CHAPTER 1

Jofang paced around the palace-hall worriedly, and glared once again at his father Emperor Gongfu.

"No father! I can't just get married to a lady who I distrust!"Jofang continued, clenching his fists,"She's-she's a witch, father!"

"You must,Jo.And if you don't marry her,you will cause a taboo in our land...mind you."

"But I'm not ready.I mean, this is crazy.She's just playing around me and we never loved each other.So what's relationship for, father?"

Gongfu chuckled at his angry son.

"You should have known that the marriage is coming up soon.Just seven months later.That should get you prepared."

"And I'm never gonna be part of it, because it's stupid!so stupid!"

His father patted him,"Son, it's not as stupid as you must have known.Maching is an origin of Hyundai province and we have common alliances with them.Why dislike Maching,now?"

Jofang answered,"Yeah.You know I hated her for so many years and nothing changed.See why I said it's stupid?"he jabbered,sweat leaving his temple.

"My beau, she's the princess of the strongest province just the way she's and you must respect her.Mark that, that's our custom."

Jofang whined,"I don't think I can respect a virago,by marrying her.Infact,why do we have such custom?"

..."Will you behave Manish and summon courage upon yourself?!"Gongfu snapped at his son,"As your father,I know the best and I choose your choice.Maching's your choice,Jo."Gongfu pored over his son's eyes....

Gongfu touched his son's black, curled hair,at first.Then his beards and then his chest.

Jofang actually stood like a puppet and was boiling in ire whenever he thought of Maching, even as his father continuously touched his admirable hair...

"Look at you, son.You are grown and so are are your beards.You now look masculine.And this show how matured you are.Even other princes of the Black world are going jealous over a bae like you"Gongfu drawled.

Jofang looked away in anger.He just thought his father was trying to lure him fall for Maching.Oh, wasn't that folly? Jofang thought.

"Maching fits you.She's as beautiful as an angel and you are handsome. She could change your... everything that stops you from being merry.And lest I forget, she could possibly mother you beautiful children!"

"Enough, father ! Enough! I hate it when you talk about her. She totally is disgusting." Jofang furiously brushed off his body from his father's convincing caress.

" I hate her and so help me God!"

Having heard enough of the disgusting words from his father, Jofang walked away into his room. He made the door bang twice before finally locking it up.

Jofang sat frustrated on the bed, sweat of ire liberating from his head. He wondered how he could marry someone who almost slit his neck when she visited the last time.

"... And father only knows the rumor that she is harmless and beautiful? What if I tell him about her? No ,he wouldn't still believe. He can never believe that Maching is harmful..."
