The Princess And The Lord

Morning comes and Lory wake up inside Zhao Li Xin embraces, his collar creased because she clench on it through all the night Zhao Li Xin holds her trembles body he doesn't ask anything anymore even though he feel curious, worry and very anxious about it but his heart aching when he saw her terrified, the last thing he wanted is to hurt her, so he held his tongue and he wait until she told him herself, but it seems the matter to search that elusive red lightning sword become urgent matter.

"How is you're sleep?" he tugs the strain of hair behind her ear.

​​

She rubbed her eyes than she smiles "Its good, thanks to you"

"Nevermind, I always happy to share a bed with you" he pulls her closer to his chest as if they are not close enough.

Lory inhaled the manly scented exudes from him "Me too, let's do this every day" she holds his waist.

"I thought we already did" Zhao Li Xin chuckles in joy.

"You right" Lory giggles.

The two of them hold each other for another hour, the morning a little bit chilly but the bed is very warmed, they comfort each other with only the sound of they're heartbeat for a moment everything is quiet and peaceful. The sun rose higher and lory can't stay on the bed any longer although Zhao Li Xin said its fine but her body feel stiffed she used to get morning exercise and take bath before she starts her day.

She washes her face than she takes a simple robe and meeting at the archery range where Ming Yue Yin already waiting for her, she stops her practice and pout at Lory who walk calmly towards her "Your late!" she complains.

"I know….." Lory yawn "I sleep late last night…"

"Are you and uncle got busy last night?" she raised her eyebrows with teasing smiles.

Lory snort "I wish!" she takes one of the bows and checked the strings first than she lifts her head "How is you're aimed?" she stares at the mark on the distance who is pierced by dozens of arrows right on the center, looks like someone practice diligently.

"See yourself, its perfect!" she smugly smile.

Lory nods "Not bad…for a stilled target" she teased "TARGET!" she suddenly shouted than from the ground a mark appear randomly, in high speed she release her arrow she used her instinct to guesses where the target would pop out from the ground. One by one she released her arrows sometime before the target could stand perfectly, Ming Yue Yin gasped by how fast her movement Lory barely looking when she released her arrows, after a minuted she just hit twenty moving target.

She makes cheeky smiles "What do you think?" but suddenly another target pop out, Lory take the arrow from behind her back ain swift and release the arrow, with the sound of buzzing the arrow hit right on the center.

Ming Yue Yin mouth twitches "Show off…" she grumbles but she have to admit it does a great move, Lory winks her eyes playfully.

"Using you're Qi you can strengthen you're arrow even make it move faster but to guessed where the targets are or choose the best location to aimed you're target and when, its need experience, using this kinda a practice would enhance you're instinct and you're reaction, so from tomorrow used this for you're practice"

"Yes master!" she cupped her fist pretend as an obedient disciple.

Lory flick her forehead "I only accept cute disciple, you just too old"

"I'm cute and how dare you call me old!" she rebuked angrily.

'And you dare call me aunty'

Lory continues her practice but this time with the stilled target, this time she wants to practice her stand and focus, doing this is like therapy to calm herself, last night she almost blurted out everything and she voices something she most afraid about.

'What if Zhao Li Xin die?'

She never scared to die, her father teach her about honor and sacrifices for the Kingdom and for they're family, dying is the last thing she scared about but hurting other people because of what she did especially people that she cares so much, now that is terrifying, she doesn't want to live and watch everything she love taken away from her again.

In this world, she met a lot of people that she cares about, people who she considers to be family. What if her mistakes bite her back she managed to safe her previous world but what about this world, what about them?

"Hey aunty look, you're cute disciple is here" Ming Yue Yin words awaked her from her contemplating.

A little boy with bright purple robes with red Qilin embroidery on his chest tottering towards her, Lory put down her bow her eyes lit up when she sees the cute boys, Shin Jiu face beamed like a lightbulb when he sees Lory.

"Master!" he exclaimed.

Lory crouch on the ground than she squeezes his chubby cheek "Where are you from, leaving without noticing me" Lory pretend to be angry.

"I'm sorry, I'm going back home to cultivate and talk with my grandfather how to persuade the scary Lord," he said innocently. Lory gives Ming Yue Yin side-eyes, it must be her who teach Shin jiu called Zhao Li Xin like that. Ming Yue Yin pretends she didn't notice she look down as if examining her bow.

"I've been seriously cultivated this past few days and my stages are rise again!" he said proudly.

"Good job" Lory stroke the top of his head but than she whispers to Ming Yue Yin, "People said is very hard to raised cultivation by why everyone around me raised they're cultivation like they take a meal, it doesn't look hard at all"

Ming Yue Yin shrugs her shoulder, she also just realize this "I don't know…. I become like this because you're 'Gift' but I don't know what happens with other people, have you consider you surrounded by abnormal peoples"

"Aaah…I thought that's the cased" Lory feel she just got an epiphany. Zhao Li Xin and his subordinated, Ming Yue Yin, Li Mo Zhen, Shin Jiu even Yang Xi Yin is quite talented too so she does surround by powerful and talented people that's why her common sensed is a bit weird but is not her fault is all they're fault!

"Master I want to meet the scarry Lord, I want to show him I'm a great candidate to served him, he will see is not a loss to accept me as his subordinated" he puffed his chest confidently.

"Aaaw….of course, let's find the scar….the Lord" she almost called him scary too.

"Okay!" he nods his head firmly his chubby cheeks flush because too much excitement, his face now looks like a ripe apple, so adorable!

Lory leans towards Ming Yue Yin "Isn't my disciple cute" she nudged her arms.

Ming Yue Yin has to admit that boy is getting cuter every day "If scary uncle doesn't want to keep him, I will!"
