Chapter 7 — A Wishful Life

"A Nguyen, I know you still have me in your heart. Don't worry, when Dong Son returns to me, I will definitely not disappoint you anymore!" But right after that, the smile on his face immediately froze. Because the dagger in my hand had aggressively stabbed into his chest. The remaining guards behind him were both frightened and angry, wanting to advance, but were stopped by a rain of arrows shot from the forest, falling to the ground one after another. Hot blood shot onto my hand. Fresh blood flowed out of Ta Duong's mouth. He looked down at his chest in disbelief, then raised his eyes to look at me, and finally let out a mournful laugh: "You really... hate me that much." His body staggered, leaning against the cliff behind him, his breath weakly asking: "But... we have been reborn, why can't you forgive me?" After listening, I just felt extremely ridiculous. "Who knows if you are sincere or fake?" I pulled out my dagger. out, coldly watching him slide to the ground. "You have betrayed me, then you can only use your life to pay for it." I squatted down, softly adding in his ear: "But you are not considered lonely. After all, I killed Lac Chieu Nghi a long time ago, brought her down to the royal stream to be with you." Ta Duong's eyes suddenly opened wide, his pupils were full of surprise and unwillingness, and finally completely lost the light. In the middle of the bloody ground, my two hands holding the dagger trembled slightly. At that moment, a pair of warm arms wrapped around me from behind. Tieu Ky An carefully hugged me, wrapped me in his cloak, and gently said in my ear: "It's okay, A Nguyen. It's all over."15After that, the third prince ascended the throne as emperor. Because of the merit of killing traitors, I received an extremely generous reward. Only now did my parents realize what an earth-shattering thing I had done. They were so scared that their faces turned pale, they constantly felt scared, pulled me over and asked me from head to toe, afraid that I was injured somewhere. Only Tieu Ky An took this as an honor. Every time someone asked, he proudly said: "How do you know? My wife has contributed to supporting the new army!" Others couldn't stand his cheerful appearance, constantly shaking their heads, advising him to be more careful: "Mr. Tieu, you should be a little more careful. Don't let one day the person who gets stabbed by the wife is you." Hearing these words, Tieu Ky An was not angry, just saying that they were jealous because he married a wife with such ability. That made the group of people angry and scolded him for being a love-minded person who was bewitched by beauty. Tieu Ky An didn't pay any attention to those rumors at all, but instead happily took me down to Giang Nam to explore the mountains and water. The boat floats on the water, the scenery on both banks is picturesque. He peeled off a transparent cloth, brought it to my mouth, and smiled at me. I opened my mouth and took it in, the sweet taste spreading straight from the tip of my tongue deep into my heart. In this life, I finally get my wish. Run out of.
