39 World 2.16
The aromatic scent from the flowers once again invaded the plain air as it miggle with the dancing bees hovering above it. The sun was in the middle of the sky, giving a warm and calm light that penetrates the small spaces of the shady trees they're under.
As usual, Wei Shin will just watch the majesty sitting on the other side of the table enjoying his tea. The Prince was still expressionless, he elegantly delivered his favorite cup below his lips like he was enjoying the smell of his tea.
This time, his hair was in a perfect bun above his head with a dragon design hairpin and a red long ribbon across his forehead. He wasn't wearing his usual clothing either, it made Wei Shin a little bit nervous because Zi Yuzuo is really stunning and handsome right now for just a coffee time.
"Uhh...Are we dating or something? He dressed too well" Wei Shin thought,squinting his eyes in secret while scanning the Prince's appearance today.
"How are you?"
The Prince made him jolt again, who wouldn't? His voice was enchanting that anyone might be tickled from it. Wei Shin smiled "I'm fine,master!" he replied as he quickly took the cherry on top of his cupcake "How about you master? Are you doing fine these days? You seemed to be very busy? Can I be a little help? You know I'm not literally that good at doing royal things but I can handle and do it because I'm a fast lear-----" he paused and swallowed the piece of cherry stuck inside his mouth.
"What is it?" Wei Shin asked
Zi Yuzuo was surprised by Wei Shin's continuous words and long phrases. He wasn't expecting him to be this bubbly when he was with him. Normally, Wei Shin would tremble in fear and give him a single answer. Somehow,it made him a little bit glad knowing that Wei Shin is becoming comfortable with him.
Zi Yuzuo half smiled and lifted up his cup "It seems like you are getting noisy these past few days, Did Qi Feng influence you?" he smell the lid and took a sip
Meanwhile, Qi Feng who was behind the bushes inches away from them jolted after hearing the Prince. It was his station, just inches away from the two to serve as a guard.
Wei Shin took another slice of the sweets from the table and chewed it happily "This is dewisious,mashter!!" he exclaimed with his bulging cheeks
Zi Yuzuo put his cup down "If you eat aggressively, you'll choke"he said
Wei Shin quickly gulped the sweets and took a glass of water. "I thought he was stiff and hard like a stone, but when you showed him a calm side he will give it back" he thought
[I guess Qi Feng was right afterall ]
Zi Yuzuo was in a good mood and he found Wei Shin's reaction amusing. So in the middle of his quiet presence he made a question inside his mind and asked his slave.
"Shin, What do you think of me as your master?"
Wei Shin paused, he leaned his elbows on the table and cupped his own cheeks as he scanned the male inches away from him.
DICCU: Jinli, your table manners
Wei Shin frowned "Hmmmmm.." he uttered between his breath while thinking real hard "Of course I think of you as the royal Prince,your highness" he stated "But when we are alone like this I feel a little bit superior from the other royal servants" he added
Zi Yuzuo crossed his arms "And what made you say that?" he threw a question
Wei Shin put down his hands and leaned on the chair "Because when we were alone, I am seeing the real you,master" he replied "I know it, because I'm comfortable when I'm with you" he added
[ Come on! Come on! Break my lines...ehehehe]
SWOOSSHHH…
"Wei Shin!!!!!!"
Qi Feng dashed towards the male and embraced him when a dagger came out from Zi Yuzuo's hands which made Wei Shin froze.
The two rolled on the grassy ground.
Qi Feng looked at the Prince "Your majesty?!" he exclaimed "What are you doing?" he asked
Zi Yuzuo stayed silent and walked closer to them and because they're both sitting on the ground, the Prince's shadow covered their pace, it reflected his blazing red crimson eyes as he looked down.
His fiery eyes pierced Wei Shin more "Are you still comfortable with me?" he asked with a cold tone "Stop blabbing nonsense words without thinking" he said
Wei Shin lowered his head "Y-Yes,m-master…" he replied with his shaky voice.
'DING! BREAKMETER: 70%'
[He's contradicting it!]
Zi Yuzuo turned his back "Now I'm bored, send him back to his room, Feng...I still have a lot of work to do" he left the two in daze.
On the other hand, Qi Feng grasped Wei Shin's shoulders "Are you okay?" he asked worriedly. The male just nodded back, still with his bowed head.
Qi Feng looked down and saw Wei Shin's closed fist, his arms shaking. He lifted up his hands and brushed Wei Shin's hair. "It's alright, no need to be scared" he said while patting his head.
