The news arrive to him.
In the same day, somewhere in the Azure clan's dominion....
A beautiful white-silvery fox runs through the frozen landscapes to reach someone.
Miao Miao
Hong Yi, Hong Yi....wait....
Wait for me! I must ask you something!
The person in front does not slow down....
Miao Miao
Hong Yi, for God's sake stop for a while! I really want to ask you something!
The man dressed in dark blue robes suddenly stops and looks back over his shoulder.
Lu Hong Yi
What is it, Miao Miao?
Lu Hong Yi
I don't have time to waste on a cheap conversation right now, say what you want to say and leave.
The white little fox is shining while changing into her human body and her angry purple eyes are piercing the man in front of her.
Miao Miao
LU.....HONG.....Yi!!!
Miao Miao
I'm going to curse you for the rest of your life if you don't listen to me today!!!
Lu Hong Yi
.....(he gets out a long sigh)...
Say,what's wrong!
Miao Miao
You ask me what's wrong?
Haven't you heard the last news from the court assembly?
Lu Hong Yi
I am too busy with my training, I don't really care about the court's affairs! What could have happened, we're going to war? That's good! I can test my new skills there.
Lu Hong Yi
Then what is so important that you insist on wasting my time?
Miao Miao
The humans want to ally with us through marriage and the only one available for a marriage is you!!! Are you really ok with this Hong Yi?
Lu Hong Yi
Are you serious? It's not another prank of yours Miao Miao?
Miao Miao
I'm very very serious in this moment. Do you think I would joke with something so important? They will definitely not accept to marry the crown prince with that woman from the human realm and they'll force this marriage onto you! Are you going to keep staying quiet and don't say a word about their decision?
Lu Hong Yi
I don't think my grandfather will accept this proposal.
Miao Miao
He already did it! Even though is just a fake marriage to fool the human world and gain some gold, it's still a marriage!!!
Lu Hong Yi
I don't care.
I will never love a human.
Miao Miao
You don't care,
Yet you don't protest against this idea!?
Lu Hong Yi
....I don't intend to get married too soon.
Miao Miao
Then do something before is too late! I will never allow you to marry anyone else beside me!
Lu Hong Yi
Miao Miao....
That was a long time ago.
Miao Miao
I don't care! You promised me!
You promised that you will only marry me in this life!
Lu Hong Yi
We were kids back then!
I promised that I will always protect you and that won't change!
Miao Miao
I asked you if you'll marry me in the future and you said "yes"!
Miao Miao
You promised that you'll protect me for the rest of my life! You can't take your words back now just because we have grown up and started to have different ideas and goals!
Miao Miao
Don't you love me anymore?
Lu Hong Yi
I always regarded you as my cute little sister and my closest friend but I never thought about that kind of love or marrying someone in this life.I care about you a lot but that kind of love that you speak of is something that I am not interested in right now.
Miao Miao
Ok. That's fine.
I can not force you to love me but I will definitely never allow anyone else to marry you!
Lu Hong Yi
I will not marry that woman! Stop being stubborn and....
Can you stop crying now? I hate when you do this. You're so ugly and noisy and make me feel guilty!
Miao Miao
Lu....Hong....Yi.....
You're courting death today!
Hong Yi pats Miao Miao's head and fluffy ears. This makes her blush and she hides her face with her both hands.
It was snowing outside, like almost all the time in that place, and the huge snowflakes almost covered her empty shoulders.
Lu Hong Yi
Why didn't you take a thick coat? You're going to freeze like this. It's extremely cold today.
Miao Miao
I was in a hurry to catch up with you and did not have time to fetch one but have you forgotten that I'm a snow fox? This cold is nothing to me, I can endure blizzards even greater than today!
Lu Hong Yi
Really?
Look at your face, all red!
Miao Miao
That's not because of the cold!
Lu Hong Yi
Then because of what, if not because of the low temperature?
Miao Miao
It's nothing serious! Let's speak about something else!
Lu Hong Yi
Fine but put this on you,
I don't want to see you turning into a snowman.
He takes out his beautiful coat and wraps it around her shoulders, tying it below her chin.
Miao Miao
Thank you.
You still make these funny knots even now!
Lu Hong Yi
It looks that strange?
Miao Miao
Just a bit but because is made by you, it's the most beautiful knot I have ever seen!
Lu Hong Yi
Don't flatter me, I am going to forget to improve my skills like this!
Miao Miao
You won't!
You never forget anything!
Lu Hong Yi
Where are you heading next?
Are you going to follow me to the training grounds?
Miao Miao
If you don't mind....!
Lu Hong Yi
I don't. You can tag along.
Hong Yi starts walking again confronting the white snowflakes that fall into his large chest and Miao Miao silently and closely keeps following him waving her nine tails out from time to time.
