"Yeah, the party is tomorrow and my job is to accompany the princes and princesses of the Shing and Teo Empire," said Wang Ping sighing.
"Rough night it's going to be…" Lin Yu Yan said after. Wang Ping laughed because her speech is very very different from what people from this time talk and he finds it very strange and funny.
"Hey, I want to report something," Wang Ping got closer to talk a bit quieter so only Lin Yu Yan can hear. "I heard some of the soldiers are going around town counting off how many people living in each quarter and is a citizen of my empire."
"What about it?" Lin Yu Yan said.
"We usually do it every 10 years, counting the population of the empire but its only been 7 years since the last count so it's kind of suspicious why we are doing it so early. My Father has been busier lately and having secret meetings at night as well," Wang Ping said. "His attitude has been getting more aggressive too. He almost killed my little brother for just not looking at him when he was speaking."
Lin Yu Yan was surprised about hearing the domestic and child abuse from Wang Ping but his expression didn't change. It seems violence within the family is normal. As they were talking about the current crisis, Wang Ping notice the scar that was usually hidden behind Lin Yu yan's hair disappeared.
"Your scar…"
"Oh yeah…" Lin Yu Yan took off the veil and showed her real face to him. "It healed a couple days ago."
He was in shock. 'She's so beautiful… If it was healed a couple days ago,Lin Yu Yan has to be the rumored Unknown beauty going around town…'
"Beautiful..." whispered Wang Ping by accident.
"What?" said Lin Yu Yan, not hearing what he said.
"Nothing...!" He blushed and looked away relieved she didn't hear him.
Wang Haobin and the others were waiting for Wang Ping to come back because they were going to leave to go back to the palace for the night. He was taking too long, so only the princes of the room left the room to find him, just to see he was outside the room talking to a gorgeous lady.
At this time, Lin Yu Yan already had the veil off her face and they can tell that Wang Ping was very close to her. Lin Yu Yan was smiling as well making the other princes jealous of the relationship of the two.
"Beautiful…" said Prince Shing Li Xue.
Lin Yu Yan heard someone and looked behind Wang Ping to see the 4 men behind him. She recognize Wang Haobin but not the other three. She just looked at them and smiled make the other 4 princes' heart strings knot.
"Hey, your brother is behind you, I have to go. And don't tell them who I am," she said quietly but enough for Wang Ping to hear and walks away back to her room.
"Who's the beauty? I've never seen anyone as beautiful as her before," asked Shing Li Ren.
"Is she the rumored Unknown Beauty going around?" said Shing Li Xue.
"Is she single?" Teo Dewei asked excitedly.
Wang Haobin has never seen such a beautiful woman in his life and stood still staring at nothing trying to embed her image in his mind. He wanted her to be his. 'She is the woman of my dreams! She has to be mine!' but he wasn't the only person standing there thinking of that.
"Brother Ping, who was she? Is she from here? What's your relationship with her?" asked Wang Haobin.
Wang Ping looked at the other princes in surprised. Especially his brother who is already engaged someone already. Wang Haobin usually doesn't ask about other girls, the whole town is usually obsessed with him.
"Don't even try, brother and princes of Teo and Shing. She's already taken by someone. She's just a friend," said Wang Ping.
"Come on~ Just tell us who she is!" said Wang Haobin insisting for him to spill out the information.
"Brother…" he looked at Wang Haobin trying to keep a straight face not trying to laugh because he can see the face his brother would make if he knew who she is. "You'll see her tomorrow at father emperor's birthday party."
