Silent Love
Part one: Forever Forgotten?
She stood there looking out into the opened field. The cool breeze whipped her hair around while she gazed out into the open. She moved the strands of hair out of her face then looked at the green pasture ahead. There she stood alone with her Oblivion in her right hand and her other smoothing her dark brown hair. Its times like this when she felt safe, when she has her Oblivion in one hand and skill in the other.
The silence was calming to her. She was always getting stressed out lately.
"Lady Huang! Master Zhuge Liang is seeking for your services!" The young strategist of Shu yelled from a distance, breaking the silence.
"Yes, Jiang Wei. Tell Zhuge Liang I'll arrive shortly." She ordered to him.
He nodded and ran off to the camp.
She sighed and started walking towards the camp.
In Liu Bei's tent
"And the arrangements will be made tomorrow, I presume?" The man said holding a white fan in his right hand and staring at the man at the table.
"Yes, but are you positive Lady Huang can handle this, Zhuge Liang?" the man said as he wrote down on a scroll.
"Yes, I am. She is very intelligent and has the skill to make this. It was after all, her idea, my lord." Liang bowed.
"Alright then, it is settled. Did you send in your wife?"
"Yes, Boyue is getting her now."
As the great strategist turned around and faced the green velvet certain door when Ying walked in. She bowed to Bei. Then at her husband.
"Yes, my husband?" She asked.
"Lord Liu Bei wanted to ask about your conventions," He said.
She felt a smile creep through her lips. She was proud of her conventions. She could tell her husband was pretty proud of them too.
"And what about them, may I ask my lord?" She asked.
"I believe you have heard about the upcoming battle, Cheng Du, Yue Ying?" Liu Bei said not looking up at her while he was writing.
"Well, yes, my lord... everyone has," She gave out a low giggle, Witch made her husband shoot her a be-respectful glare.
"Oh, yes, my mistake," he smiled," But I need you to discuss the directions about your new convention, the juggernaut." Liu Bei said finally stopped writing.
"Yes?" She asked.
"Well, the juggernaut, does it obey your every will?" He asked
"Yes, my lord." She answered almost imminently.
"And what does it do to call it a weapon?" he continued.
"Well, my lord, it moves and breathes fire..." She started
"Making it extremely deadly," Zhuge Liang filled in for her.
She shot him a look.
"Yes my lord... very deadly..." She looked at her husband.
"Alright... you two are dismissed." Liu Bei said sensing the tension.
They both bowed and walked out the velvet door.
"Where are you off to my husband?" She asked.
"Studies..." He answered and walked away.
She stared until he was completely gone. Then walked into their tent. She stood there clenching her fist. That Zhuge Liang made her so mad! Husband or not...
She sat on the bed they shared.
'Three years…' she thought 'three years and nothing...they had no relationship.' she thought.
She put her hands to her face and started to cry...
Just like that, her feelings changed. Her anger she had for her husband changed to depression and sadness...
The tears wouldn't stop coming...they were falling like her relationship with her husband...the sleeping dragon...
She has often wondered why he hasn't left her for another. It couldn't be that he loved her...or that's what she thought. She thought she was ugly. Liang only married her for her intellect not her beauty but for her mind...
Would this relationship ever be more then just it is?
Was their relationship forever forgotten?
