The King'S Bride < & Bride >

15. Palace above the clouds

Note: Scene this qr then hear the song while you are reading.

"SHUT UP AND STOP IT ALL!"

Everyone stopped dancing and so did the song. All eyes were focused on the woman who was now walking towards the queen. The woman looked young like she was about the same age as Fangzue only she had too much make up and jewelry on

The woman stood in front of the queen and pointed to her "Is this how you teach our daughters-in-law?"

"Heh Dancing! that's right" the woman grumbled

The woman went from the queen to Wein's daughter "You cheap woman, you just entered this palace. But you showed off your body in front of a lot of people"

Fangzue who saw princess wein bowing his head immediately embraced his shoulders, he was his friend and also his wife how could he bear to see the grievances in his eyes

"Auntie is enough! This is our marriage you have no right to arrange" Fangzue replied in a harsh tone

Alin who saw the situation become tense immediately walked over and stood beside Ruan Ruo

"Ru, who is he?!" whispered alin in his ears

Ruan Ruo was surprised to see that Alin was already by his side and even he had already removed his veil with his hoarse voice he responded to Alin's question "He's the king's concubine, Sheng Ning"

Alin immediately glanced at Ruan ruo and glared in disbelief at what he said "Ru didn't your family say they didn't take concubines"

Ruan ruo knit her brows and nodded "Yes right when she is actually a mistake, she is a greedy woman" Ruan ruo said, saying cynically.

She stared dislikefully at the woman arguing with her brother

The woman turned around and looked towards Alin who was standing beside Ruan Ruo. Ruan Ruo could hear his little girl muttering "F**k it off!"

Really Ruan ruo wanted to laugh hearing him he had never heard alin say rudely seriously before

"Are you dr. Alin Craetta who is adored by so many?!  I've really heard a lot about you but it's a pompous baby in my eyes" Sheng ning grumbled in front of him

In his heart, Alin had issued an oath of expulsion because he was upset with his words

" You're not just the daughter-in-law of this family. Already look like a woman *******"

*******

Hearing that word alin anger rose to ubun ubun. Ruan ruo shuddered in horror seeing the girl's hand clench firmly after a few seconds the little girl sighed then smiled mockingly towards Sheng ning

"Sorry Miss, what is the reason you demeaned me like this?"

Alin speaks Formal like an English nobleman

"You, you humiliated yourself by dressing openly like this and dancing in front of so many people exactly like *******"

Sheng Ning grumbled in front of the little girl

"Why do you care?! The clothes and dance were the culture of the bride's hometown.  Do you mean we all have to respect men's culture and not respect women's culture?!"

"A... I don't" Sheng Ning hasn't been able to continue with him

"You insulted me, the queen, and princess wein while dancing! you thought we were cheap and insulted us, but do you think we're the only ones dancing?!"

Alin pointed directly at the king, and the two princes and all the important candidates of the palace were dancing

"The king with his majesty also danced earlier, that means you also insulted the King not only the king but the entire royal family. I know you're the king's concubine, and will be my future aunt. You're doing this for the good of everyone but by insulting you're also degrading all the working families? What will the bride's family say?! What if they were offended and stopped helping this kingdom?!"

"Let culture be like people's pride and you insult them!"

Alin grinned as not only the mistress' face darkened but the king's

"Sheng'er you have raised me all this time and you humiliated me and my family. As the saying goes, what punishment do I deserve to give you?!" the voice echoing the king made everyone present afraid.

The concubine knelt on the king's feet and she smashed her head on the floor "The king of this concubine is not wrong that's wrong"

The concubine then shouted "The wrong woman!"

The concubine got up and was about to reach for alin to teach him a lesson but could dodge just in time

"Ckckl... You think you can use violence right now?" mumbled alin

Sheng Ning became extremely frustrated as the king yelled at him so rudely "Sheng'er! you concubine don't know how dare you use your hands to touch my future daughter-in-law"

The King walked up to him then looked at him disdainfully "You better leave now before I have the guards take you back to the room!"

Sheng Ning could not help but be embarrassed so he immediately left without even turning his head in the slightest.

After that the celebration party continued

Alin sat on the swing while enjoying the cakes and snacks served by the waiter

While noticing Ruan Ruo who had always hugged another woman, Alin began to think of a way to change her he glanced at the male servant beside her and began to invite her to speak "Can you tell me what's in the brains of the men?!" tanya alin who responded with a confused look of the waiter

"Why are you confused?! I'm just asking and not interrogating you" alin said, waving his hand

The man's servant took a few steps back and lowered his head "Ma.. Sorry Miss I didn't mean to"

Alin laughed until the man's face became red "You don't need to be formal we're the same age think I'm your friend"

The man's servant shook his head "A... I don't dare Miss"

Alin can read the man's mind with one lyric, "Let's just remember this is my request, let's just say I'm your friend, I promise no one will blame you for this"

The man breathed a sigh of relief "Thank you for your kindness miss"

"Call me alin!" the little girl's order. The man's servant tried to say the name alin but his tongue slipped and became aling finally alin told him to call him with ling ling 'He is exactly like Vrella!' muttered alin lazily

Prorough...

