The Prince of Travelers

Chapter 061: Fulfilled with Misunderstanding

“Sa–salam, Mr. Princess,” greet a young girl berparas ayu who that afternoon visited Li Xiayu's place. The girl came with a ladyboy by her side. He looked timid and frightened facing the Seventh Princess.

“Asina, welcome,” welcome Li Xiayu friendly. It just so happens that he is bored today. This day, he continued to be confined in his room because Li An did not come home from his job. He can only stay with Mimi who is with him.

“Aibi, please prepare a snack,” pinta Li Xiayu, “We should entertain Asina well.”

“Good, Princess,” Mimi nodded obediently. He rushed to the back to prepare the banquet that the Seventh Princess requested. As soon as he left the living room, Li Xiayu directly asked Asina without making any pleasantries at all, “So, what is Asina doing here?”

“Em~” Asina bends her face deeply. He could not look at the Seventh Princess who was like a goddess from the world. That is, the degree of the woman before him is far above her who is just the daughter of a khagan, even though they are both daughters of a great ruler. Only, the more advanced imperial civilization made Asina inferior.

“Anu ... I ...,” Asina is still hesitant to say it. He is trying to strengthen his heart to be able to express his heart that is turbulent.

“Hm? Wh why? Just say! Don't be shy,” Li Xiayu became astonished because of Asina's shy attitude.

“Em~ anu ...,” Asina bit her lower lip out of nervousness. After a while, finally he could just say, “I'm sorry.”

“Ha? For what?” Li Xiayu was getting confused.

“Anu~ it ...,” Asina tried to look at Li Xiayu perfectly, but she was still scared to do that, “Sa–I heard, An–You scolded the Grand Prince this morning. I guess it was ...”

“It wasn't your fault,” Li Xiayu understood the outline. However, he actually misunderstood in one or two things, “Tenak. You don't have to feel burdened because of it. It was her fault because she was insensitive.”

“Ja–so, you are still angry with the Grand Prince?” Asina tried to ask. Just like the other residents of Tarkan, he misunderstood the relationship between Li Xiayu and Li An. So, he felt that he had ruined someone's household.

“Of course, the Insensitive One has not even apologized for his actions this morning,” Li Xiayu replied. Such a way of answering made Asina feel even more guilty. He never wanted to ruin anyone's domestic relationship. He did not mind being made a concubine by a certain ruler, but he did not want to compete with the main wife of that ruler.

“Mr Princess, please don't get too angry at the Grand Prince,” pinta Asina softly, “It was just a prank offer from Sire Khagan.”

“Top offers?” Li Xiayu squinted her eyes. He is digesting the situation. Apparently, he's starting to realize his little misunderstanding, “Oh, that offer to marry you?”

“Be–right,” Asina nodded while secretly swallowing her saliva. He was ready to accept the curse and curse of the Seventh Princess. Whatever it is, it will try to survive.

“I ...,” had not had time for Li Xiayu to express her opinion, Mimi had already come to bring a snack. The snack indirectly cut the chat between the two princesses there.

“Mr Princess, this is the snack you requested,” Mimi said as she placed the dried pastries on the table. The cakes were her own handmade. Some make of this kanaganan quite suitable for making delicious new food. “Princess Asina too, please eat her cake.”

“Eh? Ah, well,” finally Asina took the cookies. He also shared it with the lady who came with him. As he bit the first piece, he was instantly mesmerized by the characteristic sweet sour taste of the pastry.

“What's this cake?” Asina had only eaten such a cake for the first time. Although she was a princess, she quite rarely ate such a soft and crunchy sweet sour meal like this.

“That's a cake I made with fruits of khanate,” Mimi replied proudly, “Princess Asina, your country has different exotic fruits with our fruits. I am very happy to be able to make a cake like this.”

“Really?” Asina just found out about that fact. As an isolated princess, she received little education about the outside world, in contrast to some of her talented older sisters, who could even become the commander of the special forces of the khanate.

“Do you like Asina very much?” li Xiayu asked with a faint smile on her face. He remembered Li An's suggestion this morning. The Seventh Princess wanted to bring Asina to her side.

“How could I not like it?” subconsciously, Asina was backing a sincere smile on her face. He said those words sincerely from his heart, “This is a very tasty cake from the fruits of my country. Of course I like it very much.”

“Good,” a faint grin behind Li Xiayu's smile became a little obvious, “Asina, how about you come with me? I will guarantee your happiness.”

“A–what do you mean, Princess?” Asina was surprised to hear the offer. His cheeks immediately reddened due to misunderstanding something. Even so, he did not dare to hope unless he heard more clearly the intent of the remark.

“Be my day, then I will help you to be happy,” Li Xiayu said clarifying her offer. “You don't really like living here, do you? I heard, you are often even insulted for being weak. Just come with me. I guarantee you, you won't get that kind of humiliation again.”

“It ...,” Asina as if seeing the great hope from Li Xiayu's words. However, he was still doubtful about something that was in his heart. He asked to make sure, “A–does the Princess not mind?”

“Of course not,” replied Li Xiayu lightly. He brought himself closer to Asina, then whispered in the little girl's ear, “I will also help you to get An’er's heart. I see, you fell for him. Howwhy? Are you ready to be my day?”

“Tu–Master Princess seriously?” Asina was getting flabbergasted at the offer. He also became increasingly misunderstood of something, “What will you let, even help me to approach the Grand Prince?”

“I am very serious as long as you accept my offer,” Li Xiayu developed her smile, showing hospitality and seriousness to her remarks. She was the honorable Princess Tang. He had the determination to keep his promise as an imperial family.

“...”

Asina bowed in. In the mind of her neck that was still filled with misunderstanding, she thought that the Seventh Princess was doing that to keep her position as the main wife. The position of the lady-in-waiting of the main wife can never exceed the degree of the main wife itself. In fact, if he had a son later, his son's position would not be higher than that of the main wife's daughter.

Even so, Li Xiayu's offer and guarantee was more than enough for Asina. She is not an ambitious girl. Like Li Xiayu's kara, she was often bullied by her brothers and sisters for being weak. If he were to get protection from that princess, his life would definitely change. To him, the sincere love of the Grand Prince meant more than any standing.

“I ...,” Asina also replied with steadiness, “Available to be a lady to Mr. Putri.”
