General, I Love You!

Not as beautiful as reality!

Xiao Ling felt an inner bond between the two of them even though no words had been spoken, she felt peaceful being by Liu Bei's side.

A sense of pain quietly crept in the souls of the two as if there was a gap too deep to pass through.

"Say, at least .. You feel a little relieved. Although I may not be able to help you," Liu Bei said, he tried to convince Jia Li of the meaning of trust.

"Your Majesty .. actually since the battle at the Xuchang border before we went to Shandong and Suchang, I was seriously injured ….

"Since then, I've always felt nauseous seeing or smelling blood. I felt that I was completely useless," Xiao Ling said, not wanting to lie anymore even though she knew there was a hidden lie in between.

Xiao Ling still could not speak honestly about a truth about who she was, 'Maybe until I die, I will bring the story of who my true soul is!' bitter mind.

"really?" liu Bei asked, he felt full and pity.

Liu Bei felt that general Jia Li had suffered so many years at the border. He was still staring at the beautiful face, he felt that Xiao Ling had sacrificed a lot for the Han Empire.

That thing, made Liu Bei's body soul touched, he wanted to clench and lighten the burden on Jia Li's shoulders. Liu Bei felt that all the struggles and sacrifices that Jia Li had made for the empire could not be measured by anything.

'If I could make you happy ...' Liu Bei's inner self, he held his hand against caressing the pretty face.

"I think .. maybe it's time you took a break from the battle. It's time for you to put down your sword, Jia Li!" liu Bei said, "maybe the father's offer to marry you to Liu Fei is a very appropriate thing" he continued.

"Hehehe, maybe .. but, did it ever occur to you, if love is a matter of the heart? We can't force ourselves to fall in love with whom?!" xiao Ling said, he felt that the most miserable person in the world was in the middle of nowhere.

"I can't be in a relationship let alone marry someone I don't love" lamented Xiao Ling, she comes from a world where there is no discrimination between women and men.

"What is the meaning of strength if the heart is not calm and peaceful? What is the meaning of marriage, if everything is just an alliance instead of love?" lamented Xiao Ling, he still continued to stare at the setting sun.

Xiao Ling wanted to say that the evaporation of all the flavors piled up in Jia Li's mind was the rest of the shadow of the beautiful general's memories that were in agreement with his soul.

The silhouettes of the bodies of the two stood on top of the cliff gallantly with a million feelings enveloping the hearts. The two looked at each other and looked for peace in the desert.

"Jia Li, I .. I only know, if born in any court environment we may have no freedom other than, obeying what our superior has more power than us," liu Bei said, he himself was confined to a word "absolute surrender".

"You know, I was educated to abide by all the rules of the Empire and the palace without the slightest word, 'No'. You know, how hard it has been for me since I remember.

"If I oppose then, the punishment will be given even, the punishment is more terrible than the punishment obtained by ordinary people" he lamented.

"Like you, I have been betrothed to Chu Tian Wu's ministerial daughter Chu Zhuzhu" Liu Bei said, he glared at the sky above their heads where hordes of vultures flew in the direction where the rest of the battle had already occurred.

"Jia Li," said Liu Bei, he touched Xiao Ling's two shoulders that were still glued to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei could no longer resist the tempest of souls to touch the beautiful general who had been interfering with his days. Liu Bei did not understand with all his sense of belonging, he only knew he wanted to give the best rights to Jia Li even though life was at stake.

"There is no difference between me and you, we are both victims of a power. We have no rights, all our rights are shackled.

"You are right, maybe .. we can marry anyone but, we can never deny the love that grows in the heart because love is a gift from the God," liu Bei.

Liu tried to smile bitterly in his soul, remembering Ch Zhuzhu, he did not love the daughter of the beautiful minister Chu.

*Your Majesty ..," Xiao Ling said, she felt like crying.

However, Xiao Ling tried to shake off all the grief, she did not want to look weak and crybaby just because of love. Xiao Ling did not want Jia Li to look weak and broken just because of love.

"We can only enjoy the love behind the shadows of time and pray, hopefully our loved ones will be happy with their partners. I think that's just a piece of my love for the owner of my heart" Liu Bei said.

"Do you have someone you love, Your Majesty?" xiao Ling asked, he felt an indelible slicing in his heart and soul.

"Hehehe, you know besides my mother and yourself. I've never been familiar with any woman. How could I fall in love?" liu Bei asked, he felt so miserable about his life.

"really? Isn't a prince .. I mean, a prince can get anything without having to fight and compete?" jia Li asked not understanding.

"That's just speech and nonsense. How come? If in an empire let alone an empire that has several crown princes. We must be asked to compete for power and influence to keep our legs afloat.

"Otherwise, we're just followers and trash who will always be insulted by the family they're supposed to protect" he said, smiling.

"So, no one is free in this world Jia Li. Go back to Chang An, especially the Han Empire. After all you still have to fight again for your pride and the Tan family.

"I know, every woman and man must crave a beautiful marriage with someone they love. All of this is in a fantasy.

"Wake up, don't keep dreaming! Take care, face the reality!" lirih Liu Bei, he reminded Jia Li who was still speechless.

"Hey, it's late I'm looking for food. I hope you make a bonfire, if you don't want to go back to Donglai yet, I will accompany you until you are ready" Liu Bei smiled.
