Soul Karmas (BL)

Chapter 16: I Decided... In This Life You'r Mine.

"... Sir... will this really work...?"

Turning around, Snow glance at the nervous, agitated but extremely joyful middle age man wearing a familiar luxurious red robe before him.

"Just follow what I said and everything will be alright."

"Yes... Yes! I know!... Hahah... I can't believe that this is really happening!"

The man nod his head again and again, brown eyes flashing with greed and overwhelming obsession before walking to the center in the room and standing still.

Snow amber eyes just glance one last time at the middle age man before turning to the other side which was currently covered with mystic runes that is only can be seen by his own and no one else, his entire figure completely disappearing in the room after walking pass the line.

He was still standing in the corner of the room, but no one else but him can see and hear him.

Snow has already cover the empty room that the two of them resides with runes, no sounds and noises will get out of the room no matter how loud the people inside get, looking entirely normal from the people eyes outside.

Hearing the sound of footsteps walking on their way, Snow amber eyes flash while the other middle age man in the room couldn't help as his body shudder in excitement.

"I already fulfilled what I promise, If the plan fail at this time then it will all be your fault understand."

Snow remind the man as he allowed a sound to emit from his place in order for the middle age man to hear him, and it work as it cause the man to take a deep breath in order to calm himself up.

"I know, I know. I can manage myself, I wanted this my entire life. I have already given most of what I have just for this exchange, so there is no way I am letting it fail just because I can't restrained myself for a seconds."

Snow eyebrow raise up, though he wasn't entirely surprise by the man words since this man might look like an average person on his appearance but there is no way that this man is simple.

Snow pink lip couldn't help but curve up, this man is after all the wealthiest person in the Rong Dynasty.

Such a man cannot be just a simple person.

Such a man cannot also be easily trade and accept a proposal that he was in a rather disadvantage situation.

If Snow doesn't know what the man was obsessed the most, and that he will definitely do everything and anything in order to fulfill it, then taking the man half of his property wouldn't be that easy.

Yes Snow will have the man entire half of his wealth after tonight and he was able to get just by fulfilling one the man deepest wish.

And as soon as a familiar figure of a very beautiful and mesmerizing figure walk inside the room, Snow calm amber eyes just indifferent glance at Xiao Feiyu figure before calmly looking away as the man in familiar red robe walk toward the person who just walk in.

At the moment, in Xiao Feiyu eyes, the middle age image is currently being replace by the beautiful and enchanting figure of the red robe man that Snow has seen the other night.

God Blessing is great to have, but sometimes it could also be use in a rather unfortunate way for the person carrying the blessing by the other people if they use it the right way.

And Snow was able to use it to help his plan at the moment, and that was the obsession of the middle age man toward Xiao Feiyu charm skills. The man has always been one of Feiyu admirer, it was just too bad that he wasn't handsome and young enough for Feiyu to be notice, but it was still one of the greatest helper that Feiyu has, or rather the Wang family has during the fight with the Royal family.

Not only was the man the wealthiest in the Dynasty, he also has the connection to other important people around the Kingdom.

And as the sound of the confuse but seductive voice of Feiyu resound on Snow ear while at the same time hearing the rather hard breath of the excited man, Snow glance at the entangle figure in the center of the room that was slowly walking, stumbling, toward the large bed in the room before shutting off the sound that reach his ears, not wanting to hear the indecent sound any longer while lowering his head to focus more on the memorials on his hand since he rather handle the important matter that his nephew was unable to do by himself than watch the live bed scene before his very eyes.

Maybe if it was the real Hong and Feiyu, Snow might watch the scene because of interest and the two people are still a feast on his eyes but watching an average middle age man with the beautiful Feiyu was a rather spicy eyes on Snow.

And as he saw the golden scroll laying on the ground near him, Snow lip curve up slightly as dark emotion swirl on his amber eyes.

It was the contract between the two of them, it was the safest thing to do as it was something irreparable, it was like the vow he made during his scene with Shao Feng, anything written on it are all true and cannot be fake, specially cannot be force for other to make.

As for the not making a move and harming against each other that was written on the contract? Well there is also a loophole in anything.

