Chapter 652 - I..like you! (2/2)

She shook her head and held her head down to hide her blooming smile.

However, her actions caught his attention and he couldn't help but smile seeing her shy actions.

*Ahem* He clears his throat and says, ” Princess Tan Xiu, what were you doing at the market? Did you even take permission before coming out?” He narrowed his eyes as he looked at her suspiciously.

Her smile disappeared when she heard his question. She pursed her lips and said in a low voice, ” I...I came secretly out of the palace.”

His expressions darkened as he said, ” Secretly? Do you know how dangerous it is these days for you to get out of the palace alone? What if someone recognizes you? It can be very dangerous, anything can happen.”

She frowned and said, ” Nothing will happen. Who dares to do anything to me? I am the Princess of the Tan Dynasty and this is my territory. What can happen to me?”

He shook his head hearing her naive words. She doesn't even know what dangers are possibly waiting for her. She not only belongs to the royal family but was dearest to his Majesty. She can be used to threaten the royal family. Also, her image represents the dignity of the Tan Dynasty and His Majesty.

His Majesty has so many enemies, they can easily use her to exact their revenge. Yet she doesn't understand the dangers around her.

He sighed and said, ” It's all for your safety. After all, you're the princess. As a princess, you should mind your actions and be careful before doing anything. Princess of the Tan Dynasty should not..”

” I said that I don't want to be the princess. Does being a princess mean to be caged in that luxurious palace for the whole life? Does being a princess mean that I have to sacrifice myself for the sake of the state? Does being a princess mean...I have to sacrifice my love?” She shouted as she couldn't bear to listen to his words anymore.

Yuan Song was stunned by hearing her words. He stared at her for a moment as his expressions started to darken.

He pursed his lips and asked in a deep voice, ” What do you mean? Did something happen?”

Tan Xiu was surprised to see his serious expressions. She pouted as she controlled herself from crying again. She sniffled and took a deep breath.

She stared at him and reminded her of the golden words. ' Tan Xiu, you can do it. Go for it.'

” I... Commander Yuan Song...I...I like you. Commander Yuan Song, I like you. It's not that I started to like you recently but from the very first day, I saw you. It's been a year since I am following you around.” she started speaking while pausing in between.

” When you came to the palace for a banquet and was recently promoted as the commander of the military, I fell for you at that time. At first, it was an attraction, which became a curiosity. However, after seeing you a few times, I realized that I like you.”.

” You are cold and ruthless at battle but with me, you have always been gentle and nice. No man has ever made me so special.”.

She pursed her lips seeing his shocked expressions and the way he was looking at her without saying anything.

She clenched her dress and said, ” You don't have to respond to me now. Please don't feel burdened by it. It was...just my feelings. I just wanted to let you know how I feel.” she shivered as she felt afraid looking into his eyes.
