Blare woke up early in the morning out of habit. She didn't expect that her body's habit is onto her soul as well.

Fang Chunhua usually woke up when the sun had already risen. In Blare's case, the dark sky is always the one who she greets.

Blare took the liberty of admiring the dark sky with its full moon and many stars. She was in no hurry in this world, so she leisurely felt the cold air and looked up in the dark sky.

Since she woke up early, she fell asleep again.

The sun was already out. She woke up, hearing a knock on her wooden door.

"Y-Young miss" a trembling female voice called her,

"Enter," Blare said as she sat,

The female servant opened the sliding door and bowed. Then a figure of a man appeared behind the servant.

It was Wang Jianyi.

When Blare saw the man, she was suddenly feeling hateful. She hated the man to the core, but she did not let her face show it. Instead, her two small hands gripped onto the bedsheets.

Blare stood up with no hurry. She bowed properly in front of the man and greeted, "Prosperity be with the Empire"

Blare stayed like that, bowing, never looking up. She doesn't want to look at him. Fang Chunhua's emotions stirred into her soul too much that she needed to separate her soul and Fang Chunhua's body into her mind and heart.

Wang Jianyi found this situation peculiar. Fang Chunhua, the woman he's engaged with always looked at him bashfully. A typical reaction he would always get to any woman.

But this time, Fang Chunhua never lifted her head.

"Why are you not looking up?" Wang Jianyi sneered at her action,

"This subject doesn't dare to look up without permission" was the only excuse Blare could say.

Wang Jianyi felt amused. As he was walking towards her, Blare instinctively walked back, causing Wang Jianyi to look at her with mocking eyes.

With her head bowed low, Blare felt her neck getting tired. She refused the man to get too close to her, Fang Chunhua's emotions might come out.

"Fang Chunhua, (sneer) are you trying to attract my attention through this method?" Wang Jianyi deeply hated her at this moment as he thought she was pretending.

'This narcissist.. tsk' thanks to the remark of the Crown Prince, Blare's emotions took over the body.

"This subject doesn't dare to pretend Your Highness. Chunhua will gladly step back and not block Your Highness way" Blare said with a normal tone. Although deep inside she wanted to laugh and smack his head for being so narcissistic.

The normal tone that Blare uttered cause the cold Prince to flinch. He angrily strode towards her and hold her chin in one hand to force her look up.

Wang Jianyi was expecting a flushed face, but Blare's soul felt differently for the man. Instead, she wasn't able to hide the annoyance on her face.

She almost slapped his hand away. But controlled it by gripping on the hems of her sleeping gown.

Wang Jianyi was stunned at the woman's reaction, after all, he knows that the woman loves him deeply. But what's this irritation in her face? Was she angry at him? The prince can only take guesses for the reasons of her reactions.

"Your Highness. I am an unmarried woman. This interaction is improper." Blare, with clear irritation in her voice, maintained respectful towards her words.

This awakened the Prince thought. He went back to his cold facade and hold her chin tighter, causing Blare to slap the man's hand away from her.

Wang Jianyi smiled mockingly, "Unmarried woman... We'll be married soon anyway. Why bother pretending?"

Blare shuts her eyes and took a deep breath. A habit she always does when she's trying to control her dangerous emotions.

Wang Jianyi looks at her weirdly, but Blare doesn't care what he thinks. After all, this man does not know how the real Fang Chunhua acts.

"Your Highness, Chunhua is not pretending to get anyone's attention. I ask for forgiveness for causing you to misunderstand!" Blare dramatically bowed. Her knees and forehead are touching the wooden floor. She really wanted to reap the Prince's face in irritation, she had never bowed to anyone to this extent.

This scene cause Wang Jianyi's eyes to darken. He firmly believed that Fang Chunhua was only pretending. To lure her out of her act, Wang Jianyi decided to play with her feelings.

"Hua'er" he called,

"(snort)" was Blare's response to his alluring voice. She bit her bottom lip to stop herself from laughing. Blare found it all laughable that the Prince would take her for a fool.

"What was that?" was the Prince innocent question because he sincerely didn't know what could cause such noise.

Blare slightly look around, "I do not know Your Highness" she lied.

Wang Jianyi just brushed it off and look at Blare's bowing figure.

"Stand," he said in a soft tone.

Blare obediently stood up and met his gaze. Wang Jianyi's whole being was stirred when Blare looked at him without any apparent emotions on her face.

Wang Jianyi, once again, took a step forward. Which made Blare take a step backward.

"This is getting ridiculous Fang Chunhua. We're engaged through the imperial decree of my father, the Emperor. Are you trying to disobey His Majesty's decree?" Wang Jianyi's held a ridiculing tone.

"Your Highness. Have you read the whole imperial decree of our engagement? My father reminded me what was specifically written because I last heard it when I was four years old." Blare said as she slightly bowed her head in respect.

"Enlighten me" Wang Jianyi glared at the woman. He didn't bother reading it because it keeps ruining his mood.

"Your Highness, the imperial decree states that we are to be married IF both of us did not found our true love. In other words, when one of us found our true love, the engagement will be void" Blare said as she smiled sweetly, her eyes turning crescent. The woman was clearly beaming happily.

This news should bring happiness to Wang Jianyi. But when he saw her enchanting smile while saying that their engagement will be void. His happy thoughts shattered.

'Was this woman so happy that our engagement will be dissolve?' Wang Jianyi thought as he felt his heart ache.
