Heavenly Bird

The voice its sound unfamiliar, its can't be Your Majesty come back already because he just went a moment ago. She hesitated to turn around to see who is behind her. Slowly she takes a sidestep back, and she is right. The person behind her really someone she never meets before. This is her first-time counter him.

He has black eyes, dark black eyes if you want to more specific, his eyebrows firm, square perfect cheeks, thin nose with same wide as his lips. He wears black robe that perfectly wrapped his perfect body that every woman dreams off, long sleeves till his palms. His smile is cold tempting, no one will look away with that smile, but one could be known that smile you will rarely see in his face. Even his close friends rarely see that smile.

She unconsciously saw him with open mouth in awe. She still in daze after a few moments until the man in front of her make a sound "Ahemm…. Are you alright Miss?" He asks with concern face but still tempting.

"Ow… I-I fine, thank you" she said the moment she regains from her reverie. She behind that man. The guards still stand around the pavilion until the end on the bridge. 'Why he came here? We never meet before, who he looks for. Maybe he has an appointment too with Your Majesty' she made concluded mind inwardly. And then she said "Mister, if you are looking for His Majesty, He has an audience with the minister and the senior scholars in main hall"

"Well, I didn't come to look for him. I come here to enjoy the scene like you" he said nonchalantly like he did this very often. "Birds here never perch on my shoulder, even as long as I remember never perch on my hand, once." He said to contemplate the time that pass by.

"That bird is not an ordinary bird. And they never perch to human like you. So, it's seemed like you are a special one" he keeps explain to her like she is his best friend, also this made him wonder who she is, why a heavenly bird come, mingle and play with human.

He's eyes stared at her sharply with burning eyes, like he will devour her completely to read her mind to know who she is. He keeps that idea for himself for now.

Qing Yang listen to his words and startled with the fact what she just heard. Well, she never intent to do that. She just enjoys the scene and suddenly the birds fly in the air above her and one of the birds come near her and decide perch on her shoulder. She never asks that. She just like to being surrounded by the birds. She though the bird is same just like the birds in the forest. But who knew that bird is heavenly bird.

With that burning eye stared at her, she feels uncomfortably. She makes an excuse for herself, she said "I am just an ordinary fisher daughter Mister, and I am here because His Majesty asking me to come and wait him here until he finished with the audience in the main hall" her leg become weak by seconds, but she tries to stand still. It's really uncomfortable to stand in front of him like this.

If she did not make a promise to the emperor, she will immediately runway by now. She has no choice to stand still with the hope that emperor will come quickly.

But somehow even he stared at her with burning eyes. Unbeknown to her, she feels safe. Like there are thousand stronger powers surrounded him, to protect her from any harmful things in this world. She feels something very strong power, pull her to him.

This an easy feel makes her nervous, her heartbeat faster, pumping like lightning keep striking into the air when in heavy rain. She can hear her own heartbeat, she afraid the mister in front of him can hear it too. She wants to step away, make some space distance from him. Hoping her heart will beat slower but inside to pavilion have little space to move.

So, she decides stand sill to looking down her head, looking on the ground and this moment she just realised that the ground it's transparent, the ground made from the glass. You can see the fish swimming back and forward in the pool. This view really amazes her.

The water so clean that make you can see inside the pool. There are many kind fish in the pool, big, small. Not only fish, but colourful stone also decorate the bottom of the pool. Coral reefs with many styles in some spots. She feels like she stands in the heaven garden. Spontaneous this makes her sit down on the floor, to see the view closer.

"I can bring you some place with the view more spectacular than this, if you wish for" the man said, make her awe stop an instant. And she just realises that she already sits down on the floor if grandma saw her like this. For sure she will list down all the attitude that she already teaches her at Xiao Hai House. She immediately stands up on her feet. Clapping her hand and squeeze her knuckle, anxious.

Because there is no response from her, he asks "So, would you like to come with me?" he said with seductively sound in her ears. She tries to find an excuse, to buy some more time until the emperor return. She keeps praying inwardly with her eyes looking straight forward, behind the mister. Hoping the emperor coming.

"Don't Be shy, I am a very patient person you can find know in this palace, right know. in front of you. Compared to the guards, I am more pledge to bring you back to your home later, after we finished visit the place that I want to bring you to" he said casually, like they have made friend long time ago.

"Hmm… I am grateful for your concern Mister, but inappropriate for me if I go right know without inform to His Majesty. As I am only an ordinary citizen in this kingdom. Came here only to fulfil His Majesty command, I am apologising if I made mistake here, maybe other time on other circumstances" she tries to put the greatest attitude in front of him, hoping he is not feeling offenses by her excuse.

"What if I insist to bring you?" He steps closer to her, to close the distant between them. He raises his hand, brough it to her left cheek, he brushes her cheek with his slender knuckles to feel the softness of her cheek skin.

Her spine stiffed, startled. Afraid to make a move, she stays put in place, her eyes full of anxious. She doesn't know what to do. But suddenly emperor voice saves her.

"Hai Zian, fancies to have you here. Is there something special event brought you here? I didn't know about that"
