3Ry Cross Time (S1-S2)
BE DISCOVERED
Night approaching. In a main dining room, which is where all members of the royal family gather to hold a meal together already filled by all family members.
There was already Grand Emperor Bai Gikwang himself, his parents, his six younger siblings, as well as a son-in-law and a fiancee of the two princes there, as well as the last one there is Ahn Reychu right next to Great Emperor Bai.
Although his presence was not so expected, Reychu was thick enough to ignore it.
The dinner was solemn, but whether it was only Reychu who felt it or the solemnity of it was also felt by everyone. He always felt good to eat well. Especially free.
"The food that palace cooks are no less delicious than five-star hotel chefs!" reychu exclaimed inwardly as he continued to enjoy his meal.
Tak.
The sound of chopsticks being laid out sounded faint. The chopsticks belonged to Great Emperor Bai, who indicated that he had ended his eating activities, followed by the others until they all ended their meal. Eitsa... Something was missed.
Oh yeah, except that one... Reychu. Everything is over eating. While the girl looks still cool with her food that seems to have a large portion than others.
Keep in mind, it was thanks to Great Emperor Bai Gikwang who let Reychu eat a lot of food.
And that alone has made members of the royal family uncomfortable with Reychu with all his behavior. To a lesser extent, they considered the unnatural attitude of Great Emperor Bai to be influenced by Reychu.
Those gazes certainly did not escape the attention of Great Emperor Bai. But, the man chose silence considering he had to trust Reychu that his beloved lover was able to overcome it. Even so, Great Emperor Bai would still not let him escape the scrutiny of his sharp eyes.
The royal family may have blood ties to her, but that doesn't mean her family has the right to dispel her wishes. Whatever it is shape.
"There's something I want to say here." Great Emperor Bai's firm voice withdrew his family's attention except for Reychu who was still loyal to his food.
"Siang earlier, Zhen got an invitation from Young Master Shin which contained an invitation for his wedding to be held in the near future. Therefore, I want you to finish what needs to be done before we leave for the Zhilli Shin Residence." turned to his parents. "Emperor's father and Empress's mother can also be present if you want" he said.
"Great. Young Master Shin has found his life partner, because soon he will have a wedding. Too bad, I can't go with you. This mother of yours is not in a good state." said the Empress mother with such grace and authority.
It was clear that he was very applying his manners lessons. It's just that, actually the sentence has a speck of satire for the son that is very difficult to detect. But, luckily Reychu caught that subtle innuendo.
It made the crazy girl pull the tip of her lips in ridicule.
"His son also has an escort. Stay inaugurated. Blame you for demanding so much that Gikwang cannot marry me. Hehe.." her inner. It's really rude of this Reychu.
Don't copy it!
"I can't leave the palace. So, as an apology from me. I will prepare the precious herbs that I have saved to give to the master of alchemy Shin, and leave my apologies to him." said the Emperor's father.
Great Emperor Bai nodded his head accepting the statement.
"No problem. I'll pass it to Shin Mo Lan." spread his gaze to his brothers. "But, the others I hope have no reason not to go."
"Don't worry, Great Emperor's brother. My wife and I will come along." said Bai Min Wang, the third prince with a smile.
"really. I also have no reason not to leave. I will come to see Young Master Shin get married. I was curious about the woman who managed to attract the attention of Young Master Shin to marry him. Is that still the girl from yesterday or not?" bai Ning Wei exclaimed as she glanced at Reychu when she mentioned the girl Shin Mo Lan had introduced back then.
It turned out that he intended to provoke Reychu who was now smiling faintly with ridiculing eyes to reply to Bai Ning Wei's glance. The reason, that girl was the most blatantly opposed to her relationship with Great Emperor Bai.
He also seems to dislike his two best friends because of him. Reychu wanted to laugh when it was true.
This made Reychu curious about how the Bai family would react when it came to knowing her status as a widow of the Fire Nation Emperor.
Yes, until now there has been no mention of his status, but Reychu thinks soon everything will be the way he wants. That is, there is a big problem.
