The Prodigious Princess Qin Zetian 40 Chapter 38 - Lost 3

"Maximus I cannot go home with wounds like these, bring me to a place where I can rest. Bring me somewhere I can hide. Thank you"

Then I slowly drifted to sleep and lost consciousness.

---

With an aching head I woke up. I slowly open my eyes. The sunlight greeted me and birds sang so lively. I touch my forehead. It has a bandages. I checked my clothes but it has been changed, yet the ident.i.ty jade was tied still on my dress. I frowned.

I scanned the room and help myself up. Where is this place? Where am I?

The curtains are dancing with the wind. I cannot stand but I can imagine. Where did dad's horse brought me? What is this place?

The bed I'm laying on is covered with the finest silk. The clothes I'm wearing is also made of silk, as well as the curtains and everything else. The walls are oddly cemented with deep rich carvings. And the wooden things have markings. I cannot identify them, is it possible for me to be in another place?

The door creaked open.

A man engulfed in blinding light walked in.

I covered my eyes for a brief moment.

"You're awake, let me help you. It's time to eat"

Servants came in, but all of them are males. The man whose presence is so undeniably strong pick the tray up and walk towards me. Suddenly my whole body became stiff, it's as if someone is controlling me.

He sat beside me. And I have never thought I'll see someone as G.o.dly as him. Eyes so blue that I wanna drown in them. Nose so sharp and brows fairly thick. His lips so red and skin as white as pearls. His hair is oddly thick, long and curly. I held my breath for a moment and it's as if time has stopped running.

"Open your mouth"

I eventually woke up from the daze and stared at the food in front of me.

"What is this?"

"Food"

"What did you mix in it?"

"Just eat!"

"O-okay"

I opened my mouth and started eating. The food is somehow delicious and I love its distinct taste. It did not take me long before I finished the whole bowl. Then servants came in again and gathered the empty tray. Another batch of servants came in bringing clothes for me I a.s.sume.

"Where am I?"

"Your in a far away place"

He stood and walk towards the windows, then he stare outside.

"Why am I here?"

"It was your request to go somewhere far from home to recuperate" he answered

"What's your name?"

I waited for an answer but he didn't answer

"Why am I here?"

"You are here because it is your choice, and to stay here will still be your choice"

But nothing's free in this world, so how much will it cost me?

"How much will it cost me?"

"Just a marriage"

"Oh just a marriage, a little thing-- WHAT DID YOU SAY? DID YOU SAY MARRIAGE! FREAKING MARRIAGE!--"

"Tone down, I am not deaf"
