RULER OF THE FOREST OF HELL
Part 48's
The next day, Prince Zhu Kai immediately went to the Xuan Empire to meet his little girl, his best friend and first love.
He rode his dark horse gallantly, at his waist tucked a sword.
Accompanied by his confidant, Zhu Kai mounted his horse very fast, his longing for Sun Yi making him seem to forget that a few months ago he had proposed to Feng May.
Although their engagement had not yet been formalized, Zhu Kai had at least received the blessing of Queen Lin Xia.
Yet his struggle to get Feng May was as if he had forgotten about it.
For Zhu Kai now that Sun Yi's return was his greatest happiness, with a face full of smiles and a gaze full of hope, he immediately wanted to meet his childhood sweetheart.
The journey from Zhu empire to Xuan empire was 7 days by horseback or 14 days by carriage, as if tirelessly, Zhu Kai continued to race his horse nonstop.
The thought of meeting her adored girl was much greater than her current exhaustion.
Zhu Kai is lulled into the charms of his past love without re-investigating the reason for the girl's disappearance.
7 days later Zhu Kai arrived at the imperial gate of Xuan, after paying the entrance fee, he immediately spurred his horse towards an inn.
He would clean himself and change his clothes there, wanting to look charming in front of his girl.
At the Sun family's current residence, Sun Yi was chatting with his parents, he did not want to give up the opportunity to return to Zhu Kai.
So excitedly, he invited his entire family to move from the Xuan Empire to the Zhu Empire, for their safety.
Sun Yi's decision was of course welcomed very happily by his parents, they also wanted to raise the degree of his family by making Sun Yi as imperial consort Zhu.
A bodyguard suddenly came face to face and relayed the news they were waiting for day and night, making their smiles even more floundering.
"Big master.. Big master.." a bodyguard ran towards the family hall
"What's wrong?" noble Sun asked in astonishment at his bodyguards.
"Prince Zhu Kai is in front of the gate of the residence, he wants to meet Sun's concubine" said the bodyguard who was directly in the hafihi of his master's sharp plot.
"Call my daughter with the young Miss, not the concubine. Remember that! If you say the wrong thing again, I don't hesitate to kill you and your entire family" huffed the noble Sun while issuing threats to make the bodyguard break out in cold sweat.
"Forgive the servant of the great lord, I will not repeat the fault of the servant again" said the guard, prostrating and banging his head against the floor.
"Remind all the guards and also the servants in this residence so that no one speaks wrong again" said the Sun noble.
"Well big master, I will tell them all" said the guard in a trembling voice.
"Good, if you still love your life, follow all my orders" said the Sun noble
"Let's welcome the arrival of our future daughter-in-law" invited the Sun noble to his entire family.
With a smile that did not fade from the face, the Sun noble family walked towards the gate of the residence to greet prince Zhu Kai.
Zhu Kai looked at all the people who greeted him, his eyes flushing over a beautiful girl wrapped in pink hanfu, with a smile, Zhu Kai stepped towards him
"Yi'er.." call Zhu Kai with teary eyes. His longing has now reached its limit.
"Kai-Kai.." call Sun Yi slowly while looking down
Noble Sun who saw the interaction between his daughter and Zhu Kai smiled and invited him in.
"We better talk inside" said the Sun noble as he let Zhu Kai in.
Finally they entered and sat down in the family hall, Zhu Kai continued to look at Sun Yi, while Sun Yi still faithfully looked down showing an innocent and timid nature.
Noble Sun who saw that also immediately chuckled, immediately he called his servant.
"Festival.." call the Sun nobleman.
A waiter immediately came in a row facing.
"Hamba the great lord." replied the servant
"Prepare tea and snacks and take them to the park, all of you take them to the garden gazebo so they can freely speak" said the Sun noble as if to understand the meaning of Zhu Kai's gaze.
Hearing the understanding of the Sun nobleman, Zhu Kai smiled and nodded his head and got up from his seat, one hand outstretched to Sun Yi.
Sun Yi grabbed Zhu Kai's hand shyly and followed the young man and his 4 servants.
After arriving at the park, they sat in the gazebo, the waiter who was given the task to prepare a snack came and served cakes and tea for young ladies and their guests. After all was neatly arranged, the servants immediately resigned from the presence of the two.
Now that Zhu Kai was both with Sun Yi, not a single word had come out of his second lip, Sun Yi still continued to look down, his fingers twisting the outskirts of hanfu he was wearing.
While Zhu Kai looked blankly at the distance, his heart seemed to be longing and wanting to get close to Sun Yi, but somehow there was a sense of guilt that suddenly entered his heart.
Zhu Kai was still worried about his feelings. Was he really still in love with Sun Yi or was it just a feeling of longing? Zhu Kai did not know either. So did his feelings for Feng May. Either Zhu Kai loved Feng May sincerely or it was just an obsession.
Zhu Kai pacified his heart for a moment, before finally asking Sun Yi.
"I've been looking for you for the last 3 years, but I've never been able to find you. Where exactly did you go Yi'er?" ask Zhu Kai.
Hearing Zhu Kai's question, Sun Yi was silent for a moment, his chest rumbling between joy and fear. Glad that Zhu Kai still loved her and was afraid that Zhu Kai would find out the truth about her.
" A.. L'm..L'm.. " Sun Yi spoke stammeringly. For a moment his face lifted, his cheeks wet with tears.
Zhu Kai who saw Sun Yi crying immediately pulled her into his arms, he felt unbearable to see the frail innocent girl.
"Don't be afraid, speak up.. I will not scold you" Zhu Kai said as he stroked Sun Yi's hair affectionately
