World 2.4

'INFORMATION ACQUIRED'

'Xiao Zhen, second Prince of the Carnatia Empire. He was Zi Yuzuo's love interest and he was here because he was into royal training.'

[Thanks for that!]

"Wei Shin!!"

Qi Feng called out from a distance dashing towards them, he was almost gasping so hard the moment he reached the two's pace. After catching all the oxygen inside his lungs, he quickly bowed his head. "Your highness, I am very sorry for the accidental matter, this is my fault because I am the one assigned to guide this new slave" he said solemnly

"I, Qi Feng, the Prince Yuzuo's Personal attendant will gladly accept any punishment for this slave's mistake" he added,putting his close fist on his chest

[Ehhh??!!! Wait a goddamn minute!! Why was he standing for me?!!]

Wei Shin wanted to complain but Qi Feng glanced at him secretly, telling him to follow him. Wei Shin then once again lowered his head "I am very sorry, your grace!" he exclaimed solemnly then he secretly gritted his teeth "This is unfair" he thought to himself

Silence fell into them, the sweet scents from the flowers once again brought to them by the chilly wind inside the garden. Both Qi Feng and Wei Shin were nervously waiting for Xiao Zhen to mention their punishment.

But instead of hearing some cursing words like cutting their heads or throwing them into the den of the lions they heard a slight chuckle.

[Is he laughing? Is he mocking us? Excuse me! But our lives were on the line here!]

DICCU: Host, calm down

"Raise your heads" Xiao Zhen ordered.

Qi Feng and Wei Shin raised their heads and they were astonished by what they saw. Xiao Zhen was giggling but his lips were under the yellow and white floral fan.

Xiao Zhen met Qi Feng's eyes "General Feng, I am very pleased to see your loyalty towards the Prince" he said then he glanced at Wei Shin "State your name.." he ordered

Wei Shin then averted his gaze "Wei Shin was the name, your highness" he replied very firmly

The Second Prince quickly closed his fan "I forgive you, since you are Prince Yuzuo's new slave you can rest assured…" his eyes became soft "I would also like to apologize for not asking the matter first" then he smiled

Wei Shin was delighted by his warm reply so he bowed his head "Thank you so much! This slave will be careful from now on, your highness" he exclaimed in joy

The conversation between them was interrupted when two of the palace guards arrived, approaching Xiao Zhen after bowing their heads towards Qi Feng, their General.

"The Prince ordered us to fetch his slave named Wei Shin together with General Qi Feng" one of them said

Xiao Zhen instantly curl his lips and lightly raised his eyebrows "How about me?" he asked bluntly. The royal guards bowed their heads again "Your highness, the Prince ordered us to tour you inside the Palace" one of them answered

"B-But I thought he needed to do something?" Xiao Zhen insisted once again

"That? We don't know any information, your highness" they answered back

***

"Why are you so nervous Wei Shin?"

Qi Feng asked the male who was walking beside him. Wei Shin was very quiet since they arrived at the Palace entrance up to the hallway. Qi Feng can see the nervousness in Wei Shin's state because the male kept on fidgeting his fingers.

"We are here…"

Wei Shin almost bumped Qi Feng's back because his head was fixated on the ground. "I'm sorry!" he blurted out

Qi Feng smiled at him and then he knocked three times on the door "Your royal highness, your slave was already here" he said then they both kept quiet, waiting for a response.

After hearing the silence, Wei Shin jolted in panic "Is it really okay to bother him?" he asked. Qi Feng then glanced at Wei Shin "It's okay, maybe the Prince was just sleeping" he walked behind the male and pushed him towards the door.

"Ehh? What are you doing?" Wei Shin exclaimed in shock

Qi Feng smiled at him and opened the door widely. "Now it's your turn, goodluck!" then he pushed the male inside, drawing a grin on his face.

"Ehh? Where am I?!!" Wei Shin almost exclaimed then he quickly covered his mouth after realizing that he was alone inside the room.

He roamed his eyes around and saw how wide the room was. There are big glass windows with thick curtains, the room decoration was simple but elegant. There are different kinds of paintings hanging on the wall that piqued Wei Shin's eyes so he walked inside tracing the very end of it.

In the middle part of the wall,he saw a handsome figure painted on a very fine canvas. It was Prince Yuzuo, wearing a General's uniform and a sword on his waist. "He's emotionless" Wei Shin shrugged his shoulders after seeing Zi Yuzuo's plain expression on the painting.

[I beat his smile is very expensive]

He took a step backward to get a perfect view but in so much clumsiness he bumped into something that caused him to stumble down beside the long couch.

"Ow!" he groaned because he almost fell on his own tail.

Wei Shin opened his eyes and when he turned his head, he saw a handsome figure sleeping quietly on the couch beside him.

"Ekk!!" he sprang up inches away, his heart was thumping so hard like he lost his soul. "Crap, he's really here!" he yelled inside his mind

[Did he wake up?]

To make sure, Wei Shin tiptoed towards the sleeping Prince and then when he watched him, Zi Yuzuo was still sleeping. He sighed, a sigh of relief. He was going to ignore the handsome face of the Prince when a small petal stuck on his hair fell down onto Zi Yuzuo's face.

"Ehh??!!!" he yelled inside his mind "What to do? What to do?" He panicked, not knowing how to remove it.

'...Gyaaahh!!!! I don't want to touch him! But I need to remove it!! Gahh!! Welp me! What to do?! What to do?!! Will he cut my head if he finds out? But he was sleeping right? Right? There's no problem in it, I will pick it quietly and carefully!!!...'

Jinli then decided to put a little shame on Wei Shin's character as he slowly lifted his right hand towards the Prince, he leaned very close making sure that he wouldn't touch Zi Yuzuo's skin.

Wei Shin was holding his breath very very tight and slowly and surely he lifted up the small petal.

He did it!

He was halfway achieving his mission when a forceful grasp stopped his wrist mid-air.

"What are you doing?"

Wei Shin's eyes widened, his knees trembled down while sweats started to drip from his forehead.

Zi Yuzuo's cold and sharp red crimson eyes struck him instantly.
