The beautiful bride was sitting on the bed waiting for her husband to arrive. Not actually waiting for her hubby to come and devour her but to take a look at the so called perfect son of the Emperor who was able to assassinate a large number of generals and masters of her country.
It was also in the news she got that it was the Second Prince Jing Yang who was the one to lead the army to the Imperial Palace of her family.
She wanted to see that man's face whether she had become that man's wife for it but in her heart she would only hate that man from the core of her heart because he was the one who who killed her brothers.
Then a slight noise was heard, it was not too loud but it was enough to be heard by the princess Ling . She noticed that it was not the sound of the door being opened but someone had come in the room.
She stayed still as to make that person think that he had not been discorved by her if he was here to assassinate her.
Then the man moved forward and threw his dagger to directly pierce into her heart but before it could reach her she moved.
*swoosh*
The dagger hit the wall behind and stuck into it. While moving her red veil had fallen as it was not sticking to her head or hooked to keep it in stable position.
But too bad the woman's face still could not be seen by removing this red phoenix bride veil as her face was covered by a white silky cloth.
The man saw a woman with the phoenix head gear, red dress, shoes and a silky veil with a tall, thin and curvy figure. Her figure could make anyone salivate. Even, he could not help but wanted to touch those curves and feel them.
He was shocked by his own thoughts.
The woman who had just moved, took the opportunity to remove her veil which stopped her clear view of the man.
( A/N : Smart woman)
She saw a man dressed in groom's red clothes, with a hard chest and an overly handsome face.
( A/N : It is her who is calling him overly handsome not me, how can I call my male lead with such a word?)
She had to agree that the man in front of her was indeed perfect in case of of his looks.
"I don't know that the princess is actually more well versed in martial arts than her brothers. " He said and folded his arms on her chest while sitting on the chair in the room.
" It is not I who is well versed but it is you who have used less power in throwing this dagger?" She commented and sat on the chair in front of him and folded her legs.
" Hehe ..... Is it ?" He laughed.
" I don't expect the high and mighty perfect prince to come via window. " She commented.
"Hum, I don't follow rules or schedules, you know. So it is my choice to go in and out at any time and from any place."He replied.
" Oh ... I thought you would say that it is your mansion so you can come and go from anywhere you want to and anytime. "
" How can I, when there are new words being used these days by the people around me? How can I be old fashioned. These are new talks, you see. "
" Oh... so why are you here ?" She asked curiously.
" As if, you don't know. Your 'additional dowry' made you to enter in here, so I thought why not see this 'special dowry' tradition from your coutry."
" Hum, the dowry that I have been talking about is myself." She said lieseruly .
" You are not a dowry but a prisoner, here."
" Oh... I am feeling hungry, I am not going to ask you, so help yourself. " She said and picked a fruit from the fruit basket on the table besides them. She took a knife and started to cut it.
" Aren't you my wife? Isn't it your duty to feed me ? Does your Yan women don't teach wives any rules abd how to care of their husbands?"
He commented and picked a fruit for himself and started to eat.
" You, yourself said that it is wife who shall take care of husband but it is just a an expression of love. There is no love between us, so why will there be an expression to depict it and being a kind hearted person I have asked you to eat if you feel hungry, others will not even say this, won't they? "
" How savage.... and I am at a big loss." He said while eating.
" How ?" She stared at him.
" You are having quite a good look of my handsome face and here I am who is not able to see yours. We are not even in this matter, as a result I am at loss. Let me ask you, why do you wear this veil under your red bride's veil ?"
" Hum, its my own habit to wear. " She resumes her attention in cutting the fruit.
" Oh .. but I have heard that you have been forced to wear the veil by your previous Grand Preceptor."
She cut her fingers accidently after hearing his words.
" Be careful.", he commented.
She placed the fruit and the knife on the table and took a piece of it. "You have quite good connections. In my country , it is known that I wear a veil but no one ever have thought that if I have been 'forced' to wear it. I am quite impressed."
" Haha ..Its a pity that Yanfou having the Forbidden City for all these year was not able to make such connections but Binhai did and Yanfou lost to Binhai. " He mocked her.
" An insider does the maximum damage." Even if we had the Forbidden City, we did not have the trust of our own people which made us loose to you. She wanted to add ahead but stopped herself.
