Lory got up from his chest, the carriage already stop and no one inside the carriage beside them, she rubs her eyes to wake herself, when she got out off the carriage she stretches her limbs in an unladylike manner but no one here except Zhao Li Xin subordinated so she did not care too much.
Bei Li Yan amused by her behavior, Lory twist her waist left and right then she bends her body back and forth she feels very stiffed, when she travels to Liangzu, Zhao Li Xin always stop every three hours because of her but today they travel non stop for five hours lucky she sleeps on the halfway.
"Miss Luo, are you okay?" Bei Li Yan chuckles when he sees her massage her neck.
Lory stifle, she knew she acts unladylike "I'll be fine but you should just call me Ri Yi, Miss Luo sound distance for me"
Bei Li Yan glance at Zhao Li Xin for permission after the Lord slightly nodded Bei Li Yan smiles widely at her "Sure, but you should call me Brother Bei then"
"Why you become her Brother?" Jin Hao suddenly appear "Call you Li Yan would be enough" Jin hao always though Bei Li Yan too friendly behavior used to make women think he is a flirtatious man but he's not like that on contrary he quite serious about relationship even though his palace people mostly beautiful women he never have ambiguous relationships with any of them, everyone in Hei Shen Sect palace knew about this but Luo Ri Yi didn't know this, what if she misunderstood.
Lory laugh "It's okay, Master Bei is older than me, I also call Mong Ki and Mong Yi Brother so it's fine" who care how to call other people she even called Jay 'sweetie' sometimes, when she coaxed him or make him do something bad, jay used to look at her suspiciously whenever she called him'sweetie'
In the middle of conversation a new entourage arrived, there's a bunch of young nobleman walk arrogantly, their subordinated follow them from behind all of them look strong and not less arrogant than their master, on the center there's a young woman with haughty look wearing soft pink dress with delicate white flower embroidery, her wide sleeve adorned by beautiful frills and lace, if that not enough she wears a lot of small hairpins that make her like Christmas tree.
"Is she going to the forbidden forest?" Lory whispers to Zhao Li Xin. The man has rummaged the box on the carriage he glances a second to the ridiculous entourage "I guess so.." he said indifferently and continue to rummage the wooden box.
Lory stunned "She's going inside the forest like that, I thought she's going to the banquet"
Bei Li Yan chuckles, he also thinks the same "Maybe she thought the beast won't harm her if she looks cute" he ridiculed.
"Why no one knocked some sense to her, the forest is thick with branch and after the rain, the ground would be slippery than before, wearing that kinda dress is suicide" Lory shakes her head she pitty that women and admired her stupidity at the same time
Because she will get inside the forest Lory wear simple dark green robes with pants, why she wears green? It's for camouflage, Zhao Li Xin finds what he looking for he took out a small pair of boots "Wear this!" Zhao Li Xin gives her small boots to change her shoes, Lory changes her shoes without making a fuss she even took off her shoes in front of jin hao and Bei Li Yan which is shocked them, both of them reflex is turn around and cover her while changing her shoes.
Zhao Li Xin help her wear her shoes "Next time don't show your feet in front of other men, it's inappropriate" he reminded her gently, he knew lory not used with this Kingdom custom and after he confirms she's not even from this world he becomes even more patient to her.
Lory's eyes bulged, she remembers one of the maids had said something like this before but she not pay attention "Oh dear, I'm sorry, I don't realize it, is that why…" she look at Bei Li Yan and Jin Hao back. Who not dare to look at her "I'm sorry guys!!" she feel guilty, how can she forget her father keep remind her to honor and respect other people custom and culture wherever she goes.
"It's fine Ri Yi but be careful next time" Jin Hao said while maintained her back to cover her.
"I will!" she replied firmly.
Jin hao smiles faintly, his assessment to Lory improves a little bit, he thought someone who can admit her mistake and ask for forgiveness right away can be so bad, but it's still too early to judged her character nonetheless it's a good start.
The fancy groups now face to face with Zhao Li Xin groups, Lory amazed how different their groups are. While the other groups appearance screams 'We rich and noble, praised us!!' on the other hand Zhao Li Xin groups appearance said 'F**k you, Go away!!' it's not surprising it's both groups would clash and just like she though the man with luxurious robes from the fancy entourage approach walk dashingly at them with cocky look.
