"Unbelievable! How dare Shuo Gang and father make that decision! Why!? Why do I have to be the princess of the Fire tribe!? I hate it! I hate this life! Aaaaa!!!"

You're probably wondering why I'm saying things like these. The attack that was supposed to happen didn't happen. Why? It's because the bear tribe has a new king, Hei Feng, who is now an ally of our tribe.

It was all going smoothly isn't it? Not until my brother asked for the ice leaf. King Hei Feng, that furry beast, told my brother that he would only give the ice leaf if I marry him. I immediately disagreed.

My brother though, without a second thought, quickly agreed. I was so angry but I calmed myself. Maybe father would not let me? So, I then sent my messenger owl to the ice kingdom. However, before it could go far Shuo Gang killed it.

I was about to argue with him when father's messenger owl came. Hope filled my heart. I guess father heard about it already. He would definitely not let me marry that beast.

That hope was crushed though when father ordered me to follow Shuo Gang's decision. How could he? And here I thought, that for once he is going to stand up for me.

I feel betrayed and hurt. The fire tribe always comes first before me. Although, they decided to hold a battle for my hand in marriage. It didn't do anything to ease the pain I'm feeling.

I couldn't take it anymore so here I am in the river bank. Crying and shouting my heart out. I was deeply in my thoughts that I didn't notice Yun Fei approaching until he called out my name.

"Princess," he said. "It's getting late. We should head back."

"What are you doing? Were you watching me cry?" I asked as I brush off the tears on my cheeks. He just smiled. Jerk. "It's not like it's the first time. Princess during the battle you could just kill King Hei Feng."

"Kill him?" That's not a bad idea. Why didn't I think of that?

I smiled. "You really know how to cheer me up." I want to hug him but I can't so I just punched his chest playfully.

"Your Highness since you are happy now. Can you give me the Heart Scorcher's antidote now?" he seriously asked. Heh, he's so honest and straightforward.

"If you really want the antidote," I said while pulling him closer so that our bodies are almost touching.

" Find a way to kill that furry beast without implicating me. Or else don't even dream in getting the antidote." I then let go of him and walk back into the camp.

She's crying again. I don't like it. Tears do not fit her at all. I wanted to go and comfort her. But I stopped myself. If anyone saw us, it will get her in more trouble. So, I just watched her for a while as she lets her anger and frustrations out.

When I saw her calm down a bit, I called out to her. "Princess, it's getting late. We should head back to the camp."

She's pouting? How adorable.

"What are you doing? Were you watching me cry? She asked as she brushes off the tears on her cheeks.

I just smiled. "It's not like it's the first time. Princess, during the battle you could just kill King Hei Feng."

"Kill him?" she softly asked then she suddenly smiled. Ta- thump. What the-? These feelings again! I could feel my heart beating faster because of that smile. Damn it! Ying Kong Shi, control yourself!

"You really know how to cheer me up," she said still smiling so beautifully. I found myself unable to look away.

Enough! I then subtly pinch my arm. Ying Kong Shi remember why you are here! "Your Highness since you are happy now. Can you give me the Heart Scorcher's antidote now?" I seriously asked.

She smirked cheekily. "If you really want the antidote," she said while pulling me closer to her. $h! t! She's so close! There's only a very small gap between us!

" Find a way to kill that furry beast without implicating me," she continued. "Or else don't even dream in getting the antidote." She then let go of me and walk back into the camp.

Ta- thump. Ta- thump. Ta- thump. I stood there for a moment trying to calm my heart. I thought it was going to burst. I sighed. Ying Kong Shi, get a grip! I then followed Yan da while formulating a plan on how to deal with Hei Feng without exposing my identity.
