Liam Drelavine : No Regrets! - Chapter 11

 Rainbow Exhibition

'"Where is he?" Her father's hard tone wake up Li amm from her daydreaming.'

'"Oh..he is in front of the gate. I'll call him." Li Amm said and was about to turn when her father stopped her

holding her arm.'

'"Let me." Her father said controlling the anger in his voice.'

''Who is this despicable man that seduced his daughter?!!''

'He did not wait for Li amm's reply and walked out. His mind was planning what kind of torture he would inflict to the man. That man would not die easily!'

'Li amm cringed. She knew that her father would not take this matter easily.'

'"My daughter. ...is the man your talking is really the man you want to be your husband?" A soft tone asked. Li amm looked at her beautiful mother. She held her mother's hand and hugged her arm.'

'"Yes

mother. I already decided. This man is exceptional. I'm already sixteen

there will come a time that you have to send me to marriage--" well

depends if I want or not "---and I want the man I'll marry is the man I chose personally." Li amm said while patting her mother's back. This lovely woman would help her convinced her father to agree to her marriage.'

'Lady Lhi looked at her beautiful daughter. Indeed her daughter was already a woman. She already passed the marriage age. If she did not marry by this year

people would look down on her. She would suffer on the future if they delayed more. Li amm was their precious treasure. Even she did not want Li Amm to marry and leave her home she also knew that Li amm would not stay in their household forever. It was better if her daughter's husband was the man whom she chooses. She was quite relieved but pained at the same time. She looked at her husband's back. Her eyes were full of worry. Knowing her husband

Amm De would threatened this man and might crippled him.'

'"Li amm

my daughter

let's follow your father. I'm afraid your father will do something bad." Lady Lhi held Li amm and they followed Amm De.'

'The young man was still clothed in dark robes. His face was still covered in black cloth. While waiting

he was observing the residence. This residence was really big that he wondered what was bigger

his home or this residence? By observing every tile and stone he could deduced that the woman's background was not simple.'

''Who is her father in imperial capital?''

'With this kind of residence for sure her father's position might be in second rank or first rank official'

''Or more...''

'He squinted his eyes when he saw a figure walking towards him. He really hoped that her father was not a prime minister. More precisely

not the right Prime Minister.'

'However as the man coming clearer to his view

his mood sank. But then he thought'

''Maybe her father was only working for him? Or they were servants living in the De residence?''

'Then he smiled bitterly. He forgot to ask the complete name of the girl earlier. He only knew she was called Li.'

'When the middle-aged man was in front of Ren Shou

his eyes turned sharp and he looked at the middle aged man coldly.'

'The middled-aged man was shocked when he took a closer look at the young man. This...he did not expect his daughter to bring one of the deadly figure of the battlefield. Who did not know of Ren Black Army? ( A/ N: probably Li amm XD)'

'There were three leaders in the said army. The two were from unknown background but as a prime minister he knew they were from foreign lands. The two were called with different names. Guardians/ left and right general . Their trade mark was black robes and black cloth covering their faces. They did not wear any armor for they did not need it. They could block the arrow with their swords. That's how almighty they were in the battlefield. No one knew their looks since they were covering it in the whole time. With their token in their hips- a wood with the size of three fingers with written characters 'Ren Black Army' carved on it - told him he was not wrong.'

'It never occurred to his mind that the one was standing to him was the general himself

the commander of the two figures he was praising about. Since the new general was a god of a battlefield

no way the mighty general would fancy his daughter in just one meeting. For what he knew of that man

was that general never trust anyone.'

'Prime minister Amm De calmed his anger. Even he was angry and wanted to yelled at the man to back off

he had to be polite.'

'So he bowed slightly and greeted.'

'" I thank this young man for returning my daughter safely-" Under the cloth mask

Ren Shou's eyes went wide. Daughter..'

'"--this father is thankful. You are welcome to stay and have tea from our humble house

consider it as a repayment for escorting my daughter."'

'Ren Shou calmed himself. He could not believe that the girl she was searching for years turned out to be this man's daughter. He felt a bitter taste in his mouth.'

''Why? Why fate hate me so much? Even the girl I wanted to trust....is a daughter's enemy.''

'He was frozen for a moment. He did not answer. His mind was blank as his heart was black and become darker as the time passed. Should he continue his oath to bring this girl in his household? What if she becomes a spy? What if she was more loyal to her father

which was reasonable . She would surely choose her father than him. He just found the girl

but now....he did not expect this.'

'Out of frustration

he laughed. His laugh was resounding in the residence. It was not a laugh out of joy but out of bitterness. Fate seemed to really hate him so much.'

'When he was about to answer

his gaze went into the figure who was coming towards them. His words caught on his throat.'

