Chapter 8 — I Am The Real Princess, My Brother Is The Fake

I remember your clan once wanted a Van Bao Dao?”

“It's okay, I don't need anything.”

Nine brother smiled faintly, his voice was light.

“It's okay to see A Ly safe.

Thanh Khau's scenery is charming, it's okay if I stay for a while."

“You… know each other?”

The king looked at me in surprise and then at him.

“Not just acquaintances.”

I pouted, intentionally joking.

“He raised me.”

Nine brother looked at me helplessly and said seriously:

“Don't listen to this brat's nonsense.

That year I traveled here, met her when she was about to grow up, saw her living a miserable life, and only stayed a few years. Father suddenly understood, and Cuu brother's gaze became more grateful and respectful.

“So that's it... thank you, Your Highness Ninth, for taking care of this young lady over the years.”

The king listed every crime that Elder Tu Luat had committed over the years, and announced it to the entire Ho clan. His son was arrogant and arrogant, raping women, causing a fox girl to be forced to commit suicide and was also exposed. Tu Luat wanted to make him the High Priest, also to use his power to quell that scandal. In the end, Tu Luat was thrown into the great prison of the fox clan, a place considered another "eighteen layers of hell". Hungry souls are wandering everywhere. How long Tu Luat can live remains to be seen. As for his son, he was sent to Vo Vong Hai with Bach Viet, never to return. Black Ho, because he made atonement for his crimes when he arrested Tu Luat, was changed from being convicted to being imprisoned for one hundred years. The ninth brother stayed with the fox clan for a few days. His father gave him the most noble hospitality. In the following days, I transmitted spiritual energy to Minh Nhi every day. Every time I leave Minh Nhi's palace, I am so weak that I cannot lift my arms. Cuu Ca usually brings out nutritious soup at that time. Although he has always been careless about life, he is still clumsy in taking care of others. His appearance of frantically feeding me soup was exactly like the day he picked me up and bandaged my wound. Just like last year's clumsiness.

“Nine brother, father wants to make me crown prince.”

“It is within the prediction.” He didn't raise his head, just gently blew on the soup spoon.

“Your father has also arranged for those stubborn people, they will no longer pursue the matter of you being a wolf clan prince meddling in the fox clan's affairs.”

“It is also within the prediction.” He brought the spoon close to my lips.

"If the fox king can't solve this problem, then he doesn't deserve that position."

“But aren't you curious what method he uses?” I raised my eyebrows.

Nine brother stopped and laughed:

“What way? Tell me.”

“He said, you are the betrothed son-in-law of our fox clan.”

Cuu Ca's hand holding the bowl of soup trembled so much that the soup almost splashed on him. Seeing him stunned, his eyes dull, I suddenly felt disappointed. But I still tried to act calm and patted his shoulder:

“It's okay, Cuu brother, it's not like I'm really forcing you to be the son-in-law of the fox clan.

Wait a little longer, the kiss will be over. We paused for a moment and then continued:

“I know you like to travel everywhere, actually I do too.

But when you become a crown prince, you will certainly no longer be as free as before, nor can I bind your freedom. Besides, between you and me, if we have to use a marriage bond to keep it, it will be a real loss for you." He didn't say anything, just Quietly holding the spoon, movements gentler than before. Spoon after spoon feeds me the soup, my eyes carry unpredictable emotions. Seeing that he was still persistently bringing the spoon to my lips, I quickly tilted my head to avoid it.

“Nine brother, what are you doing?”

"I haven't swallowed it yet! I can drink it myself!"

After that, I reached out to take the bowl of soup from his hand. Cuu Ca skillfully flipped his wrist to avoid it. I lost my grip and almost fell off the bed. He looked down at me, his eyes showing a faint smile, his voice deeper than usual:

“Who told you I don't want it?”

I was stunned and blinked.

“No one told me that you wanted…”

“If I don't want to…”

He reached out and gently touched the tip of my nose, his voice reluctant as if he was angry and burst into laughter:

“So, a righteous prince like me, why do I need to be here every day to feed you soup and water?”

I rubbed my nose and mumbled:

"Who knows... he was born to like taking care of people?"

“This damn brat!”

Nine brother was interrupted by me, he raised his hand to gently tap my forehead, but in his eyes, the smile was already bright:

"I'm really mad at her!"

“Before you left without saying goodbye, I thought you wanted to abandon me.”

He stopped, raised his eyebrows:

“If I hadn't run away, wouldn't your father, with his momentum that day, have considered me the one who kidnapped the princess and beheaded him on the spot?”

"You still blame me? If it weren't for me, you would have become an ice fox in the mountains!"

Seeing that I couldn't answer, he grinned, his eyes flashing:

“How do you think the elders were able to find exactly one cave among hundreds of caves?

Didn't she ask Cuu brother to secretly show the way? Am I, the prince of the wolf clan, free enough to attend the fox clan's banquet?" My heart suddenly skipped a beat, I tightened my shirt, my voice was as small as a mosquito:

“So… you are…

You agree to stay? Agree to be... my husband?"

“Of course.”

He replied decisively, his eyes fixed on me, surprisingly serious. Hearing those two words, I jumped up from the bed and hugged him.

“You disgusting old man, I thought you were going to leave!”

“Hey? Who is the old man?”

He pinched my cheek, his voice full of dissatisfaction:

"I'm only a hundred years older than you! My mother is even three hundred years older than my father!"

I nuzzled my head into his neck and laughed, warm breath blowing on his neck. Listening to that steady heartbeat in my chest, I suddenly realized that all the years of waiting and fear had turned into peace in this moment.

On the day he was crowned crown prince, Ninth brother sat right next to me. That posture was like confirming the rumors of an intermarriage between the fox tribe and the wolf tribe. I turned to look at him, intentionally teasing:

“Nine brother, this time you became a natural fox, do you really not regret it?”

He raised his eyebrows, looking indifferent but with a teasing look in his eyes:

“Regret, regret so much that my intestines are about to change color.”

I was made fun of by him and pretended to be serious:

"In that case, tomorrow I will resign, marry some beautiful concubines, and definitely live a happier life than now."

“No way.”

As expected, he was frantic. Seeing me laughing, he realized he had been tricked and immediately raised his eyebrows:

“A Ly, are you kidding me again?”

While I was laughing, a loud, clear and solemn announcement rang out outside the palace:

“Princess Minh is coming—!”

Bach Minh walked in quickly, wearing a new shirt embroidered with lotus flowers and ribbons, his expression much more radiant. Cheeks are rosy However, it is no longer fake powder.

"Sister, I'll call you the crown prince. I'll be right there as soon as you wake up."

She held up the brocade box and smiled gently:

"Don't criticize this little thought."

I laughed loudly, pulling her closer:

"You're finally awake! Quick, go tell father!"

We stood next to each other, the hems of our shirts touching lightly. Father has found my soul, and the poison in her body has also disappeared. This moment, is the look we should have.

“Looking back now, it really is like a pair of twins.”

I joked, breathing a sigh of relief in my heart. RUN OUT OF
