HungJi laughed as GangDa couldn't control chuckling too, they know their dad isn't going to have it easy but they also know their mom will agree if it is for Li'er's protection.

JingJin came out of the room grinning, AiFen finally agreed after much begging. He was about beaten up but AiFen reluctantly agreed when she heard it was necessary for JiaLi's safety. He ordered Bai to pack Li'er's clothes as they will be leaving this afternoon as some Martial Art expert is wanting to meet him.
JiaLi was telling her servants how to take care of the quinine plants and Qicen plant. These plants have long life so she was sure they will survive till she come back . She sighed will this army camp be good, she shook her head well it will less boring then staying in the house and occasionally going out. She looked at the plants as she turned around and sat by the pond as she pulled her dress up not caring about the so called etiquette and played with water with her delicate feet.
" Hey, heard you are going to the army camp"
JiaLi looked back to see Disung standing behind her looking as dashing as ever. JiaLi sighed and nodded, Disung sat beside her putting his feet to inside the pond. JiaLi gestured to dismiss Deshi who was looking from the shadow. Deshi frowned but did as JiaLi said.
" What happened Li'er?"
JiaLi looked at him she knew why was he not calling her 'Clayris'. She looked down in the pond as her foot touched soft leaves of lotus, she knows she can't hide her emotions from him .
" I miss home.. I miss my brothers"
Disung looked at her with sad smile he knows she loved her brothers more than anything. He patted her head as she continued to look down, as he too look at the delicate flower.
" Me too.. I miss Mom and Dad. You know I sometimes fought with them when they didn't agree with me. But now I regret it..now I think maybe I could have used that time in creating more lovable memory with them. Maybe I could have used to tell them how much I love them maybe I could have used that time to appreciate the more-"
JiaLi was still looking down at the pond her expression were unclear and complicated , he was just thinking about her brothers and how many times she had denied spending time with them cause she was busy. Maybe that time she could have treasured that time with them maybe they could have made more memories with them.
" But we can not bring time back Li'er so there is no sense in thinking this all. We will do this all when we get back and I am sure we will find a way or the another but the think I am worried about is that we should find the way back before your brothers come here. God knows what will they do when they arrive here, but I am sure they will kill that Prince who broke the engagement"
JiaLi chuckled what Disung says is true even if she doesn't care about this matter her brothers will cause ' How dare he do this !!!' that what will they think and she makes no sense of this..she just knows it is a way her brothers show their love to her.
" That is true. I wonder what would they been doing"
Disung looked up in the sky as wind blew their hair making it a scene of a painting.
" Thinking of a way to come here"
JiaLi nodded, as she caressed petal of a water lily that was close to her. the flower was beautiful but fragile.
" I am worried"
JiaLi looked at Disung who was looking her with a worried expression.
" Don't worry I will okay in that army camp"
Disung chuckled as he looked back at the pond as he teasingly said.
" Who said I am worried about you, I am worried about those pitiful soldiers who have to deal with you"
JiaLi chuckled as she patted his head reassuring him that she will be okay no matter what as she said.
" Well you worry right about them"
Disung could not control his laugh as he laughed out loud as his laugh turned into a chuckle as he saw her smiling at him. He too smiled at her showing he trust her to take care of herself. They both had some insecurities and they both know it and understand each other that is why they are best friends. They both look at the pond as fishes were swimming and touching their feet. There was complete comfortable silence Deshi looked at them and even he didn't want to interrupt that movement.
Deshi and JiaLi parted their ways, she told him about her breakthrough but she denied to use Qicen powder on him, cause if it can cause her safety to be at risk it can risk his too.

" Where is Rosaline , Jonathan"
Edward asked Jonathan as he could not find Rosaline in her room.
" Your Highness , Princess has gone to market and she is accompanied by tenhighly trained guards"
Edward walk out going to the market himself wanting to meet his sister and apologising to her. Edward looked out of his carriage as it came to stop when he saw Rosaline smiling at her maid, his heart pained she has stopped smiling at him. He failed to do his duty as an elder brother. He got out as he called her out, he saw her turn towards him as her smile vanished from her face as if it was never there in the first place.
" Rosaline, Will you accompany your brother for a breakfast"
Rosaline furrowed her eyebrows in confusion as she could sense pain in his voice as she nodded. Edward led her to a restaurant as he booked the whole second floor for them as he kept Jonathan and Elisa Rosaline's personal guard in the room. Food came as he and Rosaline started to eat, she was not looking at him at all.
" I am sorry"
Rosaline's hands stopped mid air as she looked at him with wide eyes. What is going on, she couldn't figure out at all.
" I trusted that b***h Miya instead of my own sister. I am sorry Rosaline ..I am sorry . I am failure as an elder brother"
Rosaline looked at him with wide eyes as she again looked down at her bite and continued to eat her food. She couldn't and didn't want to forgive him at all, when he scolded her and was about to punish her cause Miya said she pushed her, her heart broke her brother trusted someone whom he recently met and not his sister whom he had known since his birth. She felt like she couldn't rely at him anymore .
" Can you find it in yourself Rose, to forgive me"
Edward asked, as Rosaline kept her spoon down as she stared in his eyes without any emotion. Rosaline wanted to cry, and complain to him she always looked up to him but he broke it all. It has been years since he called her by her nickname 'Rose'
" No I can't and I will not. World doesn't revolve around you, I learnt not to rely on you Your Highness and I don't plan to change that "
Rosaline got up and walked out as Elisa bowed down to Edward and followed Rosaline out. Edward was looking down his expressions were of remorse, he felt so hurt by what she said and he can't even think how hurt she would have been when he chose to believe a stranger and not her. He knew he deserved everything she said but it hurt a lot.
He got up with determined look in his eyes, he needs to make everything right and he will.
