Princess Yue looked at the servants in front of her and sat down elegantly. Unlike the soldiers who were driving the carriages without stopping, she was still living her usual life inside the carriage.
During the first exchange of guards, they didn't stop at all. But since this was already evening and traveling near the border at night was more dangerous, the soldiers chose to stop in Wind City.
Looking at the commotion before her, Princess Yue raised her hand.
"Your Highness?"
"No matter how much you try to cover up a rock with beautiful decoration, it'll eventually reveal the true form." Princess Yue stood up. She looked at the soldiers around her and her lips curled up to form a smirk. "Choose a different inn to stay for the night. I can't stay in this place."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"No! Please pardon us, Your Highness!"
"Your Highness, please give us another chance…"
Ignoring the plea of the people around her, Princess Yue stood up and walked out of the inn haughtily. Her maidservants were all accompanying her and prevented anyone from getting close to her.
Even from a distance away, one could tell that she was a princess right away.
"She's a troublemaker…." Young Commander Chi, Chi Song Lian, muttered under his breath. He was one of the few commanders in the battlefield and chose to come with his father to do this mission. Even though he knew that the princess was terribly annoying after a day's journey, her action still made him annoyed very much.
General Chi shook his head. "Book another inn now."
"Yes, Father."
While Chi Song Lian walked away, Long Qian Xing and General Feng had arrived. They looked at the commotion in front of them and then looked at General Chi for explanation.
It took them some time to finish the arrangement for their departure tomorrow but Princess Yue was already attracting trouble.
"Her Highness is displeased by the service in the inn." General Chi looked at the two of them and sighed. "I would have to trouble General Feng and Young Commander Long for help."
"It's our duty." General Feng looked at Princess Yue and his eyebrows creased. He didn't think that this princess was actually that much of a problem until today. Also, General Chi's words had another underlying meaning.
Princess Yue detested the marriage agreement.
She was clearly trying to create trouble at every steps she took. Even though the soldiers had told her to behave and the previous commander had said many things, Princess Yue still acted as if she didn't hear anything.
She acted haughtily, claiming that her position didn't require her to stay low.
Thus, it garnered even more hatred.
At the opposite restaurant, the children had finished eating. Looking at the commotion outside and how the people were unwilling to let the carriage passed, Nan Luo shook his head. He felt that Princess Yue was indeed only a troublemaker.
"What do you think will happen, Luo?" Nan Hua asked as they walked out of the restaurant.
"Hmm?" Nan Luo arched his eyebrows. "There shouldn't be anything that happen, right? What can possibly happen under the watchful eyes of so many people?"
Many people?
