Chapter 340: Sorry, I Was Wrong

The chief executive stood up and said calmly, “I never told you anything. If he is killed and the princess doesn’t avenge his death, I hope that you can still stay by her side. I’ll feel reassured if the princess can be protected by someone as decent as Mr. Aoki.

Xiao Bing stood up and smiled, “Of course I will.”

Xiao Bing could tell that, the chief executive, though a cunning man, was very loyal to the princess.

The two went home after they left the dining room. Xiao Bing soon laid down on his bed after returning. It was a rough day for the princess and Xiao Bing also felt tired. Though Xiao Bing hated this country and its people very much, given how many people they had killed during that war, he still wouldn’t kill the innocent. But he was willing to massacre people on the battlefield.

Xiao Bing could even feel the spirits of those 470 men groaning about how unjustly they were treated. Some of them were indeed guilty of terrible crimes. But there were also those who committed crimes merely out of passion. But the princess took their lives away.

In truth, Xiao Bing was disgusted by what the princess had done. And the lesson he taught the princess today was not part of his plan for this country. He merely wanted to lead her to the right path, so that the lives of countless people might be saved.

Xiao Bing was once a soldier. Though the Dragon Gate was a special force. They were still soldiers。

Soldiers belonged to the battlefield. For them, most of the common people of their enemy states were innocent. So even though he was in a country that he hated very much, he knew not all of them were guilty. He couldn’t turn a blind eye. It was the conscience of a soldier.

Xiao Bing felt a little tired now. He wanted to call Yezi for a good talk. But he couldn’t. And it had been a week since he talked to her last.

The next morning, Xiao Bing got up and went out to have his breakfast. But where the princess breakfasted was different from his. The moment Xiao Bing walked into the yard after he finished his breakfast he saw a group of workers walking and carrying some tools on their shoulders. Curious, Xiao Bing asked a guard, “What are these people doing here? Are they going to build something?”

The guard shook his head and said quietly, “No. For some unknown reason Her Highness wants to demolish the fighting pit.” It used to be her favorite place. We never imagined she would make such a sudden decision. But it gladdens our heart to see it fall.”

Indeed it was a good decision.

There was a glint in Xiao Bing’s eyes. It seemed that although the princess had committed serious crimes, she was not completely incurable.

A servant girl waved to Xiao Bing from afar, “Mr. Aoki, the princess summons you.”

“Okay.” Xiao Bing headed towards the princess’s place. Voices of discussion about how powerful he was drifted into his ears.

When they entered the hall, the handmaid said, “The princess invites you into her chamber.”

“Okay.” Xiao Bing walked to the stairs and made his way upstairs.

He walked to the second floor and saw Eguchi Nakayama standing in front of the princess’s room. “My Royal Highness, you demolished your favorite fighting pit. Is it because of that Aoki Ichiro? He’s nothing more than a lowly servant. You don’t need to care about what he thinks.”

There was door between Eguchi Nakayama and Princess Nami. It looked like the princess didn’t want him in there.

The princess’s voice drifted from inside, “It has nothing to do with Mr. Aoki.”

Eguchi Nakayama asked, “Then is it because of the chief executive? Actually, he’s also a servant of yours. The old man is in no place to tell you what to do.”

“It’s not about him either. I made this decision on my own. I don’t want to kill any more people.”

“They are nothing more than a bunch of worthless prisoners. If you don’t like it, I can introduce other types of fun to you. My Royal Highness, may I come in?”

“Go back and rest. I will summon you when I need you.”

Eguchi Nakayama did not expect Princess Nami to suddenly be so cold towards him. In fact, he was once a useless rascal, but later got an opportunity to become a servant in this manor. Since he was very good at currying favor with others, he soon became the princess’s confidant. Though he seemed very meek in front of the princess, he behaved very haughtily in front of others. He even illegally pocketed a great amount of money.

He became what he was today because of the princess. But since yesterday he noticed something different about her. She seemed cold to him. This made him afraid. Because Princess Nami could take back what she had given him at any time.

For someone like him, the most important thing was to try to know what their master was thinking. But now he found himself stumped. Xiao Bing’s appearance made him feel that he could no longer manipulate the princess that easily. He felt a sudden urge to see the princess so that he might know what was in her mind.

He wanted to say something after hearing the princess’s reply, but he knew the princess’s temperament well. It was a sensitive time. He dared not anger the princess. So he said yes and made a move to leave.

But Xiao Bing walked over to him at this time. He looked up and found Xiao Bing walking past him. Xiao Bing knocked on the door and said, “My Royal Highness, may I come in?”

Eguchi Nakayama wanted to snigger because he believed Princess Nami wouldn’t let this man in. The princess had taken nearly all of his advice thus far, yet he was refused entry now. How can Xiao Bing, who was in the princess’s bad books, be allowed in?

But Eguchi Nakayama was soon shocked. He thought the princess would definitely deny Xiao Bing entry, but then he heard her voice, “Of course you may.”

Xiao Bing pushed the door open, walked in and closed the door. He didn’t even glance at Eguchi Nakayama.

Eguchi Nakayama’s eyes were wide open. He felt a cold fear. “Why? If it is only because the princess is in a bad mood, why did she let him instead of me?”

The feeling gave him chills. He was scared. He even imagined that the princess would cast him aside like tossing a candy she didn’t like. Soon, he would once again have nothing while this Aoki Ichiro would become her new confidant.

A hint of madness flickered in his eyes. He would not let that happen no matter what it cost him!

Xiao Bing was amused to see Princess Nami lying on her stomach since she was spanked on the buttocks.

She felt awkward when she saw Xiao Bing coming in. She stood up and said, “Please have a seat.”

Xiao Bing didn’t sit. “Might I know why Your Highness summoned me here? It’s an honor for me to be in your chamber. I have to say that I’m flattered.”

“You care about the damned honor rather than my spanked bottom?” Princess Nami didn’t give voice to her thoughts. Her parents were very protective of her before they died. After all, she was a very beautiful girl. Later, they were killed in a terrorist attack. But she had her grandfather, who also loved her very much. No one had ever scolded her and she was always given what she wanted.

No matter where she went, people always looked at her in fascination. She was just like a peacock fanning out its tail, magnificent, noble and haughty. She thought no one would dare to defy her. It was as if the world revolved around her.

But she stopped believing that after Xiao Bing emerged.

Xiao Bing had been doing things against her will ever since she first met him, at least that’s what she thought. People used to agree with her on everything, but Xiao Bing always defied her and reasoned with her. His disdain, aloofness, and arrogance towards her always drove her crazy, making her feel extremely humiliated.

After she was taught a lesson and forced to treat the men in that hotel, she realized the world was not revolving around her after all. Other people also had all kinds of emotions. They also felt hunger, suffered from pain and bled to death… And so many people died because of her.

Lowering her haughty head, Princess Nami looked at Xiao Bing and said, “I’ve thought it through last night. I was wrong.”
