The Abandoned Princess

Destinies

The horse was used to walking forward slowly, Lexie was already too tired, he could only grab the reins tightly and lay weakly on the horse's back. Lexie had no idea how long she had been away, as the sun rose, warm sunlight was exposed on her skin and Lexie finally fell into a deep sleep on the horse.

Lexie had no idea that when she fell asleep, the horse took her to the bank of a river.

At that moment there was a ship in the middle of that river, a man was bathed in the sunlight and elegantly stood by the side of the ship. The man stared at the sun in the distance and suddenly saw a horse. The horse was drinking water from the riverbank, and on the horse lay a woman, as the man was wondering, the woman turned her head involuntarily and the man could see the woman's face clearly.

"Guard!" The man was so shocked, there was uneasiness as well as a vague excitement heard from his voice.

A few people rushed out from inside the ship, led by a woman who looked very charming, the woman came behind the man and saluted, "Master."

"Brenda, ask people to stop the ship at the edge." The man's voice was very low.

Brenda was fixated for a moment, stood up then followed the man's gaze, she also saw there was a person and a horse by the river, but Brenda did not ask much and immediately asked people to stop the ship on the shore.

As soon as he reached the edge, the man impatiently descended from the ship, probably due to his hasty walking, his footsteps tripped. If it wasn't for Brenda who was behind him helping him it seemed like the man would have fallen into the water. Brenda was very surprised, she had been following this master for so many years but she had never seen this master behave this way.

When he reached the side of the river, the man reached out to hold the woman on the horse, as if recalling something his movements stopped then coldly turned his head and instructed Brenda, "You go first, don't show up without my orders, oh yeah, so clean up this woman's tracks, along the way, make sure no one's chasing her."

Brenda was surprised, there was sadness that flashed in her eyes, she looked at the woman on the horse, who looked pitiful but her face was very charming, Brenda bit her lower lip and saluted the man, "I'm retreating."

As Brenda left, the man carefully carried the woman down from the horse, only when the man left, he said, he had no idea that Brenda was actually hiding behind a huge tree ten feet away. The man's careful actions like that were treating a precious treasure made Brenda able to see it clearly.

"Master, Brenda followed you for years but still can't compare to this woman?" Brenda's nails were deeply stuck in her flesh, but Brenda could only sigh and turn around to clear the horseshoe trail.

The night came in silence.

The river water reflected the light emanating from the ship, reflecting the light of the stars in the sky, twinkling, there were faint twinkles from a distance, the sound of the flute sounded so smooth with a touch of sadness. it seemed that someone playing the flute was in a bad mood so it also made the flute sound so pitiful.

Lexie frowned and opened her eyes, finding herself lying in a warm room, the floor swaying slightly, the sound of running water coming out the window, was Lexie on board?

When Lexie was confused that the door was open, a hunched servant walked inside, finding that Lexie was awake, the servant's eyes sparkled and saluted Lexie: "It's good that if miss wakes up, I'll go report to mister. Please miss wait."

Lexie did not rush to ask the waiter had already put down the medicine bowl and rushed out, not long after the sound of footsteps came back and the person walking in at that moment was so shocking to Lexie.

Dexter held the flute and walked to the edge of the bed, waving his hand towards the waiter behind him. The waiter immediately bowed respectfully and left. Dexter helps Lexie to get up and lean on the headboard, "Lexie, you still remember me, I'm really very happy."

Be happy? Lexie didn't even see the smile on Dexter's face, not at all feeling Dexter was happy at the moment. Just why Dexter isn't happy, Lexie doesn't want to know at all.

"Mr Dexter is too disinclined, a person like you will never be forgotten if you have met." Lexie leaned back into the bed without changing her face, removing Dexter's hand that was still on her back.

Dexter looked hesitant, then angrily said: "If you remember, why didn't you come looking for me? I've said that you can come looking for me if you're in trouble."

Lexie did not answer her question and just looked at the floor, not daring to look up.

"Have it, after all I can still meet you when you are at your most difficult time, this is probably destiny. Don't call me Mr. Dexter again, just call me brother Dexter. If you refuse I really don't know what to do." Dexter no longer continued the matter of why Lexie did not come looking for him, this was his sense of caring and gentle demeanor.

After she finished speaking, Dexter then turned to the table and took the medicine bowl, used the spoon to stir the medicine and blew it near her lips, before handing it to Lexie. Dexter feeds Lexie on medication but doesn't look at Lexie at all, only flatly saying: "Because you're pregnant then you shouldn't be running around like this."

There was a shock that flashed in Lexie's eyes but in an instant it disappeared, because there was a medicine, it was certain that the healer had examined it and found that Lexie was pregnant, it was predictable.

"I'm alone." Lexie takes the medicine bowl, and doesn't let Dexter bribe her, their relationship isn't that close and also Lexie isn't a person who likes to play with feelings, Lexie won't give that chance.

Dexter hands Lexie the medicine bowl, but Dexter doesn't leave, still sitting on the edge of the bed, "The boy..? belongs to king Victor?"

Lexie's movement to take the medicine stopped, then continued to drink it to the toilet, put the empty bowl and then Lexie nodded her head.

Dexter's face paled instantly, but he did not say anything, only saying: "Do you want to go back to his side?"

Lexie shook her head and smiled dejectedly, "If I want to go back, then I won't try my hardest to escape."

"Can you tell me why? Men like Victor's king are many women who like him, because you have conceived his child, if Victor is willing to defend the child maybe you will have a position in his residence in the future?" Dexter said in a very soft voice, like a psychiatrist who can always help you unknowingly tell him your most sincere heart.

Lexie pulled the corner of her lips and laughed cynically, "Position? If not the only partner for a lifetime, then I'd rather not want a man in my life."

"The only couple of a lifetime ..." Dexter widened his eyes, looking at Lexie in disbelief, Dexter didn't seem to think that there would be a woman who would say such a thing, a man having more than 1 wife is common, a woman must be heartened for the sake of her husband can only be said to be a quality wife who becomes a woman loved by her husband and in-laws.
