to play word games on such an occasion. Such as guessing riddles or composing poems based of a word "
Kaida almost choked in her drinking
"you are not serious, what kind of nonsense is that? Where are the drinking games? where is a good fight? I am not familiar with this type of entertainment. I will only embarrass myself "
Huli looked at Kaida and sighed. Is this why my mother calls them barbarians?
"Then I suggest that we play word games at the party tonight, as there will be fewer officials there than at the wedding itself. And do not worry, what you do not know, I will know. "
Kaida laid down on her side and rested her head on her hand. I'm starting to get cramped from sitting on my knees and my head starts to hurt when I think of word games
"What about the drinking games and the fight?"
She had taken off her cloak and by the way she lay, Huli could clearly see her voluptuous figure in her dress. He cleared his throat
"It goes without saying that there will be a lot of drinking at the wedding, so it seems appropriate to play drinking games there. A week after our wedding is our annual fox festival. In honor of our marriage we will hold A fight tournament, is that acceptable to you? "
Why is he so up tight? He articulates everything so formally
"that's fine. How long before the engagement party starts? I am still tired of the trip and I would like to take a rest."
She really is to laidback! Huli looked at Kaida and sighed. Is this why my mother calls them barbarians? "Then I suggest that we play word games at the party tonight, as there will be fewer officials there than at the wedding itself. And do not worry, what you do not know, I will know. "
Kaida layed down on her side and rested her head on her hand. I'm starting to get cramped from sitting on my knees and my head starts to hurt when I think of word games "What about the drinking games and the fight?"
She had taken off her cloak and by the way she lay, Huli could clearly see her voluptuous figure in her dress.

Why is he so up tight? He articulates everything so formally "that's fine. How long does it take before the engagement party starts? I am still tired of the trip and I would like to take a rest."
She really is to laidback!
"It will take a few hours, since you have arrived earlier. I will wake you up when it is time"
"Yes, thank you"
Kaida laid down and closed her eyes. Before she knew it she had fallen asleep. Huli stood up and covered her with a bedspread. He looked at her as she slept. She is not boring at all, I wonder what kind of queen she is going to be.
