Romance of the DW Pairings
Gan Ning and Sun Shang Xiang
Sun Shang Xiang couldn't believe her brother lied to her about her mother, but she still worried about her mother that she must abandon one lover to get another. But, her feelings for her former lover were all true and now she heard rumors that Liu Bei re married to the sister of the general Wu Yi. Love isn't supposed to be fair, but come on; her brother lied out of jealousy of Liu Bei's rise. Another question is, was Gan Ning jealous before she left to Liu Bei?
"Uh, princess? Got a moment?" Gan Ning asked.
"Of course, but I'm kind of in a bad mood right now because of my brother," Sun Shang Xiang said.
"I think your brother is worry about you, to be honest. However, just wanted to say that I'm not jealous," Gan Ning said.
"The moment I left Wu to Liu Bei made me think you are…" Sun Shang Xiang sighed.
"No and what your brother did was uncalled for. I understand how you feel about your mother, as she was the one that made you what kind of tough woman you are and independent type. It's my time, but my lord is wrong no matter what my loyalty lays. I wish I had the guts to speak him out, but it will be my head or prison if I did criticize his acts," Gan Ning said.
"It's like that, I'm a prized treasure of the Sun family, what's my use is this," She show herself like an object.
"Well, I admit pirates think of ladies like that, but to have your brother lie to you? I think, I'll give him my attention once our army march at Ru Xu Ku," Gan Ning said.
"Wei is the greater threat," Sun Shang Xiang turns her attention at the river.
"Yeah, but your brother believe Shu are too, maybe that's why he wants you back safely in case he might think of breaking up the alliance to get Jing," Gan Ning presumed.
"Shu has no intention of going to war for land. Just taking the Cao family out of power and restoring the legitimate authority to the emperor," Sun Shang Xiang protested.
"Hey, I don't want the alliance to break up, but my blood is boiling for a challenge and I've been thinking of getting a real fight against the best Shu has to offer. Right now, I'm going to avenge the lost at Hei Fei…" Gan Ning prepares for his duty.
"Make the Sun family proud my lord," Sun Shang Xiang said sarcastically.
"I'm doing this for the brave soldiers that died to serve and protect the lands of Jiang Dong, well except Ling Tong…" Gan Ning grinned.
"How is Ling Tong by the way?" Sun Shang Xiang asked.
"A lot better than the pirate hater he used to be when I saved him at Hei Fei," Gan Ning laughed.
"I'm glad something changed during my return," Sun Shang Xiang smiled.
"It's nothing, I was going to apologize and reason with him that I honor my opponents when they're defeated," Gan Ning said.
"A pirate with honor, that's what is so special about you that I loved," Sun Shang Xiang said.
Before Gan Ning could finish his chatting with the princess, he wants to say this one chance before he'll regret the stubbornness of not telling his feelings for her.
"Shang Xiang, what I really wanted to say is that I really like you. I mean, I love you, but your brother will not see me in you as the kind of husband you wanted. I am a hero, but I'm a pirate another curse of the Sun family's existence and I once serve the murder of your father Huang Zu, I don't like that bastard, but be glad your father can rest in peace," Gan Ning bowed and take his leave.
Out of honesty, she feels amaze of her friend's confession, but also sadden her how forbidden the two can come together as an item with the one being controlling them both.
"Gan Ning, wait?" Sun Shang Xiang stopped him.
"I must carry out my duty, Princess. Please don't make this any more difficult for me to break my loyalty to my lord," Gan Ning warned.
"Will you die for my brother?" Sun Shang Xiang questioned.
He sighed and thinks about all the past deeds he done at Liu Biao's force, Huang Zu, and now the Sun family. Is it coincidence?
"No…" He finally answered and walks quietly to prepare for war.
Love still is not fair, but it never dies till death to them part.