'"Father! Did you threaten him?" Li amm asked the moment she came closer to the two.'

'"Wha--how can I?!" His father was shocked. 'This girl...why she would think of that?!''

'Li amm did not believe him. But she was also not worried. His father was talking to a general. And she believed this general would not easily back down. So she stepped closer to Ren Shou and hugged his left arm.'

'"Father

this is the man I want to marry. You should agree. If I did not marry him

who would I marry? I tell you father

I would not marry other man except him! So if you not agree to marry me to him

I will stay as an old lady!" Li amm threatened. Well

she was pampered in this life. Why not take advantage of it? She was a good child in her first lifetime

so let's be spoiled in this lifetime. Besides

she would not let go of this deal

most of her 'to do list' would be accomplished if she become his wife. The two men were shocked.'

'Amm De was shocked that his daughter would really choose this man as her husband. They just met once... Why make an oath like that!'

'Ren Shou could not believe that this girl would say these words.'

'Did she just played cat-and-dogs to him earlier? (a/n: I don't know what it means. I just find it here when I edited it. Who wrote this?) She even lied to him that she was already married. What changed her mind? Nevertheless

the heavy feeling he had earlier dissipated quickly. Like a light was shining in his dark world. Warmth spread to his heart. Soothing him a little that his life was not as bad as he thought it was. His mind was now clearer. So what if she was a daughter's enemy? He would just seduce her to stay in his side. And wasn't better that the man's heart would be broken because his daughter was siding him? Even his daughter would choose to become his wife. Yes. He should not lose this chance. So he circled his arm around Li amm's waist.'

'"I would like to take her hand and ask for your permission." 'But it didn't matter what your opinion is.''

'Amm De's face became dark. Would he give his only daughter?! The answer was no!!'

'"Shadow guards..." Amm De said.'

'Twelve black-clothed men with a De wooden token around their waist appeared.'

'Li amm brows were furrowed. She did not expect things to happen like this.'

'"Father! It is daylight! You should not murder someone and leave witnesses alive! See--" she pointed the crowded people that watching them. Mind you they were outside the gate. They already got an audience when she came with a man covered in black cloth from head to toe

but the number increased when more men in black appeared.'

'Hearing this

Ren Shou looked at Li Amm. Why he felt there was something wrong in her words?'

'Amm De looked at their surroundings. But then the words of Li amm registered in his mind. His daughter still cared for him. His anger was gone and he felt a soft tug on his sleeve. He turned to that source and found his wife with a worried face.'

'"Husband

let them be. Li amm was already a woman. If we want her to be happy then we must agree. This is the man she chose. I can be at ease if she is with the man she trusts." Lady Lhi said with a soft voice.'

'Amm De's gaze become soft. He contemplated his wife's words. When he looked at Ren Shou his gaze turned sharp and menacing. Still

he would not give his daughter to any man.'

'"Fine. I'll invite you in our house and let's have a talk." Amm De said. He held his wife's hand to walk back to their courtyard.'

'Li amm sighed. She really had a protective father. She looked at Ren Shou and said.'

'"That's my father

obviously. Let's go inside. For sure he will interrogate you. Be prepared." She walked the first step but an arm stopped her. She looked at Ren Shou who was holding her arm.'

'"I-" Li amm raised her eyebrow. 'Going to back down now?''

'"Y-you...you'll stay by side right?"'

''Ehh? What kind of question is that?''

'"Didn't I already told my father that I will not marry other man beside you?" 'You're a good catch ...what made you think I will let go of you?''

'Hearing her answer

Ren Shou relaxed a little. But still

he had to make sure.'

'"You promise?"'

''Ehh?? Why is it familiar?''

'"Yes

I do." She could not help but rolled her eyes. 'Geez this man''

'"Okay " Then he let go of her arm and they walked towards the De's courtyard.'

'After having tea with her parents and her future husband

his father dismissed her together with lady Lhi to talked alone with Ren Shou.'

'Inside the room

only Amm De and Ren Shou left.'

'Amm De calmed posture turned into a fearsome lion that ready to pounce at Ren Shou.'

'"Who are you? The left general? Or the right general?"'

'Amm De asked. His aura was pressuring Ren Shou. However

Ren Shou was a martial artist. He easily countered it with his own aura

his aura was heavier and his killing intent arisen. Amm De gulped. This...this was the aura of a war veteran! Unknowingly

he respected the young man.'

'Ren Shou took off his cloth mask

revealing a beautiful handsome face. He bowed slightly and the corner of his mouth was raised while he was introducing himself.'

'"I am the newly appointed general

a royal relative of the emperor

the fifth prince

Ren Shou."'

'Amm De's eyes turned wide. His face turned once again into a rainbow exhibition in a darker shades.'
