I Was Married To A Man Half Woman: My Past Life's Unrequited Love

"master Kamui, would you mind giving his Majesty and i some time alone?. We have something important to discuss, i knew that you still need to rest. Don't worry, leave the prince to us." she look at Kamui and saw him slightly nod.

"got it.. i shall take my rest then, please take your time lady Yan and your Highness please excuse me." He bowed and walk away without looking back.

She look at the door before turning her gaze to the emperor "now uncle, let us talk about Lenard.. what are you planning to do once he wake up?"

"you know very well the unspoken rules we, the royal family and the nobles has. I can't just change my decision however i can twist it a little"

"how?. Won't it affect your duty as the ruler of our kingdom?. What if they look for a loop hole to ruin you?."

"don't worry even if they do, im still the King of the kingdom they were living, i can somehow delay their plan but for now it is the least of the problem we're facing."

"what do you mean?. uncle don't tell me those greedy old men are on the move again?. What is the status?."

-_- "well you nailed it my dear... they are after my sons life"

"you mean it was them that poisoned Lenard?"

Touching his temple he said "yup, and not only that.. there are some royal accomplices from Greyscale kingdom"

"to tell you the truth i was planning to oppose the up coming marriage for Lenard but now, we have to do it fast. We have to get as much help and connections that we need. Its not only us who will suffer but our people as well" she sip her coffee as she add "but uncle, we must not force him to marry a wife"

"you mean?, very well. You had a point, we can marry him to as many noble concubine as needed to appease their hunger to power at the same time Lenard will not need to suffer from their power. At least for two years, till then i will give him the freedom to choose a wife, someone he will love"

"that is a good plan uncle, i shall support in that.. oh did you forget something uncle?" she look at him and smile

"forget what?" he tilted his head and ask "oh that, of course you may. You have my word."

"then i shall find one suitable bride for my dear cousin regarding her status or tittle"

"ok but Yukihina, be careful not to be caught. I just wish that by the time you find a suitable wife for him is that, im still well and alive and still have power to protect all of you that i hold dear"

"let me tell you three things uncle, as a physician, a strategist and as a family"

"ok, im all ears" he straightened his back and slowly put down the fork and knife he is using on eating the cake and look straight at her niece

"first as a physician, since you were trying to live a long life. If i were you uncle, i will not abuse my body and mind on thinking about the farther future. Everything changes, if you are thinking about the future problem then leave it to your future self. You have to forget about the past and accept the fact laying in front of you while doing your best to stay alive on the present to reach the future you are aspiring to have"

"second as a strategist, if i were the enemy i will surely leave you alive for five more years"

"and why is that? isn't it much better to erase a hindrance rather than taking him alive and throwing garbage at his back"

"wrong.. would you like the people of our kingdom to turn into a rebels?. If they do that then not only will they lose many of their men but they will lose too the kingdom they are trying to conquer!. Listen uncle, in five years they will do every thing to get your power by oppressing the people that are loyal to you specially the big power houses that belong to the three noble clans. There is no way that this battle will end so soon, it will drag for three to four years and on the fifth year, probably they will finally take your life and your throne away from you and will take your family's life to avoid further trouble to the future.

He slammed the desk which made it broke into two not to mention her prized pen that never jump away this time but break into pieces instead "hmm ruthless.. ruthless indeed!. I will not let any of them lay a hand on my family and people!"

As the atmosphere on the room gets colder the emperor thought that its normal because winter is coming but he never thought that he will lose his prized pin as he made the biggest mistake of the month.

"Kercheise Luna" Yukihina utter his full name indicating that she is truly mad. She coldly instruct the Emperor to pay her by paying the same price "this isn't a request but a command. As a price for breaking my pen, you will give me you prized pin, i will not take no for an answer."

She look at him like she was going to devour him whole she said "as an Emperor isn't it right to pay a debt since it was not that of a big deal for you, am i right your highness?"

Not big deal my foot!. It was from your father!.. how am i going to just give it to you!!! He cried in his heart "Yukihina ahm.. i can give you anything just not that pin OK?" he look at her in fear as he was seeing his angry wife in the angry Yukina. Hew saw a cold eyes and he shiver. Swallowing the words of complains he was about to say. He could only complied like a child "o-OK.. its in my study room, you may take the pin in my place.. "

"i will wait for it then.." she walk away and sit at the chair beside Lenard "what are you waiting for? Get it!"

"oooo - k.. please wait, i will get it now!!" he run away from the room and sprint like his life depend on it "how come im blessed with a frightening wife and a frightening niece?!"

As soon as the king out from her sight she heave a long sigh, shaking her head in embarrassment "he was such an hopeless uncle"

I was not able to say the third one, it is just simple "i won't let you die even if it means my death.. my dear uncle" she smiled and said "but i would not tell you that hahah, you will only worry for nothing as you are an airhead!"

-----

Looking at her sleeping grandma she sigh,. "goodnight grandma" she put a thick blanket around her grandma and walk away "i have to find grandpa before grandma wake up"

As soon as she open the door, a cold wind greeted her as she walk outside feeling all her hair stand up "damn it! It isn't winter yet but damn so cold!"

She look around the house hoping to see her grandfather walk in her sight but alas she found nothing. She walk farther from home by going to a place where her grandpa usually make his crafts, its fifteen minutes away but found none, so she went next to the nearest river which took her twenty minutes by running and as soon as she arrived she walk beside it but found nothing, as she has been looking for his grandpa her legs started to feel off coupled with the cold wind she sit beside the lake at the top of a big rock.

Looking at afar place "where are you grandpa?." She wipe her eyes that started to get wet "don't let me found you grandpa because i will not forgive you ever!. You're such a bad old man making me and grandma worry" she lay her aching back at the rock and look at the twinkling stars when suddenly a meteor pass through the sky making a very beautiful scenery. "whoa!..."

"ah right wish.. let me see ahmm..." she closed her eyes and cup her hands "please help me find my grandfather" she smiled as soon a she finished uttering her wish and stand up to continue looking.

"i've got to hurry, grandma will probably wake up soon... its getting misty just a bit more and sun will rise..i think" she scratched her feet and walk again.

As she was walking at the nearest forest "OK, if i still not find you here i will go back home and check if grandma is still asleep so that i could continue my search"

Along the way she saw a firefly happily dancing in the air, as it entertained her she followed it while singing

"i set out on a narrow way many years ago

Hoping i would find true love along the broken road

But i got lost a time or two

Watch my frown can't pushing through

I couldn't see how every sign pointing straight to you

Every long lone street lead me to where you are

Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars

Pointing me on my way into your loving arms

This much i know oh oh its true

That God Bless the broken road

And lead me straight to you..

What i saw at the end of the bridge are numerous fireflies dancing joyfully as it lit everything around it. For the first time in my life i saw thousands of fireflies hovering in the wind as if rejoicing..

However as a strong wind pass through me, as it washes away the mist surrounding the area. What made me cry is the sight of my grandfathers dead body sitting beside the old deep well. A blood stained near his c.h.e.s.t and spot of blood around him. For the first time in my life, the light that always lit my path now blew away my light of hope.
