JUST A TASTE

JUSTA TASTE

Xing slowly opened her eyes and let out a slight yawn, her eyes went around the room and she bit her bottom lips as she tried to remember how she came on the bed.

She quickly stood and arranged the bed , she left the room and met Xu kai , who was dressing himself.

" Good morning , your Highness" she bowed.

She walked up to him and helped him wear the royal robe.

" The belt" Xu Kai said and Xing brought a belt .

She put on the belt and Xu Kai stared at himself in the mirror and shook his head.

" Old leather " he muttered and Xing dropped it down.

Xing brought another belt and he stared at it like he hadn't seen it before.

" What's wrong with the belt , you wore it yesterday" she said and Kai nodded.

" Looks old " he replied and Xing nodded slowly.

" What about this one? " she smiled, bringing up another belt.

" Try it on " he replied and Xing put on the belt for him.

" Seems loose " he said and Xing adjusted it, " a bit tight now " he added and xing frowned adjusting the belt.

" That's too loose , make it not loose, not tight" he smiled and Xing nodded with a smirk.

She immediately adjusted the belt , making it very tight.

" That's very tight , did you plan on killing me ?" Kai rolled his eyes as he took the belt from her.

" Am sorry your highness, why would I wanna kill you , besides if I kill I don't think there's anyone I would wanna be their personal maid" she sighed and Kai stared at without an expression.

" It seems like you are going out , can I go with you ? " she smiled and Kai scoffed.

" There's no way that's happening , so you could go there and cry me a bucket , no way "

" It's going to be so boring here , just don't wanna see the face of those witches " she scoff .

" Who said it's going to be boring , look around you , what do you see??" He asked, turning her around.

" The room " she replied and Kai nodded.

" Clean the whole chamber , wash those clothes , dust every single place, I don't think you will be bored after doing that right?" He asked and Xing frowned.

" But I… I …., The chamber is so big ,how do you expect me to clean this place up all by myself , do you even have a heart " she frowned, hitting her hand on her head.

" You don't know ?"

" Know what ?"

" Am considered as the demon lord in this palace , don't expect me to treat you good " he smirked, taking his sword.

The door opened and Lee Wu came into view.

" You look different, " Lee said touching Kia's cheeks .

" How do you want your death ?" He said and Lee immediately pulled out his hand.

" Xing Xing " he called and she rolled her eyes at him.

" You should better start respecting me or you won't stay long here " he whispered into her ears and she smiled.

" Let's see about that " she whispered back into his ear.

Lee rolled his eyes at her as they left the room.

Xing looked around the room and let out a groan.

"How on earth am I supposed to clean this whole place , besides it's clean anyways" she hissed .

She came out of the room and went into the maid quarter.

" Chu Chu " she smiled, hugging her from the back. " I miss you so much, " she sighed softly.

" Me too, " Chu Chu replied .

Xing turned her cheeks and pulled her face.

" Tell me the truth , did that old jinx bully you again , tell me right way "

" I wasn't , am okay" she said to Xing .

" I don't want to ever see you hurt, " she added and chu chu nodded.

" Why did you sleep last night , in Prince Xu Kai's room right ?" She raised her brow and Xing gulped down.

" It's not actually what you think , we didn't … do anything " she stuttered and Chu Chu face palmed herself.

" How can you sleep with a full grown man and nothing happened , is he okay at all " chu chu half yelled and Xing covered her mouth.

" Do you mind keeping it down?" she rolled her eyes and brought down her hand. " Nothing happened "

Yu Yan, who was at a corner listening to every single thing they had been saying , was slowly losing her breath.

How exactly is Xu Kai sleeping with such a low Life , isn't it against the law. She thought inwardly as she left the corner.

" I have to wash off those plates, " Chu Chu muttered.

" Don't worry I will help you" Xing smiled as they walked into the kitchen.

As soon as Xing entered the kitchen , all eyes were on her, mean glaces . She could tell they all were angry at her for a reason best known to them.

" Whore " one of the maids said and the others burst into laughter.

" Excuse me…" Chu Chu said and the maids faced her.

" Can you girls at least for once use your brain and not your ass? " Xing said and the maids frowned.

" Well why don't you try controlling that thing under your legs, do you think we won't find out that you seduced the prince , you low life" one of the maids said and Xing gave her a slap.

" Am not a low life okay??, And I didn't seduce your damn prince" she shouted as she wiped some tears from her eyes.

