Four

Huang was carried back to his courtyard, as Oni had left back to his palace as well.

Huang was meditating, purple aura surrounded him, as a soft-toned voice spoke: "You are the one living with my brother, I'm quite surprised."

Huang slightly opened his eyes, to see, a young girl, standing there in a light pink dress, with her hair tied up, staring at him, for a moment.

"Your highness, I presume that you're a princess as well." Huang spoke with his eyes slightly opened "If I'm wrong then I do apologize."

"Your not wrong, to be fair your nothing like I expected, Perhaps I over thought about this." She replied "You May address me As "The beloved highness" and swear absolute loyalty to me, and the fourth brother."

"Hmm, I'm not willing to be a mutt to your fourth brother, neither to you, I have sworn my loyalty under my given name and the master I followed, as her heirs as well, and any who I find fit to, so you're out of luck, Your highness," Huang admitted.

Huang closed his eyes again, not bothering to care for anything around him.

She sighed, [Sister it may not be easy to sway him, he's loyal to royal brother Eugene, since childhood, and loyal to all the princes expect I and Sixth brother, and other brothers under my name, you may try as long as you like]

"Then, I will stay by your side till you will be on my side of this war!" She shouted, "My name is Ash Jin!"

Huang sighed, "Nana have the food served this princess might get a bit peckish."

Huang's eyes slightly opened again, "Huang, Oni's here again."

"I'm coming, Aki, watch the princess, also watch nana for me," Huang whispers in his ear.

"Yes." Aki's monotone voice replies.

Huang walked outside to see Oni standing there carrying a sword, slightly smaller then he is.

"So you wanted to practice today? Alright, why not." Huang replied, "I have something I want to show you, though."

Huang walked over to a little chest in his courtyard, "I told Eugene that I would give this to you when I felt like it, so I guess I should now before I forget."

Huang grabbed a sword, "This is a sword I had made for you, in A Qi, so don't go breaking it, it cost me a lot, so yah."

The sword was a katana on the handle it said 'Weng Zhou'

"The name means the one willing to save all for his own life," Huang explained "That's a noble name for a sword. The owner shall be stronger than another bearing some of the weight of this world. May you not suffer a fate then I could ever deal with."

Huang's eyes slightly closed, "Your hiding something, a great pain in your heart? Better yet at the banquet you never told us, what happened after you left the capital all those years ago, not one bit not even how you live standing here, today. With such a dire wound you still live barely, breathing, and your body alright."

Huang turned slightly to face her, "Why would I tell you? Better yet why bother still being here, you'll never learn anything, I don't dare trust you! I would die than swear loyalty to you, a person who works under a monster! A man whose hands are covered in far too much blood to count, it's so horrible they couldn't even describe it in papers! So dare say, why would you still have hope that I would swear my life to a man who rules over all is so great any who defy have to flee for their life!"

Huang coughed slightly as blood dripped slowly out of the sides of his mouth, as a mere knife punctured his side where his wound was slowly healing, "You're far more cunning then I presumed, Royal Princess."

Her eyes became cold, "So? I couldn't get the man I wanted, no Better yet! I have to suffer day by day living in this world, not once fearing for my life because...I have no use in this palace! One day I'm gonna get married off and have to have a baby and forever live there, till the day I die! I never wanted that, I wanted to fall in love with the guy I wanted, or better yet a nice one! And I got you...But I come to realize I can't force you to marry me as guys can! No, I will be married to the crown prince of A Qing in a matter of months! So if I did this, I couldn't at least live to see that day, the day I'm married to a man, I don't love."

"Royal sister, You have some nerve, daring or stupid whatever you chose. Have her dragged and tell Royal father she tried to kill someone tonight, this exact time." Yuki's cold voice echoed "Also have someone treat him, now!"

Huang sighed, [This kid will get colder and colder from now till the end of his days if something doesn't change]

Huang stood there gazing at him, with his eyes slightly opened, "You're becoming more and more like him every day, and I don't like that."

Yuki froze in his spot, "Who are you talking about?"

"Someone, never mind it, I want you to know that if you even dare become that man, even though all the hell you'll cause I'll still love you to pieces." Huang explained, "But, you darn kid try to cause all these problems, even once it doesn't matter if I die, I will stop you, once and for all, ya got that!"

Huang was annoyed, for two things, one, he just got stabbed, two, he just confessed to a prince in front a bunch people, the guiltier part is that the empress is gonna attempt and kill him, or force him to the task.

Yuki, on the other pointer, was absolutely surprised at the unexpected declaration that arose formulated before him. It was like climbing up a mountain for ten minutes then forgetting all you were doing beforehand, thinking this over he was in utter confusion not knowing what may occur in a matter of moments, but also very pleased at the same time.

That girl ash who's in the background, was watching the whole thing, was stunned!

Meanwhile, Huang was sitting in the bed, crisscrossed apple sauce. Having his eyes closed and aura surrounding him like before, "I presume you want something? Princess."

"You have acted the same as before my sister attacked you." Ash replied, "You say nothing to this at all."

"What's there to be concerned about? I'm nearly calm as I always am, there's nothing to be angered about, something that can take a lot of time, I Don't particularly appreciate something like that." Huang explained "I'd rather be calm, that way there people don't think I can get swayed as people clearly think I am. I'm not as weak as you are. So don't think I'll fall for your ploy."

Huang still has his eyes closed, not caring for the person in front of him, "Huang, You're forgetting your manors in front of my sister, you should be careful of the servants, there not exactly loyal to their masters."

"Ya know you can call me ung-ung, as the master did," Huang replied "I don't mind."

"Huang, That's not my concern right now, I telling you—-"

Huang eyes opened, cold and lifeless in those few moments, "I don't care, shes doesn't concern me, a insignificant person for as I see with my eyes, if she gets killed I have no sympathy, understand that, she loyal to a perosn who almost killed my bestie, so shall I care? None shall I feel, rather have her six feet in the grave!"

Huang's eyes slightly closed, "Huang, this...Any normal person would be okay, but she's...ya know."

"Don't matter, she can, excuse my French, fuck off." Huang replied.
