Previously on the novel Return of the Princess. . .
Yingjun and Yueji meet again inside the Bordil Baihe House, but only Yingjun remembers Yueji at her meeting at the mooncake kiosk not when they meet under the forest ravine. Yingjun who was playing a sitar to accompany the dance of the girls continued to stare at Yueji unnoticed by her because
his voice that stupefied everyone.
Inside the Bordil Baihe House, many dancers who were showing their ability to wander around entertained the guests. Yueji, who was dressed like a man, enjoyed it. He sat in the corner of the room while continuing to pay attention to it and carefully took out a book to immortalize it.
For a moment he stopped to pay attention to each side of the model he was painting, without realizing a child was sneaking up on him and immediately pulled the book from his handle. The surprised Yueji shouted
“Hey, You. Return the book!!” then chase after him
“Hey, Stop there!” while continuing to run. Because of his small body, the boy was able to run in the narrow corner of the market even into the hallways making it difficult for Yueji to be able to catch him.
At a corner of the market as the boy ran in the other direction Yueji's footsteps were stopped by the royal patrolmen blocking his way. Not telling them to step aside but Yueji was even fixated, his body immediately pegged enjoying the good looks of one of the soldiers. He was the police chief Zhao
Lantians. (Yueji, Yueji, he is indeed easily charmed when he sees a handsome man. Understandably, for 20 years living in the Cave in the forest the only man he could see was the recluse's old grandfather).
“Nona. . .Miss!” not long after, Yueji was struck by his heavy voice.
“What are you doing?” they thought Yueji was deliberately blocking the path of those on patrol, not the other way around they were blocking Yueji's path after the little boy who stole his book.
“Oh God, the boy, where did the boy go?”
“Hei, miss. What's wrong with you? Step aside and do not hinder our patrolling duties!” one of them scolded him in a high tone
“Ah, sir. Please help me find the boy who ran in front of me, he stole my valuables, mister”
“Hey, you must be making up stories to tease our police chief Zhao right? Move!”
“Inginku like that. . .No, I was really chasing after the thief earlier, and weren't you guys blocking my way?” he said it was getting louder
“What did you say?” snapped
“Zhiling, relax! Miss, what are you saying is true?” ask police chief Zhao. It turned out that the person who had upset Yueji was named Zhiling, Zhao Lantian's right-hand man who was the son of one of the heralds (his duty was to receive guests of honor from other countries and serve them during the visit). His position was directly under police chief Zhao and they had known him since childhood.
“True, sir. I'm not lying! He stole my valuables while he was at the Bordil Baihe” House
“What did he steal?”
“A painting book”
“Haha, you want us to find a thief who just stole a useless book like that?” zhiling's soft voice made Yueji go up in black
“What did you say? Hey, watch your mouth!”
“Police chief Zhao, we better continue patrolling and ignore the nonsense!”
“Wait for master, I really need your help” his hand grabbed the arm of police chief Zhao while pleading with him
“How dare you!. .”
“Already. However this is a case of theft, no matter how small the goods we still have to find and arrest the culprit” said police chief Zhao who calmed his subordinates
“Nona, where does the child go and how is his features?”
“Alright, we will try to find there and you can look the other way” they also began to split.
Zhao Lantian was the son of Zhao Baoyu who held the position of Taiwei or Grand Officer in Taiyang country. At the age of just 26 years, he is believed to be the Chief of Police Province I named Zhou. In some wars, Zhao Lantian often led cavalry or cavalry troops to defend the border line of the kingdom.
Yueji's painting book was snatched away by a petty thief. In the midst of his pursuit he meets the royal army on patrol and asks them to help him find his precious book which is a relic of the Mother. Because of the vast area of the market, they decided to split up to look for it.
After a long search, Yueji stopped because he heard a commotion in one of the narrow hallways. He saw a bullying by a group of adults towards a child he seemed to know. When approached it turns out that the child who was experiencing bullying is a thief of his book.
“You think this thing is useful? What did you give it to me for?” screeched one of the bullies who shouted at the child kneeling on the ground. While the thing he was referring to was Yueji's painting book.
** Wait\, the book. . .**
“Bring him!” the boy was dragged away by some people and was about to be taken away
“Stop! Release the boy!” he stopped their steps
“Who are you? How dare you stop me!”he said in a high tone
“Why are you holding this helpless child? Release him!”
“What's the deal with you? This kid pisses me off, I'm just teaching him a lesson so he can work better.”
“So you told him to steal?”
“Stole? How do you know that?”
“He's the owner
the book, tuan” said the child in pain
“Oh, so you have this useless thing?” smirked
“Bos, we take advantage of this golden opportunity. Ask him to make up for it at a high price and we can get a lot of money. .”the cunning plan that came out of the mouths of his men
“You think I don't know that. Without you telling me I understand stupid!” he uses books
“Hey, what are you doing. You can ruin that book! Return it to me!”
“Restore? You have to trade it first for 50 taels of silver and get it back” the debate was inevitable
“What, 50 taels of silver? You're nuts! Why should I pay dearly for my own thing?”
“Mine? This ugly thing is already in my hands, so now it's mine. If you want to get it then you have to pay!”
“On what basis do you consider it yours?”
“Don't mind him boss. He would do anything to get it back. Keep forcing him to make up for it at a high price!”
“Diam Stupid! Don't you need to teach me. I know what I have to do!” snap back
“Master, please save my mother first. She needed help now” held her up while crying at the losers and held her hands with her feet while pleading.
“Your work is not good, why should I help you? Get away from me!” shaking his leg to make him fall
“Hey, don't be rude to him!” crouch down and help him