A loud voice echoed throughout the hall. Alin and Mo chen, the male servant immediately glanced towards the source of the voice. Alin narrowed his eyes when he saw a woman in a fancy dress shouting at the little boy holding the plate

The woman pulled the little boy outside the hall. Alin and mo chen peeking behind a large window can be seen outside the woman pushing the body of a small child who is still faithfully holding the plate when viewed from the way her dress the little boy was not from the family low or homeless

When the woman entered the little boy was still outside and crying over the plate in his hand. Alin smirked towards mo chen "Mo Chen can you help me with something?"

Mo chen lowered his head "What can I help you with?"

Alin came out with a tray containing a variety of cakes and a few glasses of juice

He looked around but did not see the little boy

The more he walked away from the hall, the more small crying sounds became heard

"You Why?!" said alin while sitting on the grass next to him

The little boy rubbed his face "I'm fine"

Alin knows he's the kid who was "Hmm... The view is great!" exclaimed alin while looking at the river and sky in front of him

The little boy shook his head "I'm not hungry" he said

Alin flicked his shoulders and took out a cake and grinned at him "Yummy, this cake is delicious! The chef here really knows how to cook"

"The cake is too sweet" the little boy murmured beside him

"Where do you know it's sweet. Well you better try it before commenting!"

Alin placed the tray in their midst and gave the little boy the same cake as him

One bite of that little boy doesn't stop "What's your name?!"

"My name is Albert Derniant"

"You're a native Englishman from this island?"

Albert nodded his head "Yes me and the real father here, it's just that the father remarried to the Chinese"

"Oh so that woman was your stepmother?!"

"Yes you could say that but I didn't catch her at all"

"Why?" ask alin

"My mom is better and never yelled at me"

"Mother always told me about the palace but I was in fact the palace was terrible" albert continued, munching on the cake

Albert, a 6-year-old child, has been able to conclude things that sometimes adults do not realize. Cara albert concluded making alin remember himself as a child "So why were you scolded?"

"I accidentally dropped a plate and a cake. When I was about to pick up a new one, the woman suddenly got mad at me. The palace was so bad they just watched me cry and not help me!"

Alin stroked the boy's head "You're still a boy and you haven't seen the outside world if you're here, you're having a hard time defending yourself..."

"You know not all bad castles are like people in this world there are good and evil.When I'm your age when I'm sad I'm going to sing to comfort myself"

"Singing, I love singing" albert looked at alin excitedly

"You want me to tell you my secret song?"

"Secret, why Secret?"

"The secret of this song is curing disease, a disease that is hard to lose. When I was 3 years old a man in white robes helped me and taught me this song"

Alin closed his eyes and remembered the tone of the song. Before long a melodious and clear voice like an innocent child was heard in the silence of the night

'There is a castle on a cloud

I like to go there in my sleep

Aren't any floors for me to sweep

Not in my castle on a cloud

There is a room that's full of toys

There are a hundred boys and girls

Nobody shouts or talks too loud

Not in my castle on a cloud

There is a lady all in white

Holds me and sings a lullaby

She's nice to see and she's soft to touch

She says, "Cosette, I love you very much"

I know a place where no one's lost

I know a place where no one cries

Crying at all is not allowed

Not in my castle on a cloud...'

Unknowingly, tears flowed in remembering the figure of the white-robed man. Unfortunately he forgot his face he only remembered that in the past the man in white robes had said he was a doctor, the man in white robes was like an angel to Alin until now, when his grandfather wasn't around he was hurt only that man by his side

"Who is he ?" muttered alin while wiping away her tears.

Albert clapped "Sister, brother is also a native of this island huh? Whose sister's name?"

Alin smiled kindly at the little boy in front of him "My name is Alin Craetta, you can call me Kak al"

"Well it turns out that besides me there are also those who were born here" muttered albert with his plain shining eyes

"Sir, are you going to teach me that song? I don't know why after hearing her my feelings became happy again"

Alin nodded "Alright but you have to be smart, I don't accept stupid disciples!" alin

Albert's eyes were full of determination and enthusiasm "Thank you brother"

That night also alin directly taught albert. anyways the song is not difficult so it does not need to take much time

Suddenly a voice intruded them both "Hey... Who're you?!"

Alin pulled albert's hand and ran away

He had seen that the one who called him was Ruan ruo

His heart was pounding like "Sister, why run?" ask albert

Alin chuckled "That was my friend, if he heard me sing, he would start teasing me" no more precisely mocking than teasing it his mind alin when he saw Ruan ruo earlier

. On the other hand

Ruan Ruo gasped for breath chasing after a girl and a little boy, last night he had a dream of meeting the girl who sang the song and now he really saw it again even though he did not see his face because of the dark night. It's been 20 years that he's been waiting for this opportunity but again he's gone "That's got to be him, but why did he run?" muttered Ruan Ruo

"I'll find him no matter what happens!"
