"What kind of responsibility do you want? Marry you?" asked Anna to make Ri Won's face red, she never even thought about it.
During this time his mind was filled with physical and mental training and looking for the sense to give false information about the military power of the Qin Empire, not only once a month he sent a secret letter to Joseon for the sake of his mother, he said, but the contents of the letter? All just Ri Won. He was still vengeful to his father, there was not the slightest thought of helping the Joseon Dynasty even though it was his homeland.
"There's no way the Princess would want to be with a disabled man like me right? After all, if you were aiming for my status as the Prince of Joseon, it would seem unreliable because the small Kingdom could not be compared to the Qin Dynasty" Ri Won tilted her head smiling gently while looking at Anna.
"Then what about you? Do you have any ulterior motives? I am the eldest daughter of the Qin Empire, the greatest Empire in the entire Tiong plain, it would be very profitable if you managed to lure me in" Anna said with a grin, today she said a lot because Ri Won discussed an interesting topic, although he had insulted Ri Won many times, the man only replied with a smile on his face.
"Maybe I will be lucky if I get you, money? A fortune? Power? I will get all of that" said Ri Won, although that is not what Ri Won wanted, he did not want to avoid or refute, said Anna, it was indeed impossible for a man who wanted to marry Anna without seeing those three things.
"...." - ".Anna smiled in anguish.
"I should wear this mask" said Ri Won, he took the mask that covered the forehead to his left chin from the table and was about to put it up.
"You're handsome without a mask though" Anna exclaimed earnestly making Ri Won's heart beat fast, all this time she just felt curious about Anna's figure. Starting from the ugly rumors about him when he first came to the palace to his arrogant nature. The longer he spent with her the more he felt that Anna was actually a good person but did not understand how to show it.
"Gatff!!"
"I wouldn't be disappointed if you said I was ugly"
******
"My respect to the previous Emperor." said Ri Won, he looked down respectfully, as he raised his head a sinister face greeted him.
*Hiyy....! Did I offend him? - inner Ri Won, he bowed his head again when he knew Qin Xuan's sinister face.
"Build Prince. It's not good for a Crown Prince of Joseon to bow to me for too long" Qin Xuan said, he patted the short-legged table in front of him.
"Sit Prince!" qin Xuan said, the clap of the table was so loud that Ri Won was startled, his heart almost dislodged because of it.
"I heard you just met Princess Yiwei?" qin Xuan asked impassively, he poured Ri Won a cup of tea, obviously this deadly aura came from a man trying to get close to his daughter.
"Yes Your Majesty. I spoke a few words with the Princess.." replied Ri Won her face beaming in series, she became embarrassed herself when she remembered Anna's sweet words.
"How many words did he get out of his beautiful mouth?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Did he hit you?"
"Is he smiling at you?"
"What... What's... What's..." Ri Won only heard the word 'what' her head became dizzy as Qin Xuan asked a lot of questions.
"So this is what other people feel when I talk a lot" he muttered so he remembered the words of others about him who likes to talk.
Plakk
Qin Xuan hit the table hard as Ri Won was speechless as he questioned her.
Ughhh
"What's your answer!"
"We're just talking about my injuries, I'm wearing a mask because of burns from a fire a few years ago in Joseon"
"I didn't expect the Princess to be interested"
"Huhhhh?! I see.." Qin Xuan said clearly on his face written in disbelief, what a caring father with his daughter.
"c .iya... Your Highness.." replied Ri Won interrogated like this to make him tense.
"Aren't you feeling a little hurt? Brought here as a prisoner of war?" qin Xuan asked, he was a little serious this time, the face of Ri Won who had been smiling for a long time disappeared, again the glint of his past appeared to make him clench his hands, his eyes enlarged to hold back anger.
"Your face says no. I'm also sure you're also a grudge against the Qin Empire" again Qin Xuan said evoking memories of the past. He remembers how he used to be treated like an animal. It was Qin Xuan's reign, the royal rules were made by the Queen Mother and internal matters shook the Qin Empire, so he paid little attention to this Prince of Joseon.
"Your revenge doesn't hurt..."
"If I were you maybe I'd feel that vengeance would even take revenge now"
"So if one day you do anything to the Qin Empire I won't punish you..."
"Because all this is my fault for not taking her seriously" Qin Xuan bowed her head, she apologized officially to Ri Won while Ri Won, she just kept silent she couldn't say a word. He had indeed made plans for revenge against the Qin Empire and Joseon but there were still many dilemmas in his heart.
"But don't touch my daughter! Yiwei was innocent in this matter"just now that she wanted to touch Qin Xuan's hand but stopped when Qin Xuan mentioned Anna's name now she understood why Qin Xuan had asked her to speak. The previous emperor was afraid that he would hurt Anna for revenge.
"You don't have to worry..."
"I wouldn't do that, if it was about revenge..."
"Eitherway? The anger inside me long ago faded away because of your daughter" Ri Won exclaimed her face back beaming the series while Qin Xuan, her face turned again into fierce.
"The Qin Empire is home to only, since to the leadership of your son, Emperor Qin Yizhan, the captives and commoners get a proper education. Here I do not have any identity but seeing the children of servant and slave children get an education that evenly makes my heart warm"
"I'm proud of him too! Later if you become Emperor in Joseon! Take my son for example" Qin Xuan said he was so proud that Ri Won could see the light behind Qin Xuan.
*It seems like he is the type of father who is very affectionate with his inner-child Ri Won, seeing Qin Xuan who is very proud of his son makes him enjoy this conversation he also feels that Qin Xuan is his own father.
"Yes father" Ri Won said accidentally.
"Who is your father" Qin Xuan said furrowing his brows.
"Hahaha" Ri Won's laughter saw Ri Won laughing, making the previous Emperor laugh.
"It's very sad for them" whispered Liu Wen, he held a lot of cakes in his hand.
"That man was yesterday" said Keyzee, he also ate the cake in his mother's hands.
"Who? She?" asked Liu Wen, the masked man? He never saw her.
"The head of the bodyguard Ri Won" Anna said from behind making both the mother and the child shocked.
"Ashsaichhhh!! Anna.." whispered Liu Wen, his heart was about to be dislodged because of it. He went to see his father and Ri Won.
"Eh where the boy is going" Liu Wen murmured, he and Keyzee did not follow him because they only wanted to be loyal spectators behind the stone.
"Sincerely my father.." exclaimed Anna, he bowed before Qin Xuan.
"Wake up baby.What's up" asked Qin Xuan he stared warmly at his daughter.
"Let me get acquainted with some noble youths." pinta Anna made the cool Qin Xuan drink tea spitting it out again.
"Ohuk uhuk....!"
"Un...what's Yiwei for! Is this not enough of your papi?!" regek Qin Xuan, he is old but his behavior is like a 5-year-old boy.
"Your fire is a disgrace" Liu Wen blasphemed.
"That shameful man is your husband mami" muttered Keyzee, he sniffed.
"My age is old enough, bad rumors about me have been many, it seems I have to get married quickly"
"Hey!! What you did to my daughter"
"Did you make it all out of your mind until you got married now!" qin Xuan whispered, he hugged Ri Won's neck firmly. Ri Won's face was pale not because of Qin Xuan but because of the word Anna suddenly wanted to get married.