Strange indeed, because they want problems when everyone prefers to have a life far from problems and only filled with happiness.
But, this is Reychu not anyone else.
"I guess the woman was definitely him. Do you think it's that easy to find a new one when it's clear who's chosen by his heart? It's just that." - Bai Min Wang. It seems that young man likes to follow along.
"Huh. Who knows?! Maybe yesterday wasn't her soul mate." Bai Ning Wei remained firm in her stance, despite the fact that she had the prestige of acknowledging her brother's words.
"Easy-after. As long as the one he chose was not just any girl, Young Master Shin would definitely understand that better." this time it was Bai Lin Wang who had her answer.
As Young Master Shin's cousin, he won't comment on the cousin's choice as long as the choice is the right one.
"That's true too. It's just that, it never hurts to be more observant in choosing a life partner. Don't let the chosen partner just ruin everything" said Bai Fuwang, the second Prince who was very quiet was clearly insinuating the brother of Great Emperor Bai who was considered arbitrary to choose a girl as his life companion.
Great Emperor Bai was still silent even though he was starting to be unhappy with the direction of this conversation. Unlike Reychu who is now looking at it after the meal is finished.
It was nice to see the atmosphere get hot, because of him.
"Yes! I agree! My brothers should not carelessly choose when it comes to life partners... Or else everything would end up falling apart." the triumphant smile on hand Bai Ning Wei to Reychu who retorted with a smile of indifference.
Seeing that, success made Bai Ning Wei exasperated.
"You must hear it, my son." The short, meaningful sentence of the Great Emperor's father became the closing of this dinner.
Everyone was talking as if Reychu wasn't there.
Great Emperor Bai growled, yet only chose silence.
The night is getting late. Reychu who could not sleep chose to sit in the gazebo in the palace garden, quite far from the bedroom he occupied in this palace. But, how else if only in this park he could see the beautiful night view.
When asking about the rabbit demon who used to buy Reychu where? He was sleeping, of course.
Be, Reychu alone.
And when asked, where was Great Emperor Bai? The man was overtime in order to finish his work quickly to be able to prepare himself to go to meet the invitation.
In the silence of the night that accompanied his solitude, suddenly the sound of footsteps was heard approaching him which made him turn to the origin of the voice in order to see who was coming.
It turned out, Bai Ning Xia was coming.
Reychu tilted his head with a puzzled expression, then asked. "Hm. What's coming at me?"
Before replying, Bai Ning Xia sat herself down first in front of Reychu who did not change her relaxed sitting position. Absolutely devoid of ethics, Bai Ning Xia commented inwardly as soon as she saw it.
Sometimes it made her wonder inwardly while looking at Reychu's beautiful face. "What does the Great Emperor's brother like about this girl? He was terrible in fighting. He was strangely inclined to be crazy in his attitude and actions without knowing the time. He also looks like a problem-bearer. He has no ethics and manners that a woman should have... And most importantly, he is... The widow?! I still can't believe the information I got! Huh!"
Waw! Turns out he already knew. Reychu had just thought so and the answer had been answered within hours.
"You came here just to keep quiet while looking at me? Ow. I'm flattered that you made the object of your vision. I know how interesting I am. Haha.." - joke Reychu.
But, the one in the joke did not give any response. Fortunately, she Reychu will not have any shame or awkwardness after being treated so.
"What did you do to my Great Emperor brother, until he fell in love with you?" suddenly the question was thrown at Reychu who was looking at him with wide-open eyes which was definitely not out of surprise.
"You asked me about that?" jedanya was astonished. "You're wrong to ask me. You should have asked your brother that. Why did he fall for me?! Because if you ask me... I have no answer for that other than 'maybe'!" the answer of Reychu.
Bai Ning Xia was made to be silent over his answer.
Silence returned.
"You're a widow?" the shocking question surprised the madman.
Prok...
Prok...
Prok...
Cheers Reychu applauded. "Whoah! It's great! Finally, someone knows it too! I've been waiting for him for a long time." that's how Reychu's response now even came back to surprise Bai Ning Xia.
