CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

Several black shadows darted between the trees, slashing sharp long swords that made the leaves fall from the dense trees, the sound of the wind as a light body darted between the trees until there was the sound of sharp weapons clashing in the air.

“Ting ting ting ting!” more than one, many black shadows chasing each other, chasing their prey, someone who ran on the mossy ground so that he shot back up the tree while waving his sword until several black shadows managed to catch up and attack the figure.

“Hiatt!!”

The sound of the owls still filled the void after the battle area moved far away to the next place, people of course with extraordinary abilities.

........

Back at the Lie family’s guest house.

Several guards were seen vigilantly guarding every corner of the simple big house occupied by the Crown Prince’s entourage, in the corner of the house a building resembling a horse stable for horses to rest and eat, not far behind the big house there was a building without walls that was none other than an open kitchen for cooking, and behind the large building several small buildings with warm rooms for sleeping, for servants and bodyguards who would be changing shift, including one of them BeiYau who even though he was lying on the bed with the rest of his men but kept his ears open alert, his earlobes moved, when he heard something beyond the sounds he had been accustomed to since they were there.

“Prangg”

.....

Without wasting the time, the big tall young guard grabbed the hilt of his sword and rushed out of the room.

Meanwhile in the Crown Prince and BaiYing’s room.

LuoXiang tried to close his eyes, even though the bed was very uncomfortable, not like his own of course, but being by BaiYing’s side and hugging him now, nothing was more comfortable than that, even though, his body ached from the hardness of the bed.

“Owh”

BaiYing was already asleep beside him, sideways to him with his hands on his chest, his sleeping face, needless to say, the young man was indeed very cute and adorable, LuoXiang never got tired of seeing him.

The blanket that covered BaiYing’s chest was lifted up to his neck.

“Sleep like a baby, what if someone kidnaps you?” The Crown Prince grumbled,

He was just about to lay his head down and close his eyes when there was a soft knock on the door, it’s already past midnight, who else dares to disturb him, wants to die? He screamed in his heart.

Soon there was a soft voice right at the door.

“Your Majesty, I beg your pardon, however, there is something very important,” BeiYau’s voice said.

LuoXiang pursed his lips, his personal guard, didn’t he know that he would be very angry that his night with YingYing was disturbed by anyone, including himself, would he want to be punished by him? This is really annoying, cried the Crown Prince inwardly, although he often grumbled in his heart but slowly after releasing BaiYing’s grip and putting his hands under the blanket, LuoXiang got up from the bed, approached the door, and opened it.

LuoXiang’s eyes went big seeing BeiYau angrily but he restrained himself from shouting, lest his beloved wake up because they were noisy, he closed the meeting room door and prepared to scold BeiYau who was already standing in front of him bowing his head deeply, however, his voice which had not even come out yet his mouth had to stop, seeing who was already not far behind BeiYau.

“You”

...

Morning comes.

The cool air in the valley outside the beautiful city of DuAn makes the morning air quite cold, thick fog still hovers in the air making visibility short, some local residents carrying their farming equipment are ready to walk to the fields with very thick clothes that make their bodies look twice than its original size.

The calm atmosphere made BaiYing, who was sleeping very soundly on his bed, pull up the blanket and hug it.

“Heh, it’s so comfortable” however, his hand found no one beside him, unlike his usual for the past few days. The young man opened his eyes, pulled his body up, still with his eyes drooping from sleepiness, rubbed his eyes and looked at the simple rooms that were already lit by the sun and found the Crown Prince nowhere, he pulled his two hands up.

“Hoaaa” smiled widely when he saw the door opened from the outside and his two maids came in, Yan who brought a basin, and Bi who brought a clean cloth, as they always do every morning.

“Good morning Your Majesty, Your Majesty is awake?” Yan asked putting the basin on the table, while Bi helped BaiYing whose legs still hurt to get off the bed and sit on the chair in front of the round table.

“Em, Your Highness the Crown Prince, where is he? It’s too late? How come that guy didn’t wait for me to wake up, how busy is he?” BaiYing asked, more than one question followed by a frown on his face, his maids glancing at each other holding back a smile.

While Yan tidies up BaiYing’s bed, Bi approached with warm water and a towel for BaiYing to rinse.

“Your Majesty has important matters and had been busy since dawn, we don’t know for sure, but His Majesty the Crown Prince’s order us that we must not leave Your Majesty alone, he said it would be a bit late too,” replied Bi.