Snow doesn't have to do anything toward the man, as the God Blessing that Xiao Feiyu has to carry will do the work for him.

Although, Xiao Feiyu might be ignorant at the current situation at the moment, but the middle age man is still carrying a negative intention toward Xiao Feiyu, so the misfortune befalling that goes against Feiyu will affect the man.

Snow wouldn't forget all the people that cause the young Emperor and the real Xen death no matter what.

As for himself? Well, Snow will just have to wait, either the world rule will shield him with the other god blessing that the man has or he will be affected but albeit slightly since he doesn't really have any negative intention with the man as Snow was just doing his mission, and wasn't really against him or even hated the man.

Besides, Snow would have made Feiyu experience a more rather distressing event if he wanted to, rather than shielding the fact that the person he was currently being intimate with are not the real person that he was currently seeing with his own eyes.

Since the man was ignorant, Snow decided to at least give the man the blessing of being ignorant for now but he wouldn't be able to escape Snow grasp as Feiyu was still mostly the sole reason why the other future has happen.

So Snow just focus in the more important matter at hand than the one currently happening before him.

As the morning light in the room descend, Snow slowly close the scroll on his hand as he stood up and walking past the rune that has been shielding him for the rest of the night, long dark sleeves dusting his clothes as calm amber eyes looking at the still exhausted figure before him that still looming at the now unconscious figure of the supposed protagonist.

"Our Deal is Done." emotionless voice resound causing the man to take away his attention at the person under him, even though the man was extremely tired but he still couldn't help but hide the excitement still shining on his eyes.

Such obsession, Snow couldn't help but sigh at the man situation as this also was the affect of the God Blessing that Feiyu carry, a blessing can be use in a rather unfortunate thing, specially when it comes from a God.

No one can know if its really for the best for the person to have since it can also cause misfortune not only to the people around them but also toward themselves.

"... I... got... it..." the man pants tiredly, eyes still having the deep regrets as he finally seemed to figure out that it was already the start of the day.

"I give you the rest to handle." Snow glance at the man one last time, amber eyes couldn't help but see some sort of aura that started to enclose on the middle age man body before turning around and leaving the place.

Snow was sure that it will be the last time that he will be seeing the man for the last time, and as a few days later that he receive the rather unfortunate news that happen to the wealthiest man in the Dynasty, as the man apparently died miserably and shamelessly during one of his night with one of his newly partner.

Smiling, Snow waved his hand in the air, "Do as I planned before." before returning his attention at the current invitation of the 75th birthday of the respected elderly of one of the important family in the Rong Dynasty.

There is no way that Snow will be ignoring the other half of the man wealth, rather than let the other people get it, specially his enemies, Snow will take it for himself.

.

.

"Here, don't take this out alright? Always wear it and never remove it as this will always protect you."

The sound of the melodious voice sounded as a person wearing a luxurious black robe, black ink hair loosen as it sway slightly in the air while wearing a jade crown on his head bend a little as amber eyes soften tenderly as he place a black necklace with blue amulet on a much younger boy before him that was currently pouting childishly.

Gone was the majestic young Emperor that the courtiers has been seeing the past few days on the court, as the young boy red eyes pitifully stare at the beautiful and charming youth before him.

"Imperial Uncle, why are you not coming with me?"

Snow smiled slightly, ignoring how the young Emperor was acting as a child, although he wanted the young boy to be befitting as an Emperor But Snow won't take away the chance for him to act like his age should be before him.

Nie might be the Young Emperor, but Snow is also the current family that Nie has and the only person that really treat him sincerely, unlike the Queen Mother that was against them and wanted their lives.

It was only two of them fighting against the enemies at the moment after all.

"There is something important I have to handle first alright? Besides, the Emperor is already gracing them his presence, what's more they can asked for?"

Nie just pout for a few seconds, before reaching out his hand to grasp the sleeves of his Imperial Uncle, red eyes flashing with understanding as he worriedly look at the person before him.

"Take care Imperial Uncle."

Snow eyes soften, raising his hand, touching the young boy head gently.

"Little Nie... take care of yourself also alright?"

