Chapter14: That's a Dumb Princess!

It was morning time and only a few Wu Generals have wakened up…actually only two which would be Xiao and Lin. As soon as Lin finished washing up, she and Xiao ate breakfast together and alone. They had to make their breakfast since the maids doesn't come until another hour.

"Aren't you excited to see the princess, Lin?" Xiao asked while eating breakfast.

"No. What about you? Isn't that why you're up so early?"

"Nah, I'm only up early because I gotta' go and pick up some fruits."

"Why?"

"'Don't know, it must be another odd habit of mine I got when I was younger, or probably because I like to see the squirrels and monkeys on the trees when I climb them."

"I see what you mean. I think I should leave now."

"Yeah, me too," said Xiao.

"Well then, see you later."

"Uh-huh, you too," said Xiao.

After that they left. Xiao went to the market and bought some mangos, grapes, and tangerines, and she also climbed a few trees and received some, apples, oranges, peaches, and berries. In the other hand, Lin went to explore the city a bit more enjoying herself while she can before she meets the princess.

(Two Hours Later, 9:30AM, the Dining Room of Wu…)

"Hey, Zhou Tai, have you seen either Xiao or Lin?" asked Lu Xun.

"Sorry, but I haven't. Why don't you ask one of the maids that arrive early?" said Zhou Tai.

"Good idea," considered Lu Xun.

He did ask all the maids, but they didn't know where either of Xiao or Lin was.

"Lu Xun," said Zhou Yu.

"Uh, yeah?" said Lu Xun.

"Don't worry about Xiao; she just went out a while ago to get some fruits," Zhou Yu explained.

"Why?"

"'Not sure, she once told me that it was an odd habit of hers is all."

"Oh, okay."

"But I am a bit sorry I can't tell you where Lin is, though," said Zhou Yu.

"Nah, it's alright."

So Lu Xun planned to eat breakfast then continue his search for Lin.

As soon as Lu Xun finished eating breakfast, he saw Xiao walk by down the hall. He got up and approached her. "Uh, Xiao," he started.

"Yeah?" said Xiao.

"Not to bug you, but… have you've seen Lin anywhere?"

"Hmm…" she thought. " I did see her this morning before we departed."

"Oh, I see."

"Why?"

"'J-just wondering!" Lu Xun said nervously.

"I can so tell you want her to meet this 'Princess'!" said Xiao holding up her mid and index fingers posing the quote thing.

"I guess so."

"Well, I mentioned it to her earlier today, but…"

"…but…?" Lu Xun said waiting for her to finish.

"…but, I don't think she really cares, seeing how she reacted from my opinion."

"She doesn't care, why not?"

"Dunno! Why don't ask her!"

"Because she's not here!"

"Didn't you see her walk down the hall, you Half-Witted Idiot!"

"Sorry, but when did she come back!"

"She just walked down the hall a minute ago!" Xiao shouted in Lu Xun's face.

"Gee, thanks!"

"Hmp! You're mostly welcome," she mumbled sarcastically on 'mostly.'

So after the 'argument,' Lu Xun went to find Lin by tracing the steps she went by. When he went to another hallway, he saw Lin's door close so he went in front of it and knocked it gently. "Yes?" he heard a weak voice from inside the door. He went in and there he saw Lin. When Lu Xun came in, Lin turned around and looked at him. "Yes?" Lin repeated.

"I wanted to ask you something," Lu Xun said.

"What is it?"

"Why do you mot want to meet the princess?"

Lin's eyes widen a bit. "Because…"

"…Because of what?" Lu Xun said.

"…Nothing, just leave me alone!" she said shoving Lu Xun away so she can get out of her room. When she got out of her room, she quickly ran out.

"What's with her?" Lu Xun asked himself. After that, Lu Xun was just walking around and checking up on things until Gan Ning showed in front of him.

"Hey Lu Xun," began Gan Ning.

"Uh, yeah?" said Lu Xun.

"Do you know where's lil' ol' Lin? All generals of Wu HAS to meet this 'princess' in three minutes, so I'd go to the Lil' Conquerors room now. Well, gotta' get goin', see ya' there," said Gan Ning.

"Yeah you too," said Lu Xun.

'Well I spent a minute on that small conversation, not that I mind, but… whatever, I mind as well go there now. Lin will probably be there already…I hope,' Lu Xun thought. After that, he quickly walked Sun Ce's room.

When he came in Sun Ce's room, he saw all of the other generals standing and waiting to see the princess who's been staying in this kingdom for a while and who no one has even saw but Sun Jian. Well, anyways, when he came in he saw Lin at the far corner. 'Thank Goodness she's here,' he thought.

"Lin, c'mon, let's go up to the front and get a better view of this princess," suggested Da walking towards Lin.

"No thanks, you go up ahead if you like, Da," said Lin quietly looking down at the floor.

"Um, never mind, I'll just stay here with you," Da said standing next to Lin.

"So will I," said Xiao joining Da and Lin.

"Yeah, me too, I bet I'll get another shot of seeing her up close afterwards," said the boyish princess, Sun Xiang Shang.

"Thanks you guys," Lin thanked quietly.

"Hah, no problem" said the Wu Princess.

