I was given a choice...on one side lie my freedom, while on the other...a bond which I never hoped for, a promise to be a caged bird....

"My princess....You are the only daughter that I have. No father in this world would ask his daughter to walk into the dark cave with no light to clear the path. But. We're no simple family. For us, the nation comes before anything else...I hope you make your decision carefully. The future of the whole county depends on you my dear. Not only of ours, also of the nation across the gate."

I could refuse it, refuse to be bound to someone I know not, someone I care not of, and someone who will never see me as anything other then a ticking bomb, ready to blast any minute. But if i choose my freedom, the green fields shall be painted red, and the moans of the dear ones of the dead will forever haunt me...So I did what I taught to do.....

"Father, I am ready to wed the Crowned Prince of Long Empire."

And that's how I became a caged bird, with no mates to speak to, kept eyes on 24×7 and what makes it worst, this place is so 'ancient'. No automobiles, no electricity, no anything and worse of all, no smartphone.

I didn't even know whom I got married to. Not until I saw him one autumn morning.

"Hey! You're the guy who destroyed my CTZ 2o1."

But I forgot I thing....he can't understand the way I speak. A reason why I had to spend three years to adapt to their culture and language before I got married.

Or... He did understand what I said...

"What is CTZ 2o1?"

It was the very first time I heard him talk. His voice was deep, and his tone was cold. His brow narrowed as he glared at me. He was every thing but cheerful and happy to see me. Then it came to my mind.

'I just yelled at the Emperor.'

"It's already late, this lord shall stay here for the night." The Emperor said as sat down on the bed.

"Your Majesty, this room is not suitable for Your dragon body to rest. This Concubine shall arrange the guest room of the courtyard for His Majesty."

But before she could order her maid, a rough hand grasped hers and pulled her. The next thing she knew, she was already sitting on the Ye Jiao Long's lap.

His hand then hugged her waist so tight that Ah Li was unable to break free. His other hand caressed her face, his eyes locked with hers. Blood rushed on her face as she felt is warm breath on her neck.

"Why in such a hurry to send this Lord away? This Lord will spend the night here...on this bed...with you, my dear Concubine." His husky voice seeped out as he planted wet kisses across her neck.

Liang Jing Li tried to get up again, putting in every strength she had. But she was suddenly thrown onto the bed with Jiao Long's weight pressing her down.

"It seems like my lovely Concubine has a lot of strength in her even after cleaning the whole pine gargen. There is no use of getting the punishment if you don't get tired from it. Hmm...This Lord shall change it....so that you won't be able to get up for at least a week."

Jing Li's eyes showed horror, hoping the Emperor would spare her. Too bad, the smirk on his face contrast what she wished for.
