Qian Mu Ting realizes the slip of her tongue but it was too late because Yuan Shao furiously glares at her, Qian Mu Ting wants to slap her own mouth, she wants to persuade him but instead, she make him angrier.
"General Yuan, I don't an…."
"You an cannot be clearer your highness" he quipped, he straightens his back and clasped both of his hand on the table, he expression beco grid at first he still courteous with Qian Mu Ting he understands she also didn't have a choice but follow the emperor order but when she suggested him to take his beloved woman as a concubine the string conscience in his heart suddenly break, whatever little feeling he has to Qian Mu Ting, wether is a pity, remorse or responsible is dissipated without a trace.
Her words remain him of his pitiful mother, should he make the woman she loved to lived her lived like his mother, absolutedly NOT! He will not make the sa mistaked as his father.
"Your 'kindness' is unnecessary because there would not be a marriage between us" he adamant to refused the engagent between them.
She feel her heart just droped, is that it? is that how she end? Her face beco white as sheet she knew her mother will not forgive her this ti and so is her father emperor, what about her reputation? People would make another bad rumor about her and they would laughing at her, she can imagined other ladies in the city would mocked her how could she held her head high after this?
"You can't do this to !" she suddenly cry "Why you all do this to ? I didn't do anything wrong but why you humiliated like this, can you give a face even a little, what have I done wrong!" she scream at Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao frowned although she screams at him but it feel she talk about soone else, he takes a deep breath seemingly tired to entertain Qian Mu Ting any longer "Her highness, this is not about you, there sothing in this world cannot be forced"
"I cannot take responsibility for you're future nor I don't want to sacrifice my future for you, you lose your position but I also gave up my career and my family, there also a possibility I would be banished from my owned country, this is my price and I take this gladly, please don't focus by your owned misery all of us have our own predicant, not everything is about you…" Yuan Shao word is calm and clear he is not angry or trying to comfort Qian Mu Ting, he just how him the fact of there situation.
Qian Mu Ting didn't answer her head cast down, Yuan Shao rose from his seat "You can rest here for a while her highness, I'm sorry I can accompany you, I will ask soone to send you out, have a good day your highness" he cupped his fist courteously and then he left leaving Qian Mu Ting recuperated herself inside the pavilion.
Tears fall on her cheeks, she doesn't want things to end like this, so what if everyone has their own predicant is not her problem as long it's not her why should she care, is it wrong thinking about her own happiness? is she being selfish, so what, this is her life!
Qian Mu Ting wiped her tears, she will not be given up she doesn't want to be the leftover princess but she can't do this on her own she need help.
