Chapter 22: World of Magic (Banquet)

Zu Gan came to the palace with his childhood friend and also the person who tried to separate him from his beloved Fan Zoa. He still remembered as clear as day when she tried to make him sleep with her.

He was disgusted by her, he only like her as a friend but she won't accept it and tried any means to get me and his beloved separate us. She is also the reason why he had to go to war and would stay there for a long time.

When he returned only the news of his beloved's burial was the first thing he heard, at that time his mind went blank and his heart was shattered into a million pieces.

He runs to the place where his beloved was. Only to see her laying in a cold coffin her beautiful face was sunken and her cute cheeks turned to bones.

That day he felt the world was cruel it took away the life of his beloved, then he lose it. He investigates everyone who was in contact with his beloved and had his revenge.

After taking all the lives of the people who hurt his beloved he also took his life to the place where they agreed to meet when he returned from the war.

Zu Gan looks at Fan Zoa coldly and ignored her, he came to the palace with his mentor in the previous life and was able to gain the attention of nobles.

Fan Zoa was shy, she saw Zu Gan was looking at her. Since they were young she had always liked him, she was happy that she came here with him. But she saw the look in his eyes were looking at her with disgust and no emotion.

She was stunned, why did he look at her like that? Does he hate her? What did she do to make him angry? Fan Zoa thought to herself her hands gripped into fists.

Zu Gan didn't notice Fan Zoa's look since he didn't care anyway. He was waiting patiently beside his mentor, he wanted to see his beloved so badly. Then he heard the announcement.

"PRESENTING THE HER HIGHNESS PRINCESS YU SEOL AND DUKE LU XIE,"

When he heard the name of his beloved he immediately turned his head to the stairs in front of him. Slowly, he saw his beloved, his heart was wildly beating in his chest.

That smile that he missed was shown on her face, this time he would protect her smile. But then he saw Lu Xie beside her, his eyes squinched in his previous life the princess didn't have anyone to escort her. She was with her brothers, so why is she with that bastard.

He can't seem to understand what change after he got his previous memories.

Looking closely at them he saw that the dress she was wearing was not the same as in his previous life. She was supposed to wear a beautiful sky blue dress.

He noticed something strange but he don't know what change, he was supposed to be a first lieutenant but was severely injured and got into a coma. The things he remembered were happening but some small things were changing slowly.

Without him noticing.

Then he noticed the two walking toward a small podium he was about to approach but the announcer once again spoke.

The King and the 2 princes walked toward the podium where his beloved and Lu Xie was waiting. Looking at how they greeted her he felt something wrong.

Then the words he heard were as if he was hit by thunder making his body go numb. His body was trembling, his heart was hurt and his emotions were a mess.

Hatred, sadness, anger, love....

Many emotions circulate inside him not knowing where to vent or how to vent them...

Fan Zoa noticed his abnormalities and wanted to calm him down but his face was very scary now. She didn't dare to speak and kept quiet.

Zu Gan knew that Yu Seol and Lu Xie didn't get engaged in their previous life. So what happened? Why did it change? His eyes looked at Lu Xie saying something to his beloved and saw him put a ring on his beloved ring finger.

He saw the ring and knew that it was the same ring, he took from him in his previous life which helped him survive life-threatening situations.

He was trying to calm himself but when he saw Lu Xie hugging his beloved he lose it and released his blood lust directly to Lu Xie.

Everyone felt the bloodlust of a second lieutenant soldier, they were looking at him disdainfully.

How dare he released bloddlust on the kings birthday?

Does this child want to die?

Heehhh, his bloodlust is directed to....?

F*ck he really wants to die?

He's already dead the moment he attack his bloodlust?

The watches whisper to each other. Yu dad was also very dissatisfied the second lieutenant dared to make trouble on his birthday.

Zu Gan didn't notice what they were thinking and wanted to cut off the arms of that bastard for hugging his beloved .