The young boy nodded his head, red eyes hardening as he worriedly look at his Imperial Uncle before turning around and walking away in order to prepare himself from appearing at the 75th birthday of the elderly in Jun Family, because something and anything can happen as he grasp the protective amulet that he was currently wearing on his neck.

Snow amber eyes glinting coldly as he watched the disappearing figure of the Young Emperor before him.

Now then, everything are in place, then let it all begin.

.

.

"Your Majesty, this humble official is honored for appearing on this day special occasion."

An older man bowed his head toward the Young Emperor currently sitting at the highest chair of the authority, as the guest of honor of today.

"The Jun Family has been protecting the Rong Dynasty for Generations and have always been serving the Royal family dedicatedly, we appreciate your loyalty and warmth this Majesty heart. We could not just ignored you." a young sound filled with nothing but majesty echoed out around the currently joyful occasion around.

The elderly man eyes filled with nothing but honored as he looked at the currently Young Emperor before him, specially when a figure of someone that has long past gone flash before his eyes, overlapping the one currently before him.

"This humble official is honored." Bowing his head one more time in respect toward the Young Emperor before another official suddenly wonder about the whereabout of the Regent King missing appearance causing the people around to quiet down.

Nie red eyes flash, as he turned to stare at the handsome middle age man that suddenly appeared before them, it was the Right Minister and the cause of the death of the Imperial Crown Prince, his Imperial Prince Father and Imperial Princess Mother, dark emotion brimming inside him, but knowing that there is nothing he could do at the moment, Nie could only hide it deep within him.

The Emperor youthful face remain impassive, not showing even a tiny bit emotion to leak inside him as he continue to sit still while the eyes of everyone was on his figure.

Patient, always have to be patient, that is what his Imperial Uncle has thought him, there is always time for everything, he will sooner get his revenge against what they have done with their life's but it was not the right time.

"Imperial Uncle feel sad being unable to come for today, but since We are here, Imperial Uncle feel reassure, and knowing that Elder Wei could understand why Imperial Uncle couldn't come."

Jun Wei, eyes flash before speaking, "Your Majesty we already feel nothing but great honored for gracing us of your presence for tonight. The Regent King are also busy with the important matter regarding the people in the Dynasty, how could we not understand? We are grateful to have a very talented Regent King that has a heart for the people in the Dynasty."

Wang Lau just smiled and bow his head in acceptance before turning his attention toward the elderly man.

Jun Family, as long as this old man is still alive in the family, Wang Lau couldn't be at peace to do what he really wanted to do since this elder man is the most loyal and most supporter of the Regent King and the Young Emperor.

He tried to shake the old man loyalty toward the Royal family, but Jun Wei was the definition of a person loyal to the end.

Secretly gritting his teeth before smiling at the old man, "Jun Wei, I heard that there is one more joyful news aside from your wife 75th birthday, there was some rumors running around about having finally finding the First Son of your second Son, was it true?"

Jun Wei eyes light up ignoring the man, knowing that he always got something indigenous up his sleeve but today was also an important day to finally introduce his missing grandson that has been gone for years, "Yes, Yes! Your Majesty, let me introduce to you my eldest Grandson! After so many years we finally found him. Come and introduce yourself to his Majesty!"

Then a tall and slender figure appeared on the entrance as he walked inside the place, it was a handsome young man, currently wearing a luxurious white robe with green lining along with intricate bamboo design on it, gracefully walking toward the elder man side, every eyes seemed to follow the man as he move, the young man deep black eyes remaining calm despite how he was surrounded with the most important figures currently around, he just walk calmly while wearing a gentle smile on his handsome face.

A scholarly figure of someone harmless with gentleman demeanor with a clean and comfortable aura around him, looking entirely like a jade son.

"Your Majesty, this is my missing Grandson named Jun Chen. Come child, greet his Majesty." a smile was currently on Jun Wei face as he introduce this grandson of his toward the Young Emperor, eyes showing nothing but approval and tender feeling, even though he just met the young man in a few days, he couldn't help but get a good favorable impression toward this grandson of his, enough that he like Jun Chen more than his other grandchildren.

