Return: The Dragon Legend

Ch. 40. Longing

“J-don't leave me Yan’gege, takkk.”.

“Aduuh” Mei Hwa fell out of bed and then woke up holding her reddened forehead “Haih, why I recently had a dream about Yan’ge”

After waking up Mei Hwa tidied up her bed and went out which in front of the door there were two maids who would always meet her needs

In front of the door on the left was a woman with short shoulder-length hair about thirty years old, while on the right was a woman who was almost the same age but with longer hair

“Good Morning Mr. Putri”

“Huuagi aunt Dong. aunt Cai.” Mei Hwa returned the greeting by covering her mouth that was yawning

Seeing Mei Hwa who was about to take a bath made the two ladies swiftly take all her needs but was stopped by the girl whose hair was still a mess

“But the Princess.?”

“I told you, I can myself” Without waiting for answers from the ladies and then rushed to the bathroom, the two ladies looked at each other before finally following and keeping watch at the door of the Bath

The palace baths are pond-shaped with warm water as well as a pile of stones surrounding them

Where only the royal family is allowed to use it, of course with four soldiers guarding in every corner of the room and dozens of soldiers passing by for twenty-four hours in turn

After Mei Hwa entered the bath, then the two ladies whispered to each other “Hei.. do you feel there is something strange with the Princess.?” ask Cai Xin

“Sure, do you feel it too.?” answer Dong Xin

The two ladies who are ready to serve the Princess are the two sisters that Sun Qian once saved due to the war that occurred decades ago

Dong Xin held her chin with her index finger while tilting her head “Ahh, I just remembered, The Princess changed since returning from a small town called Changnan..?

“Entah” Cai Xin raises both of her shoulders before revealing the contents of her mind “What is possible, a man named Shou Yan is the cause.?”

“Lelaki who is always told by the Princess..? That boy surnamed Shou is just a villager, so there's no way”

When Mei Hwa returned to the palace, Mei Yueyin who first ran and hugged her daughter tightly caved she was the only treasure she had

Unlike Sun Qian who only smiled when he saw his wife can smile back “Thank God Hwa’er, you returned safely” He approached and stroked Mei Hwa's head

“Do you know mother, now I have something valuable” Mei Hwa smiled sweetly with slightly flushed cheeks

“Oh, really..? can you tell me more..?”

“Sure bunda”

Mei Yueyin held her daughter's hand and headed to the room to listen to the story, thinking this was the most beautiful smile Mei Hwa had ever shown

Seeing his wife who was about to let go of his longing with Mei Hwa, Sun Qian let the two of them down and chose to ask Guan Ju more fully

“So.. can you explain everything to me..? General Guan”

“Ba-good His Highness” Guan Ju broke out in cold sweat when he saw Sun Qian's sharp gaze, it had been a long time since he had seen such a serious face emanating from his leader's face

It has been many years he devoted himself to the country and already this second time Sun Qian showed his serious face “Maybe this is indeed his inner situation

Back at the conversation of Mei Yueyin, seeing her daughter who told her story without stopping at the slightest bit made the worry in her chest disappear “Is she indeed very strong.?”

“Sure Mother, she never even feared the slightest when faced with danger though and.”

Mei Yueyin smiled faintly as she listened to the story that Mei Hwa had told “This feeling, just like I used to feel when I met her inner Qian”, The smile changed when Mei Hwa told me further “You touched it.!?”

“Be-complete bunda”

“Let me ask Hwa’er, is he a man..? and did she ever touch you.?”

Mei Hwa lowered her head in embarrassment with a slight bow before finally nodding slowly “Hhmm”

Mei Yueyin's eyebrows shot up as she realized the figure Mei Hwa was telling her was a man and what she was more worried about was that the man had already touched her

“Remember Hwa’er, whether the man touches your hair or holds your hand do not let others know about this including your father.!?”

“Ba-good mother” Mei Hwa can understand why her mother forbid to criticize others because it could cause trouble for her and Shou Yan

“Hwa’er, what happened to your face..? is she not feeling well.?”

“Ti-no mama, I'm healthy kok”

With an anxious heart Mei Yueyin stuck her hand on her daughter's forehead “This.you have a fever, we should call healer”.

***

Cai Xin suspects that Mei Hwa has a special relationship with Shou Yan “What might the Princess have been... fall in love.!?”

Dong Xin wanted to respond to her sister but did not utter any words, along with that there was the sound of a falling wooden bucket

The two looked at each other before looking into the bathhouse and when they opened the door, they were shocked by Mei Hwa standing right behind the door “Tu-tuan putri.?”

“I told you already, if I had no relation whatsoever to Yan’ge” Mei Hwa stepped up and left her two ladies

Dong Xin and Cai Xin stared at each other in surprise before she followed Mei Hwa behind her, as long as the two followed behind no word came out of Mei Hwa's mouth until Cai Xin tried

dilute the atmosphere

“Mr Princess.. after the morning bath, how about we go around the palace.?”

“Baik”

Mei Hwa began to talk when out of the room and breathe fresh air “Views in the city are very beautiful when seen from here”

“True Mr. Princess, all this beauty is the result of His Majesty”'s struggle Cai Xin replied

“Without Your Majesty, none of this will ever be reached” Dong Xin continued

For a moment Mei Hwa just stood up and gazed towards the city and Cai Xin could feel an aura of sadness emanating from Mei Hwa's body “Why does the Princess always stare towards the city..? is there something there..?

“Not..that's the direction of Changnan city place.?” Although Dong Xin had long been a lady-in-waiting but her knowledge in reading the wind direction had indeed become an advantage

While looking at the city he tried to ask about what he had been feeling “Aunt Dong.. Aunt Cai.. may I ask.?”

“Iya Mr. Putri” answer both simultaneously

“Why does my chest feel tight when I think of Yan’ge.?” Say Mei Hwa with her hands touching her left chest

“Sorry Princess, maybe it is a disease Miss” replied

Cai Xin's

Dong Xin who does not know too much about the world of Love yet she is also a woman who has ever felt the longing “What if the Princess meets the Youth.?”.

Hearing the words from Dong Xin, Mei Hwa turned her head and looked at her sharply

“Ma-sorry Princess, I didn't mean anything else but.?” Dong Xin knelt down while apologizing

“But.?”

“It has been two years since the Princess returned from Changnan city, maybe by meeting her can make the feeling of the Princess so better”

“Aibi Dong.!”

Dong Xin became nervous as Mei Hwa raised her voice, along with that Cai Xin knelt down to get sorry from Mei Hwa because her sister had spoken sassy “Please Lord Princess forgive sister servant”

“What are you doing..? It was a very good idea” Mei Hwa approached and hugged both of them “For that I am proud to call you guys aunty”

“Thank you Mr. Putri” answered both simultaneously

Mei Hwa let go of her embrace then turned to look at the city with a loud shout while clenching her hands over “Yoshh,, wait for me Yann’ge.!”.

“You why..? colds.?” ma Liang asked Shou Yan who was preparing for training
