Duke did not let them stay on the roads for long. With just a wave, he created a huge crystal pathway that ran right above theirs. Their carriage just rode above the crowd.
Many people gathered below looked up in awe.
Even the two in the scuffle glanced up in shock.
Feng Mei caught the attention of the two boys. They both looked like they were about fifteen years old.
One had flaming red hair and slightly golden eyes... he looked at her intently. The other was scrawling on the ground with a sword to his throat.
âClaudius is it? Interesting....â
The kid looked so young but he was able to wield that sword with suck might. The roads and the carriages near them were completely in shambles.
.....
To think that such a young kid did so much danger was astonishing.
A hand suddenly covered her eyes.
Feng glanced back to see Aiden had switched seats and was sitting right next to her. âDonât look. That man is bad,â
âHe is bad...â as far as she could remember Claudius was not such a bad character. He was unusually just and very bright. The only downside is.... he was a training manic.
Every time Clarina and he would meet si only at the training field. He would always be training there, not bothering to chase after her. It was almost like Clarina was the one who was doing all the chasing.
âBut the plot armor made it so that Clarina meets him so often.. That somehow Claudius fell in love with her so immensely.
{It was her kind aura and her beautiful smile under the sunlight that captured his heart.â}
The plot dialogue went like that. It sounds super cringy and annoying to even read.
âWhy would anyone fall in love with a person just because they are smiling? Why canât any of these main leads see the bitch I see in Clarina? Ugh, itâs so frustrating. This guy is going to grow up to be the greatest warrior of all times, standing behind that bitch he will do all her work manipulated by her sweet sweet words.â
âMommy I think there are so many traps up ahead in my small game life. Why is the game on the difficulty mode? Why? Why? Mister Ling why!!â
âFeng...âAiden held her hand softly.
âyes dear.... I just felt a little dizzy...â she closed her eyes, getting back her composure. âAre you nervous about the exams?â
âI can ace it,â he confidently smiled at her.
âAw, I donât share your confidence. I think I can barely pass my exam,â she leaned on his shoulders.
Suddenly a small realization hit her. Aiden was slightly taller than her now. At just six years old they were taller than her.
âThey are growing so fast... oh my boys.. soon they will want to leave home and find a girlfriend. I think I might shed a few tears of joy,â
She gently kissed his curly blond head.
Aiden silently looked up and gestured for her to come close.
âWhat is it?â she secretively whispered moving close.
Suddenly, he kissed her lips and giggled. âI wanted to kiss you too....â
Wide eyes Feng glanced at the duke and duchess they both looked like they were at loss for words.
ât-that was an accident.... Aiden, you should not kiss anyone on their lips. Itâs not proper,â lady Perlin chided him with a look of shock.
âBut I saw a lot of people doing that. Even you do that,â
Lady Perlinâs face went bright red. She hid her face with a folding fan blinking. âwe... we are married. Itâs only married men do to their wives,â
âOh..... but Feng promised to marry me,â he smiled like a little angel.
Ethan just sighed. âShe agreed to marry me too. i am owed a kiss as well,â
The duchess just glanced at the twins and then at her husband. âThey are progressing too fast. They might scare Feng away..â she whispered in fear.
âItâs okay,â he assured her and then glanced at the boys. âNo kissing allowed until you are fifteen. Promise or no promise this rule should be followed at all times,â
Aiden humped, folding his arm over his chest like a little angry man. âThen I wonât kiss you both either. You guys keep asking for goodnight kisses, right? No more kisses. Banned as you say,â
The duke was at a loss for words. He just sighed and whispered. âSorry little Feng. I apologize in turn to my children. They can be very naughty..â
Feng chuckled awkwardly wiping her lips. âYes... they are..â they glanced at Aiden. âWhy do these kids still remember that promise? Itâs been months. Wonât children forget things like in a day or so? Why... ahh this is so embarrassing. Now the duke and the duchess are going to think Iâm a pervert for agreeing to their demands.â
âFeng dear...â the duchess moved close with an expectant look. âso... I will you hold your promise?â
âNo! no.... I mean.. I...â
Both Aiden and Ethanâs face changed.
âahh, I didnât mean that. Itâs just... you are kids.â
âSo you will marry as when we are adults?â Ethan looked at her with hopeful look.
Feng did not know what to answer. She looked towards the adults for help.
The duke just shrugged. âHappy to have you as my daughter-in-law,â
âMe to me too!â lady Perlin excitedly said.
âGuys! Iâm older!!â
The duke and duchess looked at her with a peculiar look.
âSo? My wife is older than me by six years,â the duke said for which lady Perlin slapped his arms.
âYou shouldnât reveal my age like that,â
âSorry,â he apologized with a warm smile.
Feng Mei just looked at the pair and then at the twins. Who smiled at her the same way....
Their eyes were filled with love.
Not the familiar kind of love.
It was âloveâ love....
