I woke the next morning to a beautiful sunrise which means only one thing. Dawn. "What a beautiful dawn……wait…DAWN?! Oh, no!! Training starts today!!!" I quickly shot out of my bed to put on my armor and uniform. My armor wasn't heavy, but it was strong and durable. An easy combat. I rushed out of the palace doors to meet the rest of the soldiers in a giant pack, awaiting my father's speech.

"You're late, Lady Lucaria."

I looked in front of myself to see none other than the handsome general Zhao Yun.

Lucaria) "Y-Yun!! I overslept, heheh.."

I felt my cheeks flush as he smiled that adorable, sexy smile. I flushed even more when I saw his beautiful hazel-green eyes staring me down...not in a bad way I assumed, but I guess an examination to see how I was dressed. He walked towards me and took my hand. Surprisingly, it felt warm and smooth. I expected it to be rough and covered in blisters from the way he always had been training with his spear. My heart raced as he looked into my eyes.

Zhao Yun) "Come on, you belong with us generals in the front."

Lucaria) "O-okay…s-sure…" I managed to stammer. I was still star-stricken by the feeling of his hands.

I knew that this was caused by one thing, I fell for him. Hard. I never really talked with Zhao Yun in the past few years, let alone known him better. But last night…last night made me realize that I needed a man like him. Strong, smart, quick, passionate, caring, and protective. And many others as well, but I don't feel like explaining that. He led me to the front with the other generals, I had seen my favorite general, Pang Tong. He and I were like siblings, yet him just maybe 3 times older than me…? He looked at me and chuckled.

Pang Tong) "I see you've fallen for young Zhao Yun.."

I looked down in embarrassment, knowing he was right. "He's…different…from all those other men whom I COULD marry…"

Pang Tong) "I think he'd be perfect for you, the age difference isn't all that bad, like your father says. You're 17, I believe…?"

Lucaria) "18"

Pang Tong) "Ah, 18 years of age. And Zhao Yun is about 23 I believe…I think it is a perfect compatibility."

I blushed and looked a few others next to me, I saw Yun looking up at my now arriving father. Yun was so beautiful when he was serious…I didn't want to seem like annoying fan girl but he did. I mouthed to him. "I love you". Of course, he was looking at my father, not paying attention to me.

Liu Bei) "We have now parted from Wu! We have now engaged in a great war with Wu and Wei! There will be many battles, and there will be many lives lost. But that is a chance we are willing to take in order to conquer this country and achieve the Shu Dynasty!!!"

The people and the soldiers roared in approval. I stayed silent, my eyes wide. Lu Xun…. I thought. My best friend was in this war. And I had to fight him to the death. Until this war was over. My prediction came true…and if Sun Jian made this same speech…I was sure that Xun felt the same way.

After a full day of training, we went back to the palace to eat and rest for tomorrows training. Luckily, it didn't begin at dawn. It began at noon, so I could sleep longer and not oversleep.

I bathed in the creek with the small waterfall just east of the palace. The water was cold, but somewhat relaxing. I went under the waterfall and let the cold water just fall upon my head, the water was up to my waistline. I heard a crackle in the bushes and I almost immediately covered my bare breasts and hid behind a nearby rock. I waited and watched through a small gap to find out who it was. It was Zhao Yun. He seemed to be taking off his armor and robes, until he was completely nude. I flushed a million colors. The great Zhao Yun, bathing in the same creek as I was! Nude! He pulled out his hair band and let his long, luscious, dark brown locks fall to his collarbone. I couldn't take my eyes off of the god in front of me, especially from the size of his manhood. Then I began to wonder what it looked like…erected. I shook the thought out of my head and mentally slapped myself. As he fully let himself into the creek, he let out a smooth groan of relief.

The groan set me off. I began to back away but unfortunately I bumped into a small but large rock that fell in the water and made a loud splash. He opened his eyes and grabbed his spear.

Zhao Yun) "HALT! Who goes there?? Show yourself!"

I came out from behind the rock, covering my breasts so he wouldn't see them. He let his guard back down and put his spear back.

Zhao Yun) "Oh, Lucaria, it's just you. Why are you here…? Were you bathing too…?"

Lucaria) "Y-yes, I was."

I covered my breasts more; I was always embarrassed by the size of my breast. They weren't too big, but they weren't too small. Maybe the size of the grapefruits that Master Sun Ce picked off the tree in the valley outside of the Wei encampment. I walked closer to Yun and I sat next to him shyly. Luckily, when I sat down, the water covered my breasts. He looked at me comfortingly, like he wasn't afraid to be next to a nude woman. Pang Tong reminded me that Yun was a virgin as far as he knew.

Zhao Yun) "Is something wrong?"

I looked at him to find that he was staring right back at me with the beautiful eyes that made my heart melt. "Y-Yun…?" I finally decided that I wanted to tell him how I felt. And my father always told me that actions spoke louder than words.

Zhao Yun) "Yes…?"

Without thinking, I leaned forward and kissed him. His lips were warm and soft. Then to my surprise, he kissed back. The way he kissed me was hot, and passionate. I couldn't help but press my body against his, my breasts against his chest, his chest felt warm even in cold water. He put his hand on the back of my neck to make the kiss even deeper. His tongue trailed across my lip and I let him in….
