The Curious Play 48 The Untamed And The Stubborn Fool!

He was a very patient man but how come when it comes to that girl he always found himself annoyed and irritated in simplest way. 

"She's a stubborn brat and you're wild. .doesn't it makes sense to you that your world was miles apart?"

He frowned and let a sighed of frustration comes out from his mouth. He wasn't playing with her and he was not that serious either, what makes him confused was her reaction. 

When he kissed her he doesn't knew why but he felt like she was being curious on him as he was with her.

"Didn't she just responded my kissed with more than what I give? No! She give so much in return!" He sighed, indeed she feed him with fire and beat him with his own game.

He knows that with her status she never been a.s.sociated with any man, Not that he didn't knew but the look in her eyes. she was just a naive little girl hiding behind a woman stature.

She's an important figure in their kingdom, the future queen, and she can only have one man. The man that bound for her will never have another woman, he will be bound for her until the rest of their lifes.

That was good also. . having so many women means a lot of headache! He thought,

So what? does it concern you?

He stop when he realized what he was thinking."Right how does it concern me?"

He sigh again.

"What Im going to do with her?" 

He asked himself in confusion. He was turn between his unidentified feelings towards her or the mission that was given to him.

but when he remembered the necklace he was holding on he smiled and somehow find a glimpse of solution.

"Your smiles makes me think you just hit a jockpot!" 

He jerked when he heard his older brother's voice, he realized that he almost hit into the pillar if he steps one more time.

"You scared me to death.!" He complaint."Are you spying on me?" 

"Hitting off yourself into the pillar will knocked you out to death!" 

Tàizǐ chuckled. "And for the question. .well, Im still in my right mind keeping myself away in such important business!" 

His clearly teasing him, he almost rolled his eyes. Prince Ching is known as "third prince" and later known as Tàizǐ, is one of his closest siblings, not because they came from the same mother but it was the trust that his older brother had given into him ever since they were young.

He was a fair brother to everyone, he was just like him stubborn, wild and untamed. He will criticized him in an open but fought with him side by side in the battlefield.

"What.?" Taizi wave his hands in his face. "Are you just going to stare at me like that?" 

"I. .

"I thought. .I have to wait for you til morning!" 

He absentmindedly looked at his brother's face again, he blushed and shook his head while smiling. They were now sitting in the pavilion in the east palace.

"Stop running with your wild imagination!" Wu sighed.

"Humpp. .why is that?"

He smiled. "Its not game over yet!"

"Your slower that a turtle!" Tàizǐ chuckled.

"Indeed!" 

They both turn when they heard their younger brother eight prince, Yu diànxià.

"I never thought, you were that careful.!" he said while giving them a cups and served them a wine.

"This might be a game. .

"Not necessarily!" Tàizǐ snap, "You may think it that way but if you think you can't win over her then. .its not too late to pull back!"

Wu suddenly feel into a deep silence."Im not saying anything but im just reminding you not to be a puppet of someone else, who only wants to take everything for himself.!" This was the word that his older brother Zhang had told him.

On the other hand he was clearly knew that his borther,Tàizǐ, is using him in his advantage but he did not force him in that situation.

"Tàizǐ gē. .Im going to asked you something.!" Wu sighed,"I don't know if its necessary but I wanted to know, this might offend you perh. .

"Go on!"

"Are you just using me in this game?" he asked bluntly.

"Wu gē.!" Yu dianxia snapped sharply, as he was worried in their older brother's reaction. "Why do you think like that?"

"Its ok.!" Tàizǐ said calmly. "Its better that you bluntly asked me like this, Wu!"

"I just want to know. .

He paused while staring at his cup of wine.

"As you see. .I don't want to be in the middle of someone else battle with out knowing who is in my side. .you also know that Im a prince, you might as well considered me as one of the pain in your a.s.s!"

"If you decided to fight with the throne.." 

Tàizǐ paused and give a discreet laughed.

"At least I know whom I am facing with, its not just a shadow, hiding behind someone else!"

"What if Im really going to?" 

Wu stared at his brother, he was studying his older brother's expression while prince Yu had been quiet for sometimes listening to them.

"As an older brother this is all that I can do for you. .You may think it as another way arround but believed me! this is the only way to keep you safe. when everything turns complicated and Ye'er has to be sacrifice. !" He paused and gulp his wine in one straight shot. "I rather give up this darn kingdom than to lost her.!"

"Huh?!" 

Both Prince Yu and Wu gasps in shocked. 

"Why do you have to do that?" 

"So you could have a free way to fight for it! I rather give up everything into someone that worth my trust.. Beside how could I live my life knowing the reason of my existence is not with me?"

"But she is just a woman. .

Yu asked confusedly.

"A woman maybe. .but she's my life!"

"Tàizǐ gē. .you have to be careful!" Wu looked arround the place. "If they will knew she's your weakness then they might going to use her against you!"

Tàizǐ diànxià clenched his hands.

 "Its their bad!" He chuckled.

"She's scarier than you think she is.!" Yu commented that makes Wu looked at him in confused. "She knows how to. .

Yu make a certain action. .

"She is?" Wu asked in surprised.

"Yes. .and way better than me!" Yu admitted, he knows that his sister in laws kungfu cannot be underestimated.

"How?" 

"Her master. .is first to none in martial art world and famous in the field of poison." 

"Really?" Wu gasped that makes Yu nod."Does someone else knows about it?"

"Only few. .I guess" he said grimly. "Thats the thing Im worried about, she always put her life in line when someone dear to her is in danger.!"

"That's what it is.!" Wu suddenly thought of the incident in the street.

"Thats why. .you'd better get your hands off with Xin'er if you're just playing with her. .I don't wish you to be killed by Ye'er!"

Tàizǐ warned prince Yu in a certain manner, that makes both of his younger brother, almost choked in their wine.

"Its unfair!" Yu said defiantly. "you clearly consent Wu with. .

He was about to say something when Tàizǐ shut him with an imperious looked in his eyes.

"Anyway.!" Tàizǐ sighed. "Wu. .if you want to back out, you better do it now! The earlier the better to avoid too much conflict. There is one out there starting to build her trust on you, you might ended up on hurting her in the process!"

"Im just confused gē. !" Wu looked down, he seems like dejected. "But I think I also don't want to lost her!"

"Its denial.!" Yu muttered. "You clearly had a feelings for her, you just probably didn't realized it. !"

"I don't know what this fool was talking about!" Tàizǐ said grimly." You better not listen to this good for nothing expert here.!"

"Ouch, that's hurt!" Yu said clutching his chest in a fake manner. "Its just that the two of you lacked of understanding when in comes to women!" He pout his lips.

"Im giving you a last chance to understand yourself Wu. .Im going to make you, her personal escort in the hunting game!" Tàizǐ said ignoring their younger brother.

"Why is that?" Wu asked in confusion.

Yu chuckled. "Your such a big man. .Wu gē but sadly you have no idea about woman!"

"Shut up!" Wu snap sourly. "It has nothing to do. .

"Your wrong. .Tàizǐ gē wants to test both of you in this game. . if how far both of your stubbornness will bring the two of you! "He giggles. "One is the untamed and one is the stubborn fool who can't even admit to himself he's inloved!"

This time both Tàizǐ diànxià and Yu laughed, teasing him. while Wu's expression was rather sour as he was more confused than ever before.
