Henan Zhong: Three Wooers, The Bride Is Not Ready Yet

She came back. 

The night was near its end.

"Wan Hu I will come tomorrow and bring something to heal your body," 

"Henan, don't do this, don't come here again, if they find you I cannot imagine what would happen then, please," 

"Wan Hu Shang do you fear death? Or you take me as a coward?" She asked seriously. 

"As for as I remember you were never," he said. 

"And you never feared death I know, you are the one who told me that life is not about to sit and cry for the dear but to courage and fight to save the dear one," 

"You broadened my horizon and thoughts, you brought life in me when I wanted to die at the age of five after my father," 

"You gave me hope and the courage," 

"Whenever I walked ahead, I found you ahead of me leading my way," 

"Did you forget your promise?" He was listening her and he never knew that she felt about him this way. 

He was in a condition that he could only try to remember his own name much less to remember any promise and Henan was not someone who he forget anytime.

But what was the promise? 

"You promised me that you will finish the cruel customs, and I promised that I will stand by your side making your standing stronger one," 

"Now do you wanted to go back on your words?" Her tone was slightly rough and she knew. 

It was intentional by her side. 

She wanted to say it. 

She wanted to bring strong aim in his mind because this prison could easily shatter the aims and hopes of a human, she knew it because she she was prisoned in the silent dead cold castle. 

And she knew what a prisoner think in that condition.

She herself wanted to accept the fate back then. 

Though it was too much for her age to experience and learn but she learned it well. 

She wanted to make him remember.

Who he was? What was his aim? 

He forgot the pain he was suffering. 

Her tone was enough to shake his heart. 

If he cannot fulfill a promise made to his dear one, he might not be able to die peacefully. 

"Henan," he forcefully stood up. 

"I will never disappoint you again," he hugged her. 

This was first time that he hugged her. 

He did not know that her shoulder was injured. 

She bite her tongue under her teeth but did not tell him that she was hurt. 

If he know he would never ever listen to her, no matter whatever excuse she give.

She knew him a little. 

He was brave, courageous to stand for her and all the great qualities that a King should have, she will help him to become a great King by becoming his moral supporter. 

Just like he used to support her in her childhood. 

She did not intend to continue this exhausting and dangerous adventures. 

This bigger wound was enough to teach her this new lesson. 

Wan Hu can stand alone.

He don't need her. 

She was only here to payback his favors of years. 

And she had decided thoroughly before setting on journey. 

If she had to give her life in paying back the favor, she would do. 

Wan Hu was thinking to tell her that she was his dear one. 

'Would she believe even?'

"What if she got angry?' 

'What would she think that I am a bad guy?' 

'He could listen to her whatever she has to say, did she feel the same?' 

'What if she not?' 

'I might lost her,' 

His fears were just too big. 

"Wan'er, I should go, I will be dawn soon," she reminded him and he let her go. 

She came out from the window and disappeared in the dark. 

She reached her room just before the dawn. 

She pretended too much courage in front of Wan Hu for his sake but truth was she was broken to see him in this condition. 

She wondered whether she had learned a good thing or bad? 

Jei could see the gloom prevailing all over her face but she dared not to disturb young miss. 

"Jei, help me a warm bath," her body was aching due to her too much walk and the careful pace all time, she was tired and the wound was adding to it. 

She immediately went to prepare the warm water in room pool. 

This room was comfortable in every way with every facility in it. 

The Prince specially ordered this room for her to live more comfortably here.

Prince did not met her from two days. 

He did not send his servant to inform. 

He brought a special medicine which would heal the wound more rapidly. 

This medicine was easy to get even for Palace but he arranged for it. 

And since he was learning two hours everyday about medicines with the old physician, he have some understanding toward medicines and herbs. 

He had personally prepared it. 

The in room warm water pool was ready. 

Jei told Henan. 

Of course, she would help her a little. 

She slowly entered in the pool. 

The room door was not locked.

Jei forgot to lock it. 

Henan remained in the pool for some time until she felt relaxed. 

She wrapped a large cover around her chest and walked out. 

Her feet have some marks which were due to large distance foot walk. 

She sat on the corner of the bed and asked, "If there is some remedy for feet, apply on my feet," 

Prince walked and reached outside the room. 

He knocked on the door. 

Henan stood up and went behind the large curtain. 

Jei went to open the door. 

It was Crown Prince. 

She cannot shut the door because if front was the Crown Prince. 

He entered in the room. 

"Where is miss Diu?" He creased his brows. 

"Crown Prince, miss Diu is taking path in the warm pool, should I inform her?" She bowed. 

"No need, just tell her that I will lunch with her today," he exited the room in hurry.