" What have I done to you all, why do you hate me so much , I never wanted any of these to happen" she said trying to control her tears.

" Then just disappear , leave , I hate you" one of them shouted leaving while the other left too.

Xing slowly sat down on the ground ,she couldn't help but cry out .

Chu Chu looked at her and also started tearing up.

" Am sorry I dragged you here " Chu Chu sniffed.

" It hurts , it hurts so much , words hurt me more than action" she broke down into another round of tears.

Chu Chu sat beside and held her tight , Xing slowly rested her head on her shoulders.

XIOA chi walked towards Xu Fen's chamber with her maids behind her , she was planning to have a brief discussion with him.

" Good morning , Your highness" they guards all greeted with a bow

" Is Xu Fen inside?" she asked.

" Yes , he is inside " they answered as they opened the door for her.

She entered the sitting room and sat waiting for Xu Fen to show up.

" Mother" Xu fen said as he came into the sitting room.

" Xu fen, " she smiled.

" Why are you here , you don't usually come to visit me , what's so special about today?" he said and she chuckled.

" What ?? Why are you acting so grown up,I can still remember carrying you around" she chuckled softly.

" Are you teasing me now??" He smiled and his mother pulled his ear.

" Ouch!!! Mother , that's painful" he frowned and his mother raised him.

" I have something to say, it's quite important" she said sitting down.

" What's it now ?" He paused and touched his mother's cheeks.

" A duel will be coming up soon " she said and Fen's mood changed immediately.

" Duel?? With whom?" He asked.

" Xu Kai of course , the challenge will tell who will be the crown prince and the Future king to this Kingdom" she said and Xu fen slowly nodded.

" I don't Want to engage in the duel , he can go ahead and make him the future king , besides I'm just a mistress 's child" he said looking away.

" Don't say that , I will make you the future king , you will become the future king" she said and Fen immediately stood.

" I don't want to be , please just let it be , I beg of you mother , besides am no match for Kai , he's stronger and he suits to become the future king and not me" he sighed facing the window.

" I think I need a break," he said entering his room.

XIOA chi sighed and left his chamber with her maids.

" I need to see the minister Peng " she turned to Yu Yan and she nodded.

" Leave us " Yu Yan said and the other maid left.

Xio chi walked away from there and entered into the royal carriage ride and drove off.

MINISTER OF DEFENSE HOUSE

" Your Excellency , the king's woman is here to see you" A guard said at the door entrance .

The door immediately opened and Xiao chi immediately came into view

She bowed her head and minister Peng immediately nodded to her greetings.

" You don't seem okay , you look pale, " Peng said, pouring her ginseng tea.

She took the tea and sipped from it.

" What's this your on how to eliminate Xu Kai and the King* she said.

" Why do you seem interested all of a sudden , and who said I was gonna eliminate anyone" he replied.

" I know you very much , you've always wanted to be King " she smiled and Peng nodded.

" And you've always wanted to be queen , you even had to poison the late queen in other to become a mistress" Peng said sipping from his tea.

" And thanks to you , am few steps closer to becoming the queen" she responded

" Why do you then seek my plan" Peng said.

" Because I know you , I know that your supplying fake drugs at a cheaper rate In other for the people to turn their face form the king , I also know about your illegal business , how is the salt business going " she replied and Peng immediately frowned.

" Don't be too quick to forget your place , Xio chi" he snapped.

" That I won't forget , A duel will be coming up soon and I want my son , Xu fen to become the Crown prince of Chenzo" she replied and Peng chulcked.

" I knew a time like this will come , you will never stop being you , would you ??"

" Of course , I enjoy the new me " she smirked and Peng nodded.

" And how do you plan on paying me for this?" He asked and Xing gave a devilshly smile.

" If my son becomes bthe Crown prince , it will be easy to for us to cooperate with the Japanese swordsman, Kenzo and finally we can have other kingdom now at our feet, isn't that what you want too" she said and Peng chuckled.

" You have my full support " he replied and she smiled sipping from her tea.

" I know you would" she smiled clicking thier cups together.

EVENING ,IN THE VILLAGE

Kai and Lee were walking towards the woods. They were going after a man who was suspected for selling fake drugs to the family that died after their dinner.

" Just stop, there's no where to run " Lee Wu said pointing the sword at him.

" Why did you sell fake drugs to that family?" Xu Kai asked drawing out his sword. ' don't make me ask you again".

" Who said I sold them fake drugs huh, that's was the drug thier money could reach" the man replied.