"Who are you guys, how dare you block our way!!" he said arrogantly.
"Huh?!" Jin Hao turn around with a disgusted expression on his face but still not decreased his handsomeness, the young man who shouts at Jin hao was stunned by Jin Hao's handsome face, he felt an imaginary hand just slapped his face.
"Don't bother her brother, dogs like bark Afterall" Bei Li Yan also turns around with playfull smiles, his androgynous beauty shock the poor young man heart he feels another imaginary hand slap his face again.
"Master Bei, Master Jin should we leave now?" Mong Ki returns after he put the carriage to a safe place.
"Milord said, we need to head on before dark" Mong Yi also add-in.
Although they not as refined as the other two, both of them look manly and valiant with a hint of danger in their aura, the poor young man feels two more slaps consecutively on his face, Lory sees the damage is too severe to that poor young man's heart. Judging by how luxurious his robes and how neat his hair and appearance he probably from a prominent family and he might have a month of confidence with his appearance too, that until he met the Hei Shen sect member.
Lory feels bad for the frozen young man in front of them 'You got it bad huh….'
The Christmas tree girl saw a bunch of handsome man in one group becomes excited, she used her best smiles to approach them "Young master, the journey inside the forbidden forest is dangerous why don't we join our groups to be safer" she said with cute and childish tone, a woman like this can easily stir up a man heart to protect and indulged her but too bad the man she talking to is Hei Shen sect member.
"Don't need to!" Bei Li Yan stifles 'what an old trick' even his girls in his palace never use this trick anymore.
"Don't want to…" Jin Hao said indifferently.
"Ri Yi, wear more cloak your body still not good" a certain Lord did not even realize what happened.
"Okay okay, but isn't this too long….." Lory also doesn't have time to pay attention to Zhao Li Xin nagging her.
While Mong ki and Mong Yi...…. well they did not bother to talk, their eyes watch their Lord who acts like concern mother, sometimes they miss their cold and domineering Lord.
The Christmas woman has never been ignored since the day she was born when she got ignored by a bunch of handsome men who can measure the deep impact on her, she becomes red from shammed and anger, one of the young beside her would not stand down when his beloved woman got humiliated.
"How IMPUDENT!! Do you know who she is!!" the young man berated, the Christmas tree girl recover from her shock she feels happy someone tries to protect her, they believed these men act this way because they don't know who she is if they do they will not dare to be rude with her.
But before the young man notify the beautiful lady identity, the other groups cut his off
"Don't know!!" Jin hao said with the same monotone voice
"Don't care!" Bei Li Yan sneered
"Ri Yi put on the hood, there's still a bit of drizzle from the rain" Zhao Li Xin put on the hood on Lory's head, he still not realizes the commotion behind him, not like he care.
"It's fine, it's only a little, okay okay I put it on...geez"
The Christmas girl can't maintained her pure face anymore "I'm Ming Ru Yi, the third princess of Liang Zu Kingdom!" she slightly raises her tone to make them hear, all Zhao Li Xin group looking at the girl simultaneously the Christmas girl a bit embarrassed but proud because they took notice at her, she sure they will not dare ignore her again after they knew who she is.
Eventually Zhao Li Xin took notice of Ming Ru Yi, his sharp gaze makes her feel like thousands arrow stabs her heart, what a perfect handsome man, she never saw anyone this handsome before, Ming Ru Yi become flustered she just experience the legendary love at first sight, unfortunately, it with Zhao Li Xin, so everyone could have guessed it' won't end up well.
Ming Ru Yi can't take her eyes from him, but what that handsome face say to him for the first time would crack her heart for the first time, Zhao Li Xin look at her with disdain "How noisy…" he said coldly, then he wrapped Lory's shoulder and leave the noisy place immediately.
The fancy entourage doesn't know how to react, they use to surround with people who try to curry their favor, people would bow courteously and treat them politely, it gives them a sense of importance and boost their ego, but this is the first time they were treated like nothing and before they can protest that group already leave them, they can only swallow their anger and humiliation and swore they would return this feeling to that group.