"Greeting Your Majesty, this humble person is called Jun Chen." Jun Chen bow his head respectfully as he greet the Young Emperor with respect and with a simple introduction, no flattery and fear of his authority showing on his face.

Nie red eyes, stare at the person before him for a few seconds, eyes unreadable, before nodding his head and giving his heartfelt congratulation toward the Jun Family for finding their missing family for years now.

Another Variable appearing before them, Nie wonder what role this man will have who currently has the appearance of a simple and harmless person, specially in the ongoing fighting. Nie has grown weary of the people around them, always betraying, always having motivation and lack of loyalty toward their Royal Family, as only few people could be trusted.

And as Nie let out a deep weary sigh on his mind, even he could tell that the only thing that was keeping him sane from the years of hardship was the support and existence of his Imperial Uncle.

Deep inside him, he was afraid of finally breaking to the point of no return and doing drastic thing that will affect his people.

Nie love the Dynasty he ruled and the people living within it but even he could tell that there will be a time that he could not stop himself from breaking up if this keeps going on.

So Nie just watched as the people around them have fun and relax, the Jun and Wang speaking with each other while the younger Jun seemed to speak gently with a smile on his face from time to time when Wang Lau trying and failing to get the man to show a mistake to fault him for.

At least, Nie could tell that the young man isn't harmless as he seemed to be showing and as part of Jun family he could give him a bit of trust specially, with a bit of gloating at the failing Wang Lau, he kind of like the young man a little bit just from it.

As time goes by, thinking a bit more about what the current situation of the ongoing fighting, there was a bright flash, then suddenly a sword covered with mystic rune was currently thrown toward him from the supposedly dancing people in the center of the hall with the greatest speed while the people around them was stunned from the sudden event happening.

Everyone was surprise about the sudden attack, they knew that the Jun family should be a well protected place, specially when they currently have the Young Emperor with them, as someone that has been well known to be the most loyal courtiers of the noble Family toward the Royal Family, any kind of danger shouldn't be appearing on their sight, specially when the Young Emperor is attending the joyous event because of them.

Rong Nie, just feel numb and calm at the approaching danger toward him since he was used to it already, people trying to kill his Imperial Uncle and him, there was nothing new, it was just as the people started screaming around them as soon as it clicked in their mind that there is assassination currently happening at supposedly a joyful occasion, he found himself being pulled to the side and away from the flying sword covered with mystic rune before he could even activate the amulet that his Imperial Uncle has given him, trusting that it will be able to protect himself, as a white robe with green lining appeared on his vision.

"Assassin! Everyone Protect yourself!"

"Protect the Emperor!"

Nie just raised his head, red eyes staring at the still smiling harmlessly man before him, though this man was mysterious and knowing that he could not easily trust him, even he could tell that Jun Chen doesn't have any hostile emotion toward him.

At least that was something that he could trust, distinctly able to tell people who just wanted something from him, seemed like something their family ability has that carries in the Royal bloodline, although it seemed that only Nie Imperial Uncle and him currently has it, as it been skip from the other Generations in the Royal Family and from the dead Imperial Uncle of Crown Prince and his Imperial Prince Father, they unfortunately didn't have it.

And from what Nie felt from this man was that Jun Chen just saved him because he feel like it.

Yes, Jun Chen has saved the Emperor because he just felt like it, not because of other hidden motivation, it was just something he wanted to do.

And Rong Nie could accept that, as long as it was not something evil, besides this was not the time to be thinking a thing as his people are dying around him, specially when in the corner of his eyes he saw that most of the assassin was currently seemed to targeting the people on his side, even though it doesn't look like it but he could tell from his instinct.

"Wang Lau!" , Rong Nie couldn't help but gritted his teeth, red eyes darkening dangerously specially when he find the man himself seemingly went to help his son, Wang Lou, who was currently protecting his own wife and son that was hiding behind him, while forgetting the Emperor who has his life currently in danger.

Which an action that he couldn't fault at the moment, Nie couldn't help but felt so weak and dreary from it all.

He could taste the blood on his mouth as he bit his tongue, Jun Wei, Jun Chen and him was currently surrounded with the enemies, having the mystic arts users among itself in order just to deal himself.