" You sell drugs that kill human and you have the guts to defined yourself ??" Kai shouted and the man scoffed.

Kai immediately sliced off one of his hand and he winced out in pain.

" Ahhhh, my hand…. My hand…." He cried loudly.

" Where did you buy the drugs from ?? Do you make them ?? Answer me ??" Kai shouted, kicking the man down.

" Do you really think they died because of my drugs ??, Why did they then have the disease symptoms??" He laughs crazily as he coughs out blood.

Xu Kai and Lee both exchanged glances.

" Do you know anything about the disease?"

" Do you think I will tell you anything ?" He paused and coughs out blood. He quickly held his chest and groaned bitterly.

" Fine, don't tell me anything , I will find out who supplies you the damn drugs" Xu Kai said, cutting off his head.

He sighed putting back his sword .

" That's was a waste of time and energy, gosh I feel so sleepy" Lee yawned .

" I don't really understand why is taking so long In finding out who the supplier is , he seems quite smarter than I expected." Xu Kai said and Lee nodded.

" Leave this for tomorrow okay, it's damn late already, we've been in the village for so long am starting to feel hungry , you Know" he hissed climbing his horse.

" We won't go back tomorrow if we don't succeed in finding out the supplier " Xu Kai replied climbing his horse .

" Whatever, you can eventually sleep here " Lee hissed as they rode back to the palace.

" See you tomorrow , Xu Kai" Lee said and Kai frowned.

" Seems am being too kind " he replied drawing his sword.

" Huh?? Your highness , please forgive my ill manner , it won't happen again" he swallowed nothing and Kai smilled hitting his head .

" Of course my boy , now run along* he replied and Lee ran away.

" I hate you…..!" He screamed as he ran without looking back.

Kai shakes his head started walking towards his chamber.

" Good evening , Your highness" they guards greeted at the same time with a bow.

He ignored thier greetings and went inside , he widened his eyes as soon as he stepped into his inner room.

He stared around his room and sighed , he gently touched his swords and they were still dusty .

" Go get me Xing" he shouted as he opened the door and one of the guard ran off to get her.

" Good evening , your highness" she bowed as she entered the room.

" What happened to what I asked you to do?" He said and Xing sighed.

" Actually I felt ill," she replied, faking a cough.

" You felt ill huh?" He scoffs getting closer to her.

Xing immediately gulped down as she kept moving backwards , still she hit her back on the wall.

" Am sorry , your highness, you can definitely punish me " she closed her eyes and Xu Kai nodded.

" Of course I won't leave you unpunish" he said putting his hand on the wall , instantly Xing could feel her heart melt. Her eyes were fixed on the ground.

" Your punishment will come later " he muttered as moved back and Xing sighed softly. She touched her heart and she could feel it racing as fast as ever.

" Thank you so much , your highness" she smiled as she turns to leave and suddenly stops.

" Do you need anything , your highness" she asked and Kai nodded.

" Actually, I want you to…" he paused and clears his throat.

" You want me to what ??" She asked and Kai ruffled his hair.

Damn how is he going to tell her, he wants her to sleep with him.

" I need your help" he finally said.

" I definitely do anything for you, your highness" she smiled and Kai nods.

" I need you to sleep here " he said and Xing dropped her jaw.

" You want what ???, Excuse me , what do you think I am ?? A whore , I can't possibly lose my Virginity to you , what will people think of me when the finds out I slept with you , who will marry me" she half yelled and Kai closed his eyes.

" That's not what I want you to do , just sleep beside me that's all , I can't sleep without you" he said and Xing widened her eyes.

" Can't sleep without me ….., what's that supposed to mean??"

" You know what? Just pretend I said nothing , you can leave " he said and Xing bit her bottom lips

" Is it because of the nightmares?? Do you have them often" she asked and he nodded.

" Then I sleep here " she said and Kai smiled inwardly.

She immediately jumped on the bed and hled the pillow tight.

" Gosh I love this bed " she giggled and Kai smiled .

He immediately went to the bathroom and freshened up. By the time he returned back to the room , xing was already asleep.

He quietly climbed the bed , he laid on the bed wmabd without a second thought, he pulled closer to Xing.

All of a sudden , it felt like Kai was slowly losing it. He practically felt his brain leaving his head.

He immediately slammed his lips on Xing's soft lips , Xing immediately woke up.

" Your highness…." She said as Kai pulled her closer and began kissing her deeper.
