Jaw-dropping! You get to see why Zia-Lin chose Samurai as her choice as a date.


Chapter 7: A Princess' Choice

Everyone was still stunned over the fact that Zia-Lin has actually chosen Samurai to be her date and the king was completely furious about his daughter's choice and he immediately stepped in and said to her, "Have you lost your senses completely?! He's a peasant! You're a princess! You shouldn't subject yourself to people who are not our kind!"

"For once, can it be my choice to determine on who I should date?" asked Zia-Lin.

"That's my duty! I decide who is worthy enough for you and I believe that this young man is not right for you!" the king exclaimed.

Samurai clears his throat and he said, "Sir, if I may..."

"Silence!" the king shouted, cutting him off.

Zia-Lin scoffs at that and she couldn't believe that her father is not allowing her to have a say over who she should date and she said, "Daddy, you don't even know him!"

"I know him well enough after that noodle shop! You know better than to date a lowly noodle-shop worker!" the king exclaimed.

Zia-Lin growls at this and she said, "Daddy, he may be that...but at least give me a chance to get to know him. For once, I would like to date someone who's not of royal descent or even someone rich."

All of the servants and royal subjects gasped in surprise after hearing what the princess just said and that further shocked and provoked her father to no limit and he said, "I can't believe you just said that!"

Then, she turned to Samurai and she walked over to him and asked, "Would you like to date me?"

It became really surprising for Samurai to wrap his head around and he blinked his eyes a few times and he replied, "Why me?"

"Because there's something about you that I like and I want to know what it is." Zia-Lin replied.

"But...wouldn't your royal servants think otherwise? I mean...I'm just a person that works for a living to support my family and help contribute." Samurai replied.

Zia-Lin looked at Samurai for a second and she blinked her eyes and said, "I'm willing to take that chance."

The king felt like he was gonna get nowhere for this and he lets out a deep sigh and walked over to the young man and asked, "What is your name?"

"Samurai."

"Samurai? Like the samurai sword?" asked the king.

Samurai nodded his head in response to that and he replied, "Yeah, it is kinda weird that I'm named after a Samurai sword...even though it's really cool."

"And just what are you intentions with my daughter?" asked the king.

Samurai scratched the back of his head after that question was asked and he replied, "You know...I don't really know. I mean, I'm still trying to get over that surprising proposition because I didn't really expect that to happen."

"Did you get my tip?" asked Zia-Lin.

"Yeah, I still got my tip. Thanks." Samurai replied.

The king was even shocked to discover that those coins that she had were left for Samurai only and he asked, "You what?"

"Well...I left a few tips for his service last night." Zia-Lin answered.

"Sir...I know that I don't have a royal bloodline and that I may not be fancy and that I'm into any of that royalty stuff, but I know how to treat others the way they're supposed to be treated...like a real person; one with kindness, dignity and respect...and I'm no better than anyone else. I'm just like everyone." Samurai replied.

Suddenly, that one quality was shown right in front of Zia-Lin and that really made her choose her decision really well and she said, "Looks like I found a date."

The king eventually felt like this was his daughter's choice and even though he opposes it, he can't get in the way of her decisions and he lets out an exasperated sigh and said, "Very well. You may date him."

Zia-Lin smiled and she hugged her father and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"But if the magistrate finds out that my daughter is dating a peasant, it'll be on my head." the king said, with a growl.

"Forget about what the magistrate says. He's always on my good side." Zia-Lin retorted.

After all that, Samurai was both honored and a little nervous that he's gonna date a princess and he hopes that he'll make a good impression on her and maybe keep that to himself and only that. But...someone was not impressed with the princess' choice and it's not just the king that dislikes Samurai...but Macao began to become remotely jealous that even if this is their first date, Macao felt like Samurai is destroying his chances to end up with the princess.

"We will meet again...peasant." Macao said, with a growl.


Sounds like Samurai's found an antagonist...stay tuned for more!