"Shhh! The princess's coming!" whispered Da.

'Yeah whatever,' Shang Xiang thought.

The Wu Generals looked towards the door where the princess was about to come out. All the female generals of Wu were with Lin in the far corner so they wouldn't really get the best view of the princess, but like they'll give care.

So anyways, everyone was staring at the door curiously. In a few seconds, the door slowly opened and everyone, but the ladies, was beyond excited. Finally, after these long past few seconds, the princess showed up! The princess had brown hair down to her back; she was very pale and had light brown eyes. Not only that but she also wore a red robe over her red dress.

"Thank you all for saving me from the Shu Army," said the princess in her medium voice. "My name is Tei Gung Pa," soon off she began her speech that went blah-blah-blah! After her speech, everyone was now allowed to encounter the princess and chat with her.

"Hmp, the princesses here, Shang Xiang, Lin, and Niang, are prettier than her," Xiao said just looking at her.

"Thanks… but don't forget you and Da, Xiao," said Lin.

"Whaddya' mean?" Xiao asked.

"Da and you are, like, princesses of Beauty and Grace here," Lin said. "My sister and I are princesses of our land as Shang Xiang is the Princess of Wu."

"Ah, I see!" Xiao said.

"Hey you guys, I'm going to hang with Sun Ce, looks like the princess is with him and Zhou Yu too," said Da.

"W-wait, I'm coming with you!" said Xiao following up with Da.

Shang Xiang and Lin giggled. "Well, looks like the princess's getting her groove on," said the Wu Princess.

"Yes, I guess," Lin said.

"Uh, shouldn't you do something?"

"Huh?"

"'Seems like she's getting her groove on with your man, Lu Xun."

Lin blushed and blurted out, "My man! Well, look! She's hitting on Gan Ning as well!" Lin shouted pointing her index finger at Gan Ning.

"Oh, great, coming with me?"

"No thanks, I think I'll pass."

"Suit your self," said the Wu princess and off she went. Lin stared at them for a while than she left outside to the backyard.

Hours later, when Lin sat on the tree she heard someone sit by her.

"Hey, Lin," said Lu Xun.

"Hey yourself," she said quietly.

"Hm? What's your problem?"

"…Nothing."

"Ya' know, of all the people of the whole kingdom, you're the only person who hasn't met the princess."

"…So…?" Lin said blinking slowly though her eyes are half way opened.

"Not only that, but you haven't even said anything about her!"

"So? Like I care! You came just to tell me that!" shouted Lin. Suddenly, she hopped off the tree and began walking back inside.

"H-hey, where you going!" said Lu Xun trying to stop her.

"I'm going to bed!" she said.

'Oh, gosh,' thought Lu Xun. So he thought of following her to her room and reason with her.

When Lin went in her room, she quickly closed the door and fall on her bed. As soon as she fell on her bed, the door quickly opened.

"Go away, Lu Xun," Lin said burying her face into her pillow knowing that it was him.

"What's wrong with you lately?" Lu Xun said.

"Nothing, just leave me alone," Lin said turning the other way where her face faced the ceiling. Lu Xun sat next to her and said, "You sure? Because seems like something's bothering you lately."

"…" Lin just closed her eyes.

"Seriously, tell me," Lu Xun said.

"No thanks, I'll pass," she said sitting up.

"Are you sure?"

"…I guess," Lin never or couldn't lie that very well.

Lu Xun moved his face closer to Lin. That made her nervous so she covered her face with her hands and said, "Just stop it, please."

Lu Xun grinned and grabbed her hands away from her face with his. "Well, I can't force it out of you, I guess," Lu Xun said. He loosened Lin's collar from her dress and kissed her pushing her lying back down on her bed. They closed their eyes. "Do you remember," Began Lu Xun opening his light brown eyes, "the day of our wedding?"

"Yes," said Lin, "next month… on the first Thursday." Lin opened her dark brown eyes as well. 'That's right, I'm his fiancé,' Lin thought.

"Do you," Lin said, Lu Xun looked at her, "want to know what bond I have with the princess?" Lin offered.

"Uh, sure," Lu Xun said.

"She's my cousin and my sister's," Lin said.

"Is that why you dislike her?" said Lu Xun.

"No, she was always mean, greedy, dumb, evil…" and so on because Lin got a bit carried away with the detail.

"Okay, I get the point. Just continue," Lu Xun said.

"Oh, okay. Anyways she always bugged me and my sister, not only that but blaming us and imitating us."

"How is she the princess of your land? I mean, you are the Crown Princess of the Hai Land, right?"

"Yeah, 'least I was until Hai got destroyed."

"That doesn't explain why Miss Pa is the princess of Hai," Lu Xun commented.

"True, I don't know what's up with that, but…"

"…but…"

"…but I haven't been in Hai for a long time. So I don't how it looks like right now or is."

"I see. So what do you want me to do about Miss Pa?"

"Just don't do anything personal or bad with her I guess."

"'That it?"

"Hmm…for now I suppose," said Lin.

"Alright, it's getting late. I should be leaving. Goodnight!" Lu Xun said leaving out at the door waving.

"Goodnight," said Lin. Lin yawned. 'Hmm, I should go to sleep as well,' Lin thought.

And so she did.