Never thought it would be that way. Shouldn't Reychu be afraid or guilty of deceiving the royal family, he thought.
"You're not afraid this is becoming a big deal that could get in the way of your relationship with my sister? It's fraud. You have deceived my family. You're not afraid of the punishment?" Bai Ning Xia herself did not know why she stated that, it seemed like the question was triggered by the response she received.
A response that was completely incompatible with what he thought and unreasonable.
"No. Why should I be afraid. I think you know enough about what kind of man your brother is. Do you think he'll choose to leave me? If my answer was, he wouldn't have taken that risk. And if for the punishment for cheating your family. My answer is simple... I'm not afraid of death!" Reychu threw out an unexpected answer until it again made Bai Ning Xia shut up.
That is, he clearly knew what kind of person his Great Emperor brother was and did not believe the figure favored by his brother.
Seeing her lover's sister silenced, Reychu knew that what she said was truth and courage. But, it seems that this girl in front of him still needs enlightenment because when viewed, Bai Ning Xia did not look to hate him or could be said that he was more to want the brother to get the best.
He can understand that enough. Sister's love for her brother, deserves a thumbs up.
"I understand what makes everyone see us as incompatibilities. But, in the end, the one who will be in a relationship is us. Your comments will not help much." pause Reychu who has entered into serious mode and it was a bit surprising Bai Ning Xia who did not expect that Reychu could behave like that.
"But what you need to know is... I love your brother. As long as he won't let me go, I won't let him go either. So, instead of thinking about how to separate us, maybe you should learn to see the positive side of me. Because after all, you only know I'm a troublemaker with all my madness." the explanation is still unfinished.
Bai Ning Xia silently listened well.
"And... Talk about widows. Yeah, that's my status. But, the fact behind my status is clearly different from the shadow you created in your mind. I am a widow, but I am a virgin. Wh why? Because before, I was betrothed to a man who did not love me even a little to touch me he was reluctant. Who survives such a relationship?! I obviously didn't want to waste my life with misfortune in the household, so her last option was divorce. It's clear up here?"
Reychu explained clearly without hindrance that made Bai Ning Xia understand also confused because Reychu explained it like it was not his life story. Had he not had that information before, he would have doubted the explanation of the girl who was already the lover of his Great Emperor elder brother. But, now he believes even though his attitude somewhat bothers him.
Reychu got up from his seat and left. However, before that he still wanted to say the closing sentence.
Staring at the girl's thinking expression, Reychu said which made Bai Ning Xia turn her head back to return her gaze.
"I'm not saying I'm a crazy girl. Not only is it crazy to kill, but it's also crazy to look for trouble. I like things that people generally don't like. Like, I like when a lot of people are hostile to me. I love that many people scold me. I love when someone dares to hurt me. I like that kind of thing. But, of course I am not careless in destroying people, if that person does not start first. You should be grateful, because what you're dealing with is me and not Ryura. You still remember the girl who has now assumed the status of the wife of Mr Ye, right?"
Instantly, Bai Ning Xia imagined Ryura's flat face in her eyes. Just like that, he couldn't resist the goosebumps.
"He may not be acting crazy, but he's far more horrible, vile, cruel than I am. He's seen enough of you, and he knows right away what no one else knows of you. As happened to me during my stay here." Bai Ning Xia's forehead frowned confusedly as well as curious at Reychu's long-winded explanation.
"What's that?"
"Someone wants to get in my way to have Gikwang. All the abuse I have received so far is also not separated from the actions of that person. Your hatred is also not separated from his plan. It's a reputation bust for me. Don't ask me who, because I don't know... But Ryura knows. Because, he reminded me before I came back here." His clothes. "That's why I ask you to be thankful that Ryura is not in my current position. But, do not rule out the possibility that he will come someday and help me eradicate the perpetrators who have dared to ruin my reputation."
"Credicate or not. That's your business." After saying that, Reychu left Bai Ning Xia alone in the gazebo with all his thoughts.