Lu Xie felt bloodlust directly to her and she easily blocked It. Her eyes looked at the hero's eyes, she saw him that coldly that he wants to kill her.

John also notice his bloodlust and wanted to stop him when he rushed toward Lu Xie. F**k

Lu Xie smiled inwardly, and looking at her fiance tenderly she pinched her chin gently and put her lips on hers. Yu Seol felt the bloodlust her eyes saw that it was the same person who blocked their way before.

She was about to scold him when Lu Xie pinched her chin gently turning to her, she saw her tenderly looking at her which made her cheeks turn red. Then she tasted something sweet, her eyes widen when she saw it.

Her fiance was kissing her, her heart exploded with happiness, put her arms around her neck and kiss her fiance back.

Zu Gan was looking at them from the beginning, when he released his bloodlust he knew everyone was looking at him. That's what he wanted, he also wants that his beloved to look at him.

When he saw his beloved looking at him, the darkness in his heart dispersed a lot. But when he saw Lu Xie kissing her, he couldn't control his emotions and rushed toward him with a sword in his hand.

Lu Xie pulls the kiss and hides her fiance behind her. Took her weapon and easily blocked his attack then kicked his stomach hard in the same place where she kicked him before.

Zu Gan fell to the ground clutching his stomach, his eyes were red and blood came out of his mouth. He was looking at Lu Xie viciously he gritted his teeth hard to taste blood.

"Guards take this person away," Yu Lan ordered loudly

Elite guards immediately step forward and took him away, they didn't give him a chance to struggle and make him faint.

"Forgive us for the trouble, please continue the party" Yu Lan apologized

Everyone returned to their topics and forgot about what happened. Fan Zoa and John followed the elite guards who took Zu Gan away.

Prince Lan was smiling viciously when he watched what happened, he is interested in that man. But he was way too weak, a single kick defeated him if that Lu Xie didn't control his kick he might have been dead now.

He drank the wine in his hand and his mind was already dizzy, he stood up and went to get a woman to play with him. His legs were wobbly as he walked when he saw a woman fainted on the balcony.

His face turned vicious and carried the woman to his room. Little did he know a person was watching him and shook his head and then left like he was never there.

------

Prince Hu was very interested in Lu Xie, not only is he strong but also his aura is impenetrable. He made up his mind to seek favor from him, to help him in winning the war.

He approaches them slowly and saw that the princess was holding the Duke's hand, he smiled.

"Good evening, Princess Yu Seol and Duke Lu Xie. My name is Hu Xuan the prince of Hu country it's a pleasure to meet you" he greets them politely

Lu Xie looked at him and remembered the original owner helped him in a war which they did win, and successfully took over the Lan country.

She nodded lightly at him, Yu Seol just smiled politely. Hu Xuan saw their approval in gestures and breathe in relief.

"Duke Lu Xie, I'm sorry for being preposterous but I want to discuss something with you privately," Hu Xuan said seriously

Lu Xie knew what he would want to speak "Your highness, I'm free tomorrow. How about we set a schedule for tomorrow afternoon," she said cold

"Of course, thank you. Then I'll not disturb any longer" Hu Xuan bowed them left

-----

The party went smoothly and returned home after having their fill. Yu's dad told Lu Xie to stay for the night which he agreed, Yu Seol urged him yesterday to make him stay. So he reluctantly agrees with his daughter.

Yu Seol excitedly said that they will be in the same room, which was rejected immediately by her father and two brothers.

They were not married yet so it's absolutely no way for them to stay in one room. Yu Seol pouted aggrieved but they were right.

Lu Xie was amused watching them and laughed a little quietly. She went to the room she was assigned which is next to the princess's room.

She took a short shower and put on a white polo the center was not buttoned showing her white skin. It's not noticeable that she is a girl because the original owner's mother made her wear bandages on her chest when she was young.

Making the breast not to develop and it was as flat as a board an AA type, which is convenient that people won't notice that she is a girl.

When she first came to this body she felt something missing but soon got used to it. This body is very much strong and flexible.