Jun Chen, or specially Li Chen couldn't help but curiously stare at this definitely black dumpling of an Emperor while ignoring the chaos around them, only thinking how troublesome it was for a little bit, as he tried to protect the Young Emperor not only because he was interesting, but it wouldn't do for his supposed family if something bad happen to him at the moment, while in the corner of his eyes, he could see the slight surprise of another younger man, this body half brother, as his eyes seemingly widening with shock as he look at him in disbelief.

A little curve of his lip rose up, well now someone seemed to be surprise about him being able to fight, he never really told them that he was also able to use internal energy, huh?

Well, he only told the old man who was currently also protecting the Black Young Emperor around him and not everyone else, even this body biological father, Li Chen could tell who has the power in the family.

Though, he frowned when a mystic art spell was suddenly cast and a shaping dark mist wrapped around the old man and him, making them unable to move, while another mist with a darker color on it, seemingly turning solid with a rather sharp point as it goes straight to the young Emperor.

"Your Majesty!" Jun Wei shout worriedly in panic as he struggle frantically and seemingly able to loosen the thing that binding them, which was suspicious itself, as he arrive just in time to save the Emperor, trying to use his own body to block the attack itself.

Before Li Chen tried to decide if he should use his element power to save the two of them since from the look of it his grandfather will surely die receiving the attack while the Young Emperor will be severely injured, he couldn't help but turned around and stare toward the mystic caster as a familiar aura suddenly appeared on his senses while not missing on the way a transparent barrier suddenly enclosed the body of Jun Wei and the Young Emperor blocking the attack completely and keeping them safe.

"... Die..." an emotionless voice silently said before a sword was stab through the mystic art caster heart from the back, seemingly easily bypassing the barrier that the person has set up, it was powerful enough that has given the people trying to protect them trouble on getting rid of the mystic art user since another user was the only one that can dispel it the fastest way, there was a reason why mystic art user are rare, specially someone who could use a spell in an attack form.

Then the figure that appeared in the back mystic art caster, pull the sword on his hand, before sidestepping and horizontally slashing at the three people in a single swing that suddenly surround him, thoroughly slashing them in half from their waist as blood splatter around with the sound of their severed bodies touching the ground, Li Chen was unable to remove his eyes at the figure that has just appeared even when the person was slaughtering the attackers in a rather bloody and ruthless way.

Rather it cause him more enthralled and fascination than ever as the sound of his calm heart, started beating faster again in a rather familiar way, specially when emotionless amber eyes lock with his own black eyes, Li Chen open his mouth, before the emotionless amber eyes flash with something explainable before glancing away, somehow the reaction causing Li Chen to close his mouth tight.

He could only silently watched as the young man he has been crazily wanting to see, turned his attention toward the youngest figure among them, it was the young Emperor who spoke toward him with a relief voice.

"Imperial Uncle."

Oh, that was what Li Chen could only think a bit in a daze, as he watch dumbly, as his little Xen, which seemed to be not a little Xen like he thought so, walked toward them as he gracefully raise his left hand which started containing mystic aura as he grab the seemingly still working rune spell despite how the caster seemed to have been dead, ripping it apart with force as the rune spell on it deemed down and finally releasing the three of them.

Another reason why the mystic art caster are so rare.

Li Chen wanted to walk and speak to little Xen, but he knows that there are some explaining he has to do, specially now that he knows that his little Xen, is currently the Regent King as he watched the Young Emperor walked to his supposedly Imperial Uncle with nothing but relief and dependence expression on his young face.

His lip twitch, somehow everything became more complicated again, he just hope that they won't be having the trust issue after this.

Li Chen was just thankful enough that he has moved and saved the Young Emperor, at least that count right?

Snow couldn't help but sigh in relief after checking any injury that his nephew might have gotten during the attack, even though he knows that the Young Emperor will be safe, specially knowing the attack today, Snow still couldn't help but check him for any injuries that he might received.

Rong Nie might be part of his mission but Snow has already decided that he was also his nephew, the only family he could accept in this life of his, specially when he will remain as Xen after the mission was finish.