Under that shaking arms, Wei Shin made an expression between shock and amusement. He lifted up his head and faced Qi Feng, raising his thumb "I'm okay!" he exclaimed
Qi Feng was startled "Your nose is bleeding!!!" he exclaimed too
'..Who wouldn't have a nosebleed!!! Zi Yuzuo was so hot and cool just now!!! Did you see it, Diccu? The way he surprisingly threw the dagger? It was so smooth!! And the way he glared under his shadows with his red crimson eyes?!! Aaahh!! He looks like a hot villain in a manhwa!!!..'
Jinli screamed inside her thoughts, she was so excited and blown away at the same time. She was so mesmerized and surprised, she'd never thought that she would experience a thing like that once in a lifetime.
DICCU: Uhhh...Jinli? Are you okay?
[No no no!! I'm not okay! It was so hot!! I might passed out
DICCU: You're scary!
[I won't give up on him! Ehehehe…]

"Wei Shin!!!"
As usual, Xiao Zhen dashed towards him and hugged him very tight with their squeezing cheeks. "I miss you so much!!!" Xiao Zhen exclaimed in excitement
The Prince gave orders to him that he can now accompany Wei Shin whenever he likes like before.
Wei Shin bowed his head the moment they separated "It's been so long, your majesty" he greeted the male with respect
Of course, Qi Feng was always on his side as his guard, Xiao Zhen hovered around them and pinched Qi Feng's cheeks "General Commander Qi Feng? Aren't you overlooking Wei Shin too much? You're always with him…" he stated
Qi Feng smiled at him "I'm just following some orders, your grace" he replied
Xiao Zhen then grabbed Wei Shin by the wrist "Let's play hide and seek!" he exclaimed and dashed somewhere dragging the male along with him
Qi Feng jolted "Y-Your highness!!!!" he blurted out
Xiao Zhen, who was running a meter away with Wei Shin, smirked "Catch us if you can,Royal Commander!!"
"W-Wait!!!!!"
The two ended up resting in an unknown place for Wei Shin, both gasping for air. Wei Shin can tell that Xiao Zhen was strong, he was trying to yank away from him earlier but he couldn't take his wrist away.
"That was epic!" Xiao Zhen exclaimed,slumping his body on the grassy land while giggling. "I didn't know that Qi Feng was slow runner" he added
Wei Shin watched the second Prince smile and laughed his heart out, his face was indeed pretty. No wonder, he was destined to Zi Yuzuo but behind those calm green jade eyes he can tell that there was something off.
"Prince Xiao Zhen, Why did you bring me here?"
Xiao Zhen paused and lifted up his body "This is my comfort secret place" he replied, eyes on the blue clear sky under the warm noon sun "This is a restricted place" he added
Wei Shin flinched "Restricted?!" he exclaimed
Xiao Zhen saw his reaction and laughed "It's okay, you're with me!" He stood up and pulled Wei Shin once more unto his pace.
Not far away from the place they rested, they stopped at the edge of the hill, more like a cliff. The chilly wind brought shivers to Wei Shin's system, he was standing on the edge and Xiao Zhen was behind him.
"Look at that!" Xiao Zhen exclaimed pointing on some place
Wei Shin gulped, taking his nervousness away he looked at where Xiao Zhen was pointing. There he saw a busy place, houses and horses guiding and passing by. It was like he got a full view of the whole city, it was beautiful yet scary.
"Isn't it pretty? You can see the whole city from here" Xioa Zhen said, tapping the male's shoulders
Wei Shin nodded back "It's beautiful" he tried to smiled
"Oh? Wei Shin? Are you scared of heights?" Xioa Zhen peek behind his head "Look down" he said
Wei Shin looked down and saw another set of houses, but it was different from the ones he saw in the cities. It was like an average household.
"If you fall from here and the people there find you, you can survive and live a normal life away from the palace. Is that exciting?!" Xioa Zhen said
It made Wei Shin a little bit comfortable. "Uhh..Your highness? I didn't know what you are talking about" he uttered
Xiao Zhen grinned and leaned his head on Wei Shin's shoulder "Let me explain" he whispered
And before Wei Shin could blink his eyes, a warm palm pushed him on the cliff. He was stunned and petrified until he felt his body falling down.
The last scene he saw was Xiao Zhen smiling at him while waving his hands in the air.
