THE EXTRAORDINARY YOU

Hard choices

Arriving at Xing xing Empire, it was already early evening. Emperor Zhang continued riding while looking at Xia lu's sleeping face leaning against his body.

"so sweet is my future wife" she muttered with a big smile looking at the face of the girl leaning on her body.

Zhang looked up at the sky with a gentle smile, If I ask that I want the girl I am with right now to continue being together forever, that is all (inner).

...The Xing xing Royal Palace...

In the large prison at the very back of the palace, where Prince Dong li was locked in a dark room bounded by iron bars.

There was the sound of screams, screams and screeches from the next room in the ears of Prince Dong li who was sitting on the floor hugging his own body.

"Gruesome" he muttered looking around with a frightened face, he did not expect the Prison he was in was so terrible.

"I didn't expect one day I'd go in this prison, but why not a.." he said in a truncated look at the man with his burly body opening the door and entering approached him.

"Because you are a Prince, His Majesty our Emperor will decide tomorrow morning the termination for you, Do not be too happy because it is not like the residents in front of the room or next to your room"Said the man with his cold face.

"Who are you?"dong li asked to glance towards the man standing up, he could not see his face clearly because of the dark room.

"I am the Chief Guard of this prison" he answered directly turning the body running out.

Dong li nodded, "Xia lu forgive me, may you be awake, it's all my fault I planned to kill the lover of my own friend, I'm really stupid and lost my mind" he said sadly.

**Morning Tablespoon**

Within the large hall that was in the palace of Xing xing Kingdom, Everyone of the palace gathered like Ministers, Eunuchs, and Generals. They all stood before the red carpet opposite each other.

Seen above the throne Emperor Zhang sat with his cold face staring down at the young man in handcuffs both hands and his body wrapped around many chains.

"Hope to listen to everyone!"Zhang firmly made a loud voice.

"According to my rules Someone who intends to destroy, destroy, kill the Emperor then the responsibility is life, no matter he is a famous or important person" Zhang said with a cold face glancing at Dong li down there.

Dong li bowed his body with a guilty face, "Do whatever Your Majesty decides, I'll accept" he accepted.

"No Zhang" said someone from the direction of the entrance of the hall, he walked quickly to the middle of the hall.

All eyes were focused on that person with a astonished face.

"I'm against your decision, Dong li isn't that bad as Zhang, he's doing all of this there must be a reason" Xia lu explained standing beside Dong li.

Zhang immediately stood up from his seat, he stepped down from the throne and descended the stairs walking towards the two people standing in the middle of the carpet.

*In the morning he's been here and hasn't even taken a shower I've seen*(inner Zhang).

Arriving in front of Dong li and Xia lu, Zhang glanced at Xia lu by raising his eyebrows.

"Don't we decide together Xia lu?"Zhang asked glanced at Dong li.

"That's a mistake, Dong li is indeed a friend, I think he can't possibly be such a person, I refute what I think of Dong li despite my feeling of being hurt, but the word friend no longer suits him from now on... Zhang I hope you give him a suitable punishment" Xia lu said directly turning his body.

Dong li glanced sideways at Xia lu.

Xia lu glanced at Dong li with a flat look, "No more candy" he muttered directly stepping away.

Dong li gulped hard at his saliva hearing Xia lu's words towards him, he lowered his head not daring to stare at Emperor Zhang's face which was staring at him.

"Xia you are too kind, I was forced to give this punishment to you...Prince Dong li's whip warrior two hundred times and your sentence increased wrote an apology with a drop of your blood of fifty words" Zhang said with his cold face staring at Dong li's face.

\*\*\*

The main room in Zhang and Xia lu's residence, in the bathroom where Xia lu was soaking in a rock pool with a face so flat.

His vision was empty daydreaming of something he had in his mind. Her beautiful face was slightly moistened by water.

"This is a difficult choice I have to decide" she muttered wiping away the tears that wanted to come out.

Xia lu wiped away the tears that kept wanting to come out, his feelings were so overcrowded and indecisive that he remembered himself fainting yesterday afternoon dreaming of something that kept him leaking in that thought.

He recalled the moment that the man he loved would disappear from the world he lived in if he continued to live with him but if he decided to leave his loved ones then that person would be fine.

Powerless to hold back tears, flowing tears swept over Xia lu's cheeks.

"From the beginning of my job just stop by and fix not continue to be here but I want more, I want to stay here, this is a difficult choice.hikss hikss hikss"sobs Xia lu silenced his mouth with both hands so as not to sound himself crying.

Tears kept dripping out mixed with the water in the pond.

"Tok, Big Brother Xia lu His Majesty Emperor Zhang wants to meet you"call Ceh yi to bring his head closer to the bathroom door.

Xia lu gasped at Ceh yi's call, he immediately wiped his tears and then moved from the bath pool by lifting thin clothes that wrapped his body only to the top of the chest.

"New him please come in, I'm getting dressed" Xia lu asked.

"Well" replied Ceh yi immediately ran away towards the outside of the room.

Arriving outside, Ceh yi bowed his body to Emperor Zhang.

"Your Majesty please come in, Princess Xia lu is dressed you can wait inside" Ceh yi said politely.

"Okay, you can go" Zhang said, staring into the room.

Ceh yi immediately walked away from the front of the room with quick steps.

"Eh wait for Ceh yi"hold Han shu who was behind Zhang turned his body.

Zhang glanced back at the sight of Han shu walking closer to Ceh yi, he looked inside the room back and stepped inside.

Han Shu pulled Ceh yi's hand and took him away.

In the room, Zhang closed the bedroom door from the inside and turned his body over to walk up to the bed and sit back on top of it.

"kreekk"the open bathroom door shows Xia lu wearing a light blue hanfu.

Xia lu glanced around the room and caught Zhang sitting casually throwing a gentle smile at him.
