Zhao Ming swallowed her saliva as her grip around the cushion which was on her lap tightened.

  Sweat beads started to appear on her forehead as strange memories like scenes started to appear in front of her closed eyes. Though the dream which invaded her sleep was not as bloody as before but she wasn't particularly happy.

  It was an empty feeling.

  In the dream, she saw a young girl which she had seen previously in her dream which was crying on the battlefield with blood-splattered everywhere.

  The young girl was sitting in her spacious luxurious old room which seemed like her chamber and was crying pitifully.

  " Miss, please don't cry. If you cry like this, then I will also start to cry. " A young girl standing beside her patted the shoulders of the girl.

  The girl covered her face with her palms and wailed louder and said, " How can father do something like this to me? I am his only daughter. I am the Princess of Tan Dynasty, how can he give me away in a marriage alliance like this?" She sobbed as pearl-like tears rolled down from her eyes.

  The girl felt bad for her as she tried to calm her down, " Why are you thinking like this? I am sure His Majesty must have chosen a capable man for you. You know how much he loves you. How can he give your hand in marriage to anyone." She patted her Miss's shoulders while passing her a glass of water.

  Tan Xiu cried loudly hearing her words. She said in a choking voice, " I don't want any capable man. I……just want…… Commander Yuan So……Ahmm." She cried loudly as she said his name.

  The girl was petrified when her Miss called the other man's name so loudly. She covered her mouth with her hand as she looked around.

  If anyone heard them calling Commander Yuan Song's name, it would not only start gossip but her image will be ruined.

  Such matters especially relating to women can ruin their reputation in the society and if these words fell into His Majesty's ears, then she had no idea what would happen.

  " Shh……Miss, how can you take his name so loudly? What if someone heard it?"

  Tan Xiu jerked her hand away and glared at her, " So what? It's good that they will hear it. I don't care. I want him and only him. Even though I am the princess of the Tan Dynasty, do I have to sacrifice my love for a man who is already married and has many concubines?"

  " You said, capable man? Even though he is an Emperor, he can't be compared to my Commander Yuan. He is just a pervert who looks at girls with his cheap eyes. I wanted to gauze his eyes out when I saw him at the banquet." She huffed in anger as she broke the sculpture placed on the table.

  " Miss……shh…… you can't speak like this so loudly about your……to be husband."

  Tan Xiu huffed in anger as she slapped her hand away.

  " Who said he is going to be my husband? I don't agree with this marriage. I am not getting married to that stupid perverted Emperor. I need to tell my Commander Yuan. Only he can convince my father at this moment. " She stood up from her chair, wanting to go out.

  The girl held her back and said, " Miss…… what will you say to him? He doesn't even love you. How can you leave everything for a man who never cared for you? "

  She tried her best to prevent her miss to avoid the biggest mistake.

  Tan Xiu frowned and asked in a deep voice ," What did you say? How can you say that he doesn't like me? He just……he is bad at expressing. That's it. Have you ever seen the way he cared for me?"

  " He never leaves me alone whenever he sees me at the market. He also talks to me very nicely and is very protective towards me. "

  " Have you seen him talking to other women other than me? Hmm? " She questioned while knitting her brows.

  The girl was surprised seeing her interrogative tone and was a little perplexed.

  She sighed and said, " That's because you're the princess of Tan Dynasty. It's his duty and responsibility to protect you. Also, he never talks to other women in front of you. How can he talk to the other women in the palace? How do you know that he doesn't have another woman in his life?"

  " Has he ever expressed his love for you? Miss, it's been a year since you are running behind him. Now please stop it. His Majesty didn't force you for marriage before but……now you're 18 years. If you didn't get married, then it will be difficult for you to get married later. You should not waste your life behind a man who doesn't even know your existence."

  Tan Xiu's eyes turned red hearing her words. She sat on the chair and stared at nowhere. Tears started to form in her eyes as she recalled her maid's words.

  She is right. He has never said that he loves her. For whom she is preparing to abandon everything?

  The girl let out a deep breath seeing Tan Xiu settling down. However, after a while she stood up which startled her.

  " What…… What happened Miss?" The girl looked at Tan Xiu with her wide eyes.

  She was afraid that she will do something stupid and get into trouble. In the past, she has gone out of the palace just to get a glimpse of that man Commander Yuan Song and has gotten into trouble many times.

  She couldn't understand how come her naive and beautiful Miss could possibly like a man who is cold as ice and cruel as a wolf. He is known as the most ruthless man who has killed hundreds of people without batting an eye.

  Even His Majesty was impressed the way he works and how he has reunited the whole military.
