Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

278 Love, Trust, Friendship and Brotherhood

Lóng Wei opened his eyes and found Li Hua wasn’t beside her. He was lying on the support of his stomach while the sheets covered his lower half. Last night, she let him get close to her physically. He was taking everything slow with her while making her fall more and more in love with him.

He smiled, thinking about Li Hua as he hugged the pillow tightly.

“Your Highness, the Princess Consort is waiting for you outside,” a maidservant informed Lóng Wei, who immediately opened his eyes.

“Why?” Lóng Wei asked as he pulled the sheets up. “Why didn’t she come to wake me up?” He complained. The maidservant kept her head low when he dismissed her. Lóng Wei got out of bed and put on his thin silk robe. He went outside the room to check for Li Hua, but he didn’t find her.

“Where did she leave?” He scratched the back of his head before heading to the washroom. After an hour, he returned to the chamber and got ready. Li Hua wasn’t still present in the chamber, and it made him wonder where she left.

He walked out of the room and looked for Li Hua in the corridor. “Did she leave without me?” He mumbled when Li Hua hugged him from behind.

“Li Hua, where were you? I was looking for you everywhere,” Lóng Wei said, and turned to face her.

“I was here only,” Li Hua replied as she stepped back and danced in happiness at her place. Lóng Wei was astonished to see her so happy in the early morning.

She was swirling at her place when Lóng Wei stopped her. “Will you tell your husband why you are happy?” He rested his hands on her shoulders.

.....

“I have received a message from the King,” Li Hua said.

“What type of message?” Lóng Wei was puzzled by her statement. What did the King give Li Hua that she was so overjoyed?

“His Majesty is ready to make you the Governor,” Li Hua pronounced and again smiled. “Eunuch Gao Bing was here earlier, and he gave,” She took out the tiny scroll from inside the waistband and showed it to Lóng Wei.

“Forgive me. I was too excited to read it and opened it before His Highness could,” Li Hua said as she forwarded the scroll to Lóng Wei. He took the scroll from her and drew her into his embrace.

“We made it, Li Hua,” he said, and was unable to express his happiness. He was finally given the position that he had never even imagined before. It became possible only after Li Hua came into his life. He always called mischievous, arrogant, egoistic. Everyone told him that he wasn’t good enough to handle any position in the kingdom.

This was what they called happiness felt like. Not happiness, but accomplishment! This was the second time he got this feeling. Earlier, it was when Li Hua confessed her feelings for him. He never worked hard for anything the way he did to make a place in Li Hua’s heart.

Less than a month, he achieved many things: Love, Trust, Friendship and Brotherhood.

Li Hua pulled away and asked him to read it.

“You have already read it,” Lóng Wei said.

“But you must read it,” Li Hua said, and looked at his hand, which had the scroll.

Lóng Wei lifted his hand and looked at the scroll. “You are right. I must see it. All these years, I received the scrolls from the King, which always had only one message,” he asserted, “the message about my punishment. It is strange that I am unable to process how to react.”

He returned his gaze to Li Hua, who clearly understood what he felt at that moment. She patted Lóng Wei’s arm and said, “I am proud of Prince Lóng Wei. He is indeed the Son of the Dragon. Nothing is impossible for him.”

She recalled her first meeting with him in the palace when he told her he was the Son of the Dragon, for whom nothing was impossible. That time, she thought that Lóng Wei liked to talk big and boast about himself.

How wrong she was!

He was not a boaster. He wanted people around him to acknowledge his presence too. He wanted them to see how he truly was! But hardly anyone could see that.

Lóng Wei opened the scroll while holding the scroll’s tol and bottom edge. He read the message from his father and saw the royal seal at the end of the message.

“This looks beautiful,” Lóng Wei said while beholding those words. He rolled it and looked into Li Hua’s eyes again.

“If you hadn’t come into my life, then,” he showed her the scroll, “I would not have received. You lit the hope in my hopeless life. You made me achieve this.” He could not help but give credit to Li Hua for saving him that day, for accepting him the way he was, and for putting her faith in him.

“I did not do anything,” Li Hua motioned with her hands in the air. “His Highness for no reason is giving me credits,” she added.

“Do you think I would have diverted my attention to the kingdom’s good if you hadn’t come into my life?” His question made her furrow her brows.

“I wanted to destroy this kingdom. Yuze’s prophecy wasn’t a boon for me. My mother hated me because of the prophecy. Despite that, I tried to prove to people I was the dragon’s son, thinking they would fear me. But everyone feared me because of my ways of treating people,” Lóng Wei stated.

Li Hua’s eyes were filled with tears. She opened her arms and tightly hugged him. “Now, they will know what Prince Lóng Wei truly is. He is the person of his words and actions. He is admirable in every aspect,” she proclaimed and gave him a smile. Lóng Wei planted a soft kiss on the top of her head.

“Now, we both will become strong and find out the true culprit who destroyed your family,” Lóng Wei said with a determined look.
