We're already strolling around the central market, and it makes me feel refreshed that I can finally go out of a palace with only four corners. If the time comes when the emperor comes, I know that I won't have any leisure time.
"My lady, do you want to buy any particular item or snacks? I can buy it for you right away," Min er asked with a wide but beautiful grin.
"I don't know what kind of snacks are delicious in this country. Can you tell me what I can buy, Min er?" She continuously nods her head, which made me laugh. This girl is really cute.
"Then, my lady, I'll show you the way to the fruit stalls." Oh, fruits, I wonder what fruit they sell in there.
I was deeply thinking about what it might be when I suddenly bumped into something, but when I felt a hand on my back to support me, that's when I realized that it was a person that I had bumped into.
"Forgive me," I immediately pulled away from him because it was inappropriate. I didn't see his face because he is so tall that the sun shone on his face.
"I see, so that fate really favors that person tss" I was caught off my trance because he suddenly spoke.
"What?" I asked him, but that's when I finally saw his face. His face is much more handsome than the other men that I have seen before, but what really caught me was what he said.
Is he one of those people who like to talk to themselves?
"I'm sorry, young lady, the one at fault is me, so you don't need to apologize." When he said that, he looked like a wronged child. I can feel his longing for someone, but why is it directed at me? Do I know this person?
Before I take my turn to talk, someone called me.
"My lady, where have you been… greetings, Jin Wang." I was immediately surprised because of what Min er said. This person is a first-class prince, a Wangye. I immediately lower my head to show respect.
"Forgive this princess for not realizing Jin Wang." When I looked at him again after I said those words, he looked so troubled.
"There's no need for Lady He to ask forgiveness; it's also my fault for not introducing myself first." Somehow this person's aura looks familiar; it felt like I had known him for a long time, but it's strange because it's the first time I've met this person.
We bid our goodbye to the Jin Wangye but why do I feel like he's hiding something because of what kind of smile he gives off before we parted our ways.
I really wonder why.
"My lady, I have brought your favorite grapes. Do you still want to buy anything in this market?" She asked me while holding two baskets of grapes. Min er even for me, those look like so many grapes.
"T… there's no other thing that I want to buy, by the way, Min er, who is that wangye that we have met earlier?" Once again, she looked out of nowhere, then looked at me again.
"My lady, that person is the 4th son of the previous emperor and half-brother of the current emperor. He's the Jin Wang, if I'm not mistaken. His name is Nangong Jing. Why, my lady, do you feel somewhat weird around him?" How come she knows?
"N… nothing in particular." So, he's a brother of the person I'm to be wed to.
A Suivre…
