CHAPTER FOUR

"I prepared fun games and a feast tonight to celebrate our Lord and Princess Hans' last night of being unmarried." Lei announced after everyone arrived at the banquet hall.

"Before we go on I'd like everyone to present their gifts for the soon to be couple." She continued after pausing to see the reaction on everyone's face.

"Here is mine, pearls from the west." Luo responded in a manly manner as he brought out a fancy pearl necklace that looked really expensive.

"It's for my future sister-in-law." He completed facing her. She blushed recalling what had happened earlier at the dressmakers' store.

"Lee and I have prepared a swan by the lake for you." Lin said facing Yen trying to get a reaction from him; it was only natural since he was the youngest brother. Yen was unimpressed; he just wanted to be alone with her again.

"Thoughtful of you to be of use Lin." Yen replied making everyone silent.

"Lord Gu, you shouldn't say things like that." Lei cautioned signaling at Clea to take the necklace from Luo.

"I have entertainers to perform for us." She added ready to call them in.

"Have them stay at the guest house and perform at the ceremony tomorrow night." Yen replied bored of the little party Lei had thrown. She gestured to send them off.

"Don't be a mood killer Lord Gu, Mhu and I took it upon ourselves to get a hundred year old wine from the brewer this morning." Yi said in a playful manner as he beckoned to the maids to fill everyone's cup.

"Now it's a party." Luo said happy there was alcohol, Lee looked uninterested. 

"Don't be afraid to drink." Lei said smiling at Yen because he was known to be bad with wine. He just rolled his eyes and fixed them on Clea.

"Clea, drink this and tell me what it tastes like." Han ordered facing Clea who stood beside her. She didn't care if she had little or no tolerance of alcohol.

Yen watched as Clea reluctantly reached out for the cup and poured the whole content into her mouth with a few drops on her lips. He licked his lip trying to resist the urge to kiss her as he gulped his drink also.

"It tastes good My Lady, a bit hot I'll go outside for some fresh air." Clea said squeezing her face from the sour and hot taste of the drink.

"You can barely handle anything." Han replied allowing her to leave.

"The princess must have a high tolerance. How about a challenge?" Luo asked raising his cup and gesturing at a maid to fill Hans' cup

"If she wins we'll present her a fancy carriage." Lei said supporting the idea, thinking it'd be nice to get them both drunk. She turned to Yen but he was lost in thoughts of her.

"Lord Gu, are you okay?" Lei asked seeing he was tipsy.

"Fill my cup." He ordered ignoring his sister as he could only think about kissing her. Lee could tell something greatly troubled his mind, like the time of their mothers' death.

She had no idea where she was headed but she missed him, how he touched her.

  -In Lord Gu's Chamber

He walked inside barely able to stand as he saw a figure lying on the floor. He went closer and found out it was Clea. She must've been really drunk to have gone into his room. Tempted by the sight of her asleep, he had to hold back.

He carried her up causing her to wake up. She could only feel his body.

"Who are you?" She asked drunkenly as he went to put her on his bed.

He turned the lights on causing Clea to sober up a bit the moment she saw his face. Maybe he could feed his desires now?

"My….Lor….Lord…" She stammered trying to get out of the bed but her wobbly legs kept failing her causing her to keep falling back. He walked towards her, staring at her lips and she slowly backed into the bed unsure of what to do.

"I'll make sure you call me by my name tonight." He said in a domineering many as he sat in front of her holding her thigh. Seeing how drunk she was, he tied her hands behind her with her belt.

"Don't do this." She begged embarrassed by their vulgar position, her clothes were almost off her body. He slowly went under her dress holding her legs up while taking off her undergarment with her struggling to break free.

 -At the hallway 

#Her breasts look so soft.# Luo thought as he and Yi accompanied Han to the west chamber because of how drunk she was.

"I'll get her some medicine." Luo said to his brother who was barely managing to control his tipsy state. He tried hard to look away from her upper boob too.

"I'll go get it. I need some water anyway." Yi responded turning back immediately to leave both of them. He needed a break from his tempting thoughts.

"Can I kiss you?" She asked in a low voice that he could barely hear as she stopped walking.

"Forgive me." She quickly added staring at his lips. Catching him by surprise he wasn't sure what to do, this was Princess Han, his brothers'; Lord Gu's wife-to-be.

"You should get some rest." Luo responded causing her to feel rejected. He noticed how her mood dropped and felt guilty then he pushed her against the wall and kissed her neck instead, her scent made him hot.

She let out a soft moan and pulled him closer, intoxicated by his touch. What would her father think of her if she loved another?