Before a second later, Snow couldn't help but glance one more time at the figure that was slightly distance away from them, seeing at the slightly daze Li Chen... no Jun Chen, Snow already knows most about the man himself, so he wasn't surprise about Li Chen current identity, it was just surprising that he was currently in the Jun Family during this time and with the event happening.

Because when Li Chen became Jun Chen, the most powerful Jun Family has already long disappeared.

And today was the day when the Jun family was broken within, losing the elder man Jun Wei was like loosing the pillar of the family and has soon became an easy pick to Wang Lau, specially when this has causes the lost of the full trust of the Young Emperor.

Besides as he look at the safe Emperor with that red eyes full with dependence and hope on his young face, amber eyes darkened considerably.

Today was the day that has cause the Young Emperor to truly become known as the Mad Emperor, after the death of the Regent King, there was still a chance that he might have been able to survive longer and won the fight but when even Jun Wei was dead then it was the time that Rong Nie has finally descend to madness.

The Jun Family has always been loyal toward the Royal family, a real patriot Clan, specially when Jun Wei the person who was in real power and not his own eldest son who was the current patriarch that is the pillar of the Jun Family and has made a great vow on their Grandfather reign, which only pass down in their family, even the Queen Mother never knows about it, so Wang Lau definitely doesn't have any clue on why the Jun family couldn't be swayed.

As long as Jun Wei was alive, no matter what kind of scheme and indigenous plan that Wang Lau has, he wouldn't be able to make the Royal family to be suspicious of the Jun Family.

They are the very best shield against Wang Lau that was currently in more power in the Court at the moment as the Jun Family has power in both in civil and military way while having sldo the person who has made a great vow to protect and will always be the greatest Allies of the Royal Family, the one that carry the bloodline of the Rong Family to any enemies that goes against them.

Thus, even Snow will be unable to truly give any suspicious against the Jun Family, vowing in this world are very important that could not be ignored, although as Snow glance toward the other Jun family member, that vow can only be trusted to Jun Wei that has the power on his hand and not entirely the people in the Jun Family.

Snow nod his head toward the elderly man who came within their space in order to continue to protect them, before turning to the Young Emperor and asking him to stay by his side, only for the Young Emperor to get a bit closer to his Imperial Uncle while grasping the corner of his Robe, red eyes full of dependence.

Emotionless Amber eyes turning softly as he look at his Nephew, "Your Majesty, everything will be alright. I will not let everything happen to you."

"Um... We believe in you." young voice softly said with sincerity and red eyes full of trust causing nothing but deep pain on his chest, knowing that it was the current Xen feeling of dying and failing the trust of the Young Emperor that he has on him.

Sorry... Sorrry... Little Nie... Im so sorry...

Li Chen who has been watching on little Xen in a safe distance away, couldn't help but take a step forward, his hand reaching out and holding the soft but cold small hand of the Regent King which has cause Jun Wei and the Young Emperor to widened their eyes, specially Jun Wei who couldn't help but open his mouth to shout at his grandson offensive move only for it to remain open as he watched as the usually emotionless, ruthless and cruel Regent King only to raised his head up and showed a bit smile toward his grandson a moment later.

The Regent King never even mentioning about Jun Wei grandson rude behavior on him while also letting Jun Chen to keep a hold of his hand, it was like a silent approval about his grandson behavior.

And Jun Wei was speechless, before the words of reason about why his grandson has appeared in the City of Rong Dynasty flash on his mind, causing nothing but feeling of disbelief as Jun Wei stare at the currently two person before him, that seemed to be familiar with each other.

Jun Wei couldn't help but curse at his grandson for giving the old man almost an heart attack, while deeply thinking about how amazing his grandson is.

And while in the distance, Wang Lou who finally have the time to glance at the direction of the Young Emperor, specially after hearing about the Regent King appearing from the other people voices saw the scene before him, green eyes couldn't help but darkened, emotion brimming with nothing but anger, specially when Rong Xen just let the guy keep holding his hand while showing a smile toward that young man.

That was his, even if their engagement was cancelled and he married someone else, Rong Xen was his and no one can take him away.

Wang Lou won't allow it while Wang Lau who saw the scene, blue eyes couldn't but flash by before a very complicated expression has shown on his face, he completely know what the grandson of the Jun family expression is currently wearing as he stare at the Regent King.

