The Princess And The Lord

[Xin...let me go...]

Blood dripped from her hands into the pool of blood where her body sank, Zhao Li Xin looked around her with a confused face then her eyes caught Lory's lifeless body floating in the pool of blood, Zhao Li Xin's face turned pale he hurriedly chased after Lory's body yet her body, getting farther away, Zhao Li Xin's screamed but no sound came out from his mouth then he heard cackled and a pair of yellow eyes shining in the darkness stared at him.

Zhao Li Xin's body jerked from the bed with sweat dripping down his forehead, his eyes frantically swept the place around him yet everything look strange and the person he looking for was not around immediately his heart beating like a drum, fear and panic engulfed him then all of a sudden the door in front of him opened then Lory came out wearing only a white towel while gritting her teeth [Ugh, The water too cold!] she grimace.

Zhao Li Xin's wide eyes fell on Lory's figure for a moment before he realized that she was dreaming and that was all in the past. The war ended they won Lory was fine the world was fine they transfer to a different world but they were together and that was the most important thing! slowly his heartbeat slowed down Zhao Li Xin wiped his face trying to look as calm as he could.

But Lory notices the heavy mood around him [Li Xin what's wrong?] Lory sat next to him then he looked worriedly at Zhao Li Xin.

Zhao Li Xin forced a smile because he didn't want to worry her [Nothing, I just had a nightmare]

[Oh…] Lory wiped the thin layer of sweat off Zhao Li Xin's forehead.

Lory could guess what kind of nightmare he was having, it seemed that the last incident when he almost killed her had become an ineradicable scar on his heart. What makes Zhao Li Xin scared the most is knowing that it was not impossible for him not to hurt Lory when his mind was taken over by darkness.

[Li Xin look at me] Lory gently turned Zhao Li Xin's face towards him [It's all over, look we're both still alive and together, right?!]

Lory's purplish eyes glisten offering warmth and the turmoil in his heart gradually subsides then a small smile spreads on his face [Yes, we are still together...that is the most important thing] he takes Lory's hand and kisses the back of her palm so gently as if she were a fragile crystal vase.

[I take a bath now!] Zhao Li Xin then slide from the bed then went to the bathroom.

Lory watched the door close and took a deep breath, Lory worried about how deeply that incident had scarred Zhao Li Xin unfortunately there was nothing she could do except try to lessen his pain.

"I wish you were here old birdie…" Lory smiled resignedly, but he only down for a second before she pick up herself and then carried on with her business as usual because for Lucient it was a luxury to be able to dwell in sorrow.

Lory brush her red hair and then tied her hair into a ponytail, she doesn't forget to wear green soft lens to cover her eyes

The bathroom door suddenly opened, Zhao Li Xin appeared with only a white towel wrapped around her waist while traces of water dripped from her hair onto her bare chest, [I forgot to bring a change of clothes]

Lory's eyes flowed from his firm chest to his waist, and subconsciously she gulped, Lory had forgotten how strong Zhao Li Xin's sexual charm was and even after so many years of being his wife she still wasn't immune to his charms.

[Wife?] Zhao Li Xin called.

Lory's eyelids fluttered a few rapid beats before she managed to press the raging desire inside her before she was able to speak calmly [Oh, quickly put on your clothes!] She averted her eyes from this heavy temptation [I also bought underwear and socks for you, can you wear it?] Lory spread all the things she bought for Zhao Li Xin on the bed.

[How to wear these panties?] Zhao Li Xin looked carefully at the triangular shorts.

[Simply spread and slide between your legs then pull up to your waist] Lory teaches.

Zhao Li Xin tilted his head in contemplation before he do what Lory told, soon he finish dressing up which he find it very simple compare to the multiple layers of robes he used to wear in his old world so inwardly he added another plus point to this new world.

[I'm done!] Zhao Li Xin turned around to show off the results after dressing himself.

Lory laughed at his childish act but she had to admit Zhao Li Xin adapted quite well to her world compared to her, it's just…why does he still look breathtakingly beautiful in ordinary clothes? It's only long sleeve black T-shirt and jeans but why does he look like a runway model instead? this is not good!

Lory scratch her head didn't know how to hide this heaven-defying perfect human being from public eyes, it become more and more annoying at least in Zhao Li Xin's world his reputation kept other women at bay and some foolish one would be handled by Mong Yi and Mong Ki, but here….

[What's wrong wife? do I weird?] Zhao Li Xin looks at himself in the half-size mirror,  he does feel a bit weird.

[No, you look good… too good] Lory lifted Zhao Li Xin's veil then muttered to herself [We need to find sunglasses and a face mask]

Zhao Li Xin tilted his head without a slight doubt, [Should I wear a mask like before, maybe we can find a mask like that around here or I can make it myself,] he seriously considered.

His sincerity make Lory feel even more ashamed thinking how she had become so possessive over him, Lory pouted her lips and shook her head shyly [No, you'll just look more suspicious, I'm afraid there would be more officers that will question us instead] Lory sighed heavily then headed towards the door but then stopped abruptly he turned again towards Zhao Li Xin [Make sure you keep your hood on! ] she warned Zhao Li Xin sternly.

Zhao Li Xin nod obediently [Okay!] he then raised his hoodie to cover his head.

Lory look at Zhao Li Xin that whose face was cover not only by his hoodie but also by his long hair but still she feel uneasy then again what else she could do?

Once they reached the first floor, Madeline suddenly waved at them, "Miss Jane!"

Lory's expression immediately changed, she smiled politely as she walked towards the counter where Madeline "Morning, Miss Kyle"

"Good morning, please call me Maddy!" she waved her hand and giggled, she become even more friendly after what happened yesterday.

"Oh then.. what can I do Maddy?" Lory had a favorable opinion of the young girl after she had tried to help her a few days ago.

"The truth is my boss felt responsible about yesterday's incident so he told me to give you free transportation to your hunting grounds" Madeline reached under the table and handed Lory the key with a Poko-Poko keychain "Here is the motorbike key which you can use for free, the motorbike parked at the front you can recognize it from the Poko-Poko plate on it"  she looked away shyly after giving explanation, why her boss is so childish!

It happened that Lory was worried whether she had enough money to rent a vehicle because the place she was going to was quite far, who would have thought she will be so lucky?!

"Thank you, Maddy, you really helped me!" Lory genuinely thanked her.

"Don't mention it, I wish I could help you more." Maddy still felt bad about yesterday's incident not only she couldn't help when Lory was being bullied by the thugs she also couldn't help Lory when the officers interrogated her.

"Don't worry about it, this isn't the first time this has happened to me" Lory brushed it off like it was nothing which Maddy appreciated very much.

"Thank you, Happy hunting then!" Maddy smiled brightly.

"We will!" Lory shook her keychain before she left. Zhao Li Xin didn't understand what they were talking about but he understand enough that Maddy was helping Lory therefore Zhao Li Xin give a s light nod before he followed Lory.

Madeline instantly blushed at Zhao Li Xin's politeness, even though she didn't have any inappropriate feelings toward Zhao Li Xin but her young heart inevitably fluttered when a handsome man acted kindly at her.