“Oh really? Where to? Could it be that he went back to the palace and left me here? Is Lan’er coming with him? aYa too? Is that person bored with me? On one cold night, he had a dream and suddenly the thought occurred that he was actually bored with me.”

Hearing BaiYing’s words which were more like grumbling made his two maids chuckle, this young man is indeed adorable, it’s not strange that everyone likes him so much.

“Hehehehe Your Majesty, how could that be?”

BaiYing pursed his lips,

“Well if not then what? Heh, I am, indeed useless, poisoned by people, kidnapped by a giant serpent, causing chaos everywhere, heh, maybe, His Highness the Crown Prince is really tired of taking care of me, a poor person who doesn’t know when will get lucky”

“Who dares to be bored of my YingYing?” Crown Prince’s voice, BaiYing frowned, why does that person always do it? That tall, overly handsome man already several times entered his room and cut him off, suddenly, is there no place in this world to hide from him?

BaiYing’s maids lowered their bodies to salute the Crown Prince who had arrived near BaiYing, the man sat in front of the young man and placed something he had been holding on to the table.

BaiYing glanced at what the Crown Prince had placed on the table with a fairly neat brown paper wrapper, the smell of which was fleeting.

LuoXiang smiled, he raised his two hands to squeeze BaiYing’s cheeks in annoyance.

“This child, is so adorable, why is your face sullen like that?”

BaiYing tried to let go of LuoXiang’s hand.

“Your Majesty, why are you always pinching and squeezing my cheek, it’s already swollen.”

The Crown Prince chuckled.

“It’s not swollen from squeezing, but swelling from eating too much, YingYing doesn’t realize that all the food you eat is filling up your adorable cheeks.”

LuoXiang’s hand was about to squeeze BaiYing’s cheek again but the young man held his hand, a warm hand that didn’t stop holding it.

“Your Majesty always teases me”

LuoXiang laughed, couldn’t help but look at BaiYing’s adorable face, it really made his heart flutter and he always wanted to laugh, anything related to BaiYing made him feel very comfortable. BaiYing let go of LuoXiang’s hand and turned his back to the young man in annoyance.

“Okay, I’m sorry, is YingYing hungry? See what I brought you this morning?”

The Crown Prince grabbed the parcel that he had placed on the table earlier and tugged Bai Ying’s hand to face him back, but the young man continued to push the Crown Prince’s grip away.

“No, Ying’er will just go on a diet then, so as not to be said to be fat.”

“Who said YingYing was fat? You are so skinny to the bone, the fat is only at the cheeks, it doesn’t matter right, let’s just say it’s for me to pinch once in a while, let’s see this is delicious food”

The young man was furious, he turned his back to LuoXiang, and even though his stomach was churning because the worms were scrambling asked for food rations, but he would eat less from now on, but, he frowned, why didn’t the Crown Prince try to persuade him again? Why is he be so quiet? Had he given up? And the smell of the food, the smell was quite recognizable, even though it was prestige but BaiYing tried to glance at it.

“It smells great, it’s still hot” exclaimed the Crown Prince lifting out the contents of the paper bag whose smell tickled BaiYing’s nose immediately, the young man widened his eyes at what the Crown Prince was holding in his hand.

“Wow jerky! This is for Ying’er, Your Majesty, where did Your Majesty get it from?”

LuoXiang had just lifted a piece of beef jerky out when BaiYing’s hand grabbed it, he couldn’t help himself, no matter what the prestige was, this was the beef jerky he had been yearning for a long time.

“Umm It smells great.”

The Crown Prince couldn’t help but smile, BaiYing’s face as he grabbed the beef jerky and smelled it, especially biting it with a wide mouth made him stunned.

He propped his chin with his hand on the table looking at BaiYing’s face which turned a thousand degrees when he saw his favorite food.

“In the center city of DuAn, BeiYau who was on patrol found a shop that was very busy since morning, so he bought it for you knowing you like beef jerky so much”

“Guard Bei is very considerate”

LuoXiang enjoyed BaiYing’s very close face.

“Why is Bei? He’s my subordinate, that means I’m the one who cares about YingYing, look, tsk, you almost ate your own hair” LuoXiang raised his hand to brush the hair that fell in front of BaiYing’s forehead, while the boy ate, his face unable to stop smiling at the Crown Prince, his mood improved drastically.

“Hehehe this is delicious”

“This kid”
