Liu Wei moved forward to get Qianru, but with only a glance from Mo Qin Yi there was ten people who stepped in to stop him.
The other guards who came with Qianru drew their sword as well while all the female servants cowered in the corner, kept themselves away from the scene.
"No need for the commotion." Mo Qin Yi said in leisure manner, he was still grabbing Qianru's hand while talking. "Qianru and I, along with your Prince are childhood friends. Thus, this gesture means nothing. Right?"
Qianru looked at Liu Wei and the rest of the guards who followed her and weighed pros and cons of the situation.
Today was their first day to be in the Rockstone Kingdom and it wouldn't do any good for them to provoke Mo Qin Yi.
They were in unfavorable situation.
"Let go of my hand." Qianru hissed and narrowed her eyes, she made it very clear for Mo Qin Yi that she wouldn't mind to start a fight if he didn't listen to her.
"Alright." Mo Qin Yi released her hand and stepped aside to give Qianru a way to get out from the pavilion.
However, when she walked passed him, he spoke in low voice.
"Qianru… it is hard right to live with him?" Mo Qin Yi asked in sympathetic tone. "If you are with me, you will not live a life as a target of the hatred from Azura's Emperor to his cousin."
Qianru knew Mo Qin Yi had something for her, but it had been five years since the last time they met with each other and within the five years, everything was changing.
Both of them had married, not to mention Qianru had made it clear that she didn't have the same feeling for him.
"I chose to be with him and if my decision makes me become a target…" Qianru looked at him with her bright eyes that shimmering under the ray of the sunlight. "…So, be it." The determination laced in her voice.
"You will be a crown princess now." Mo Qin Yi gritted his teeth, no one ever dare to defy him. Qianru indeed came from a noble family, but she was a royal blood. She couldn't be compared with his wife, who was a princess from Zodasian Kingdom.
However, the more Qianru rejected him, the more curious he became. The news about her stay in the Kingdom of Rockstone lit up his old desire.
"Be your crown princess?" Qianru asked in mocking tone. "No, thank you. Xiao Jun is enough for me."
"YOU!" Mo Qin Yi growled.
He felt humiliated by her words, how could, the dethrone Crown Prince like Xiao Jun, compared to him?
Mo Qin Yi was about to shake Qianru body out of anger, but when he was about to raise his hands he felt something hit them hard enough until he let out a painful groaned.
"Who threw stones to me!!?" He snarled angrily while cradled his hands.
"It will be blades thrown at you if you touch her again."