It a reminiscent on how he has always look at the Queen Mother when he was still young and naive which he has been hiding after she became a Queen of the Rong Dynasty.

While in another side, as a young lady was being protected by her older cousin, the beautiful face couldn't help but pale at the sight of the young man in white robe taking a hold of the emotionless Regent King hand, specially when the always cold face of the Regent King has showed a smile back.

Hong Tan couldn't help but flash back of the image of the time when they first met the young man,

"You see... I'm looking for someone."

"Um...That person just left you see... and I can't just leave that person alone. Always making me worry."

The handsome face of the young man, dark ink eyes smiling with tenderness while his magnetic voice lowering with gentleness as he spoke.

She has seen the hint before but deep down she entirely ignored it, but the scene before her couldn't help but let her remind that the young man that she has taken a liking into, has someone else on his heart, biting on her lip, eyes reddening with nothing but stubbornness as it flash with resistance.

The older cousin that has been protecting the young lady, couldn't help but sigh deeply as he too took the scene with his own eyes, and knowing how his cousin has taken a liking to the young man that they have met during their travel back to the Capital, dark emotion brimming inside him before lowing his head in order to hide his eyes from being seen.

He just hope his cousin will back down but base from what he know from growing up with her, there was just no way that Hong Tan will just give up, that was just not her personality.

Feeling the hand of the man, surrounding his own small hand, Snow smiled.

Don't worry I won't lost, I'll protect the Young Emperor on your place and will let the Rong Dynasty prosper during his reign.

Besides, as Snow ignored the eyes of the other people looking at them, as he also grip the hand that is currently holding his, amber eyes couldn't help but take a glimpse of the delight and joyful emotion on the young man dark eyes from just holding his hand back.

I am not alone in this fight, I have someone with me.

The moment that Li Chen has allowed him to take hold of his life during the time when Snow was awakening his internal energy, At least Snow has already given his trust toward this person.

Besides, he doesn't really have the time and doesn't feel like making a play of misunderstanding their trust and the man loyalty and motives from appearing as Jun Wei at the moment.

Snow could have done that but he just won't, Snow just doesn't see any reason on doing it aside from abusing the man feeling toward him.

"Little Xen... Sorry... but I have to come.." the young man voice was so low, aside from Snow, Jun Wei and the Young Emperor was only the person that could hear the words they are speaking.

Snow lip in a thin line, amber eyes still emotionless as they stare at the man dark eyes, but only the tightening grip on his hand was telling Li Chen at the real emotion of the person before him, dark ink eyes softening as he continue to speak, not being bothered at the unresponsive response of the person before him, as the words little Xen spoke on his memories echoing out when he left him.

.... I don't want to leave...

"Since you have to leave... then I'll just have to come to your side."

... I am... just... so... very tired... Li... Chen...

"Since your tired... I'll take care of everything."

... You'll die... I don't want you to die...

"Little Xen... I won't die."

... You'll leave me... and it all because of me....

"I'll stay by your side.... because I wanted to and it will be no one fault."

... so I have to go away... you'll be safe...

"So... stay with me little Xen... I can protect myself... and I'll protect everyone you hold dear."

... You'll live...

Li Chen bending down a bit before placing a gentle and soft kiss on the forehead of the beautiful and charming young boy before him as Li Chen smile tenderly with affectionate eyes at the widening amber eyes of the Regent King.

"Little Xen... the moment I met you... was the day I have known that I wanted nothing more to live together with you. Every day, my life has been so monotonous and boring, but when I first saw you was the day that everything all change... for the first time in my life, I felt so alive little Xen... and you were the one who made me so happy... So... please allow me to stay with you...?"

Amber eyes staring at the handsome face of the young man before him, staring at the real sincerity glimmering on his dark eyes, all true and open wide just for him to see, Snow heart couldn't help but move as the usually calm heart, beat faster than ever from the man action toward him.

All plan and other test in his mind was blown away, Snow eyes lowered down as he silently think, before answering with simple but soft, "Okay."

Then... in this life... Li Chen your mine...
