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

"Tell big brother, second Prince is here," 

He sent his servat.

Servant came back and told him that Crown Prince was visiting Fourth Court today. 

Surprised second Prince walked toward Fourth Court. 

Light breeze was refreshing. 

And weather was mild and soft. 

One of the signs of coming winter.

Henan was visiting the upper part of the Fourth Court because she wanted to meet third Prince. 

She did not know that Crown Prince came to meet her. 

Third Prince was too much happy.

"Can we play again,?" He asked her.

"I am free today so we can," she brought Jei Lan with her. 

"But today you will see," he chuckled. 

"Come sit here, I will wrap a cloth on your eye, all servant will also be here to make it big play, you just have to find me," it was tricky.

Henan have no voice than to say okay.

Everyone took their positions.

"Jei you will hint miss Diu about my position to make it fair, but only limited hints," 

They were playing in the reserved part of the Fourth Court which was for for third Prince. 

Henan could not see anything, only she had to focus on the little movements around.

The third prince made a voice as a first hint for the girl.

It was from her left.

She extended her hand to support her possible movements in surrounding. 

There were also some pillars around. 

She walked blindly and soon Jei hinted that it was pillar next to her and if she stepped ahead she will hit with it. 

She moved left. 

Second Prince thought that his big brother was perhaps went to meet youngest brother. 

He walked toward the upper floor of the Fourth Court.

Crown Prince knocked on the door of her room. 

"Tell miss Diu that Crown Prince is here," 

Fan Mei bowed, "Fan Mei pays respect, miss Diu is on the upper floor od Fourth Court, third wanted to meet her," 

He curiously walked out. 

What third prince has to say to her? 

Does he know her? 

He wanted to know such he walked toward the second floor. 

Though he was already in the Fourth Court, but it would take him five minutes at least with his long strides to reach there and more if he walk normal.

Henan turned to follow the sound made by third prince. 

She barely avoid a servant whom she thought that third prince was near. 

"I will find you just little more time," 

She walked little fast when she had the voice to grab the little brat. 

"A pillar," Jei screamed. 

"I am fine," she reacted fast with the warning. 

Now third prince was standing behind her. 

There was no sound, no movements anymore. 

He gestured them to shut it all. 

Complete silence. 

Now she was blank to move around. 

She could only move if she have clues.

She walked ahead and then turned right. 

Another pillar welcomed her. 

And she was slightly hit by it, flustered she suddenly moved and got tripped. 

A hand pulled her falling figure and grabbed her on time. 

Second Prince was there so ran to save her, if he did not she might have fell from the second floor well no one noticed it before. 

"I think you need my protection," he chuckled in her ears. 

She slightly took off the cloth from her eyes only to see a handsome face, yikes but she feel disgust. 

She turned her face. 

She could not act irrational because he was after all second prince. 

"She don't need your protection," a male thundering voice echoed. 

He was furiously charging toward them. 

Next instant, he pulled the girl who was really uncomfortable with the second prince overly stature.

He wrapped his arm around her just to let his bother know his place. 

"Miss Diu, you okay?" She nodded her head. 

"Man, you are serious? Do you wanted to stop my breath? Release me a little," she smiled but did not say all this. 

"This killer smile," he released his tight grip. 

Second Prince curved his lips. 

"Since you are Crown Prince my big brother and according to law you cannot court her, why don't you let me court miss Diu, I assure you I will keep her happy at all costs," he wanted to test his mysterious brother now. 

It was necessary to know for him as for how much importance she have in his eyes. 

An unknown girl with blank background. 

Well, it will no more be blank because his spies were after her and keeping eyes on her. 

Sooner or later her identity would be defined. 

"You better stay away from her, I know very well how to protect her," Henan looked at the second prince and then Crown Prince. 

[By the way what is going here? When did I asked for protection? And why I need protection even? What are these expressions of your both? What are you both thinking? Let me know first. Stop, Crown Prince, what is in your mind? Why are you looking at me this way? This way, awe I remember now, In charge Chen saw many times to Ying Jun that way she witnessed then he came with a proposal for her, urghh] 

Her head got spinning.

And she collapsed. 

Crown Prince got worried.

"Miss Diu, what happened to you?" 

"See, she got scared with your possession, you don't know how to take care and love a woman, she might hate you if she know that you are after her beauty," 

An arrow shoot by his brother directly pierced through his heart. 

He looked at the unconscious girl. 

"Just keep always in your mind, I am not after your beauty, I love your courage and innocence," 

"I would never spoil your dignity and not let anyone do it," he looked at his second brother with visible hate. 

He will safely send her back and if she was engaged to someone, he would arrange a grand wedding ceremony for her, this was what he could do to pay back her. 

'This way she would not hate me,'
