Wu Castle:
Sun Xuan stared at the training generals from a bench in the garden. She still quite upset about her soon to be marriage, but felt a little better. Her parents and Aunt and Uncle had left for the village of Wujun 3 weeks ago to offer Xuan to a young man whom no one was familiar with.
Everything had gone back to normal. The chef was cooking again, the maids were cleaning again, and the servants were serving again.
Xuan just wanted to be alone to clear her thoughts, which was impossible at times. Zhou Ying would sometimes come to keep her company, which she didn't mind at all, but at other times, someone else who was annoying would come.
"Why hello there! Fancy meeting you Xuan!"
There was the frustrating voice again. Xuan let out a loud groan, hoping the man would leave her to be. "Hello Lord Gu Shao(1). How may I help you today?" She gritted through her teeth.
The man called Gu Shao sat himself on the bench beside Xuan. "Oh nothing my dear. Is it so bad that I wanted to spend some quality time with you?" His arm slowly made its way around Sun Xuan's shoulder.
"Oh not at all my Lord. I just feel like being alone. To sort out my problems, alone" Xuan emphasized the word alone, hoping the man would understand. Unfortunately, he didn't. She pushed his arm off her shoulders and scooted away.
"Why don't I help you my dear. Together, we can conquer anything." He looked into the sky, with his eyes barely open. He was being full of himself again.
Sun Xuan smiled weakly. "No no, it is all right. I will be fine on my own. Without you." She slowly stood up and stretched. Gu Shao followed and did the same.
"If you are so sure, but if you need any muscle, I will be the only one who can help you there, seeing that I am the best general in Wu." Gu Shao flexed his arms to show off his 'muscle', but nothing was there, not that he noticed.
"Lord Gu Shao, if I wanted someone weak, I would ask Lord Ling Tong." Xuan replied. "Now I bid you good day." She turned away and headed for the castle, passing the training warriors who waved to her.
The man chuckled. "She wants me." Gu Shao put his leg on the bench and posed as if no one was watching. Some of the officers in combat stopped their training and gave him strange looks.
"Let's all point and laugh at Gu Shao!" Gan Ning shouted. He pointed his large sword at the posing man and began laughing. Some of his comrades soon followed, gaining glares from Gu Shao as he walked by.
"You will all be the ones laughing when I defeat you in combat." Gu Shao stuck his nose in the air and strutted towards the castle entrance. More officers began snickering at the man.
Gan Ning was laughing the loudest. "If I wanted to fight someone weak, I would've asked Sun Quan!"
Many more officers joined Gan Ning at laughing. Some even dropped their weapons to hold onto one another for support.
"Hey! I heard that! Don't talk about my stupid brother like that! He's not that weak." A feminine voice exclaimed as a scroll flew past some of the officers and hit Gan Ning on the head.
Sun Shang Xiang marched past the officers angrily. Many of the men stood aside, not wanting to get in the princesses way. She was mumbling curses through her teeth that barely anyone could understand.
Ning tilted his head and watched the Shang Xiang walk away. "It was a joke? Dang that chick has issues." The pirate ran his hand through his hair, ignoring the pain from the scroll.
Lu Meng stood up. "Would you be kind enough as to give me my scroll Gan Ning?" He asked politely as some of the officers went back to training.
"No." Gan Ning said before resuming his fighting with Taishi Ci.
"Cursed pirate." Meng mumbled as he stomped towards his dirty scroll. He bent down to pick up the messy scroll. The words were still readable, but covered with dirt.
Author's Note: Yep here's my filling in chapter. I wrote it cause I was bored, sorry there wasn't much in it. Yes I made Gu Shao annoying.
1- Gu Shao was married to Sun Ce's second daughter before she was wed to Lu Xun according to Wikipedia, but then again, Wikipedia lies. But in my story, he won't be married to her thankfully.
