Volunteer
With the sound of hushed murmurs, Hao Xuan was brought back to the present where he found himself to be the center of attention. Ceni was staring directly at him right in front of everyone and people were beginning to talk.
Dai Zhi cleared his throat and brought the attention back to himself.
"Please help me by welcoming the bride to be!"
One person stood up as a sign of respect and others followed suit, forcing Hao Xuan to join in as well. One of the female came forward and whispered something in Princess Ceni's ears. What little light of hope she had was instantly squashed by a few sentences and from her.
With a lowered head she walked to the top row and sat down on the empty chair beside Tian Zheng.
Tian Zheng looked her up and down, his lecherous gaze undressing her on the spot thinking of all the 'fun' he was going to have with her but then his mood suddenly soured as he glanced towards Hao Xuan.
