Chapter 10 — I Give Up Everything, Always Give Up My Fiance, Never Give Up My Life

“Bring your promise.”

“Go comfort your Nhuoc Ninh.”

"Let's see if she can rely on that promise to continue living."

This word was like a resounding slap, fiercely hitting Ta Doan Hanh in the face. He completely lost his reason, suddenly turned and roared at the guards: "Catch her for me. Remember, don't harm her life." The guard received orders and immediately surrounded me. Xuan Hieu screamed in panic, but still risked his life to block in front of people: "Don't come. Don't touch my lady." I tightened my grip on the ax handle, my heart beating wildly, in my mind calculating the possibility of risking my own life. Right at that moment, outside the manor suddenly came a loud noise, accompanied by a resounding voice, mixed with a bit of wildness and arrogance.

"Oh my, what a bustle. In the middle of the day, the prince of the Marquis and Lord Tham are not in the capital enjoying their happiness, but instead they run to this poor place to perform martial arts. Why are there no one bullying my manor?"

As soon as the voice ended, everyone's eyes simultaneously turned to the gate of the manor house. Before the dust had settled, a group of people and horses were leisurely standing there, completely different from the elite guards brought by Ta Doan Hanh, their whole bodies exuding a generous, unyielding aura. The leader was riding on the back of a black horse with a not-so-shiny coat, wearing a worn dark-colored civilian outfit, the hem of the shirt was even slightly open, revealing a piece of his collarbone. His appearance was handsome, but with a languid, sagging look that had been molded by alcohol, the corner of his lips curled up into a smile that looked like a smile but was not a smile, his eyes swept lightly, causing everyone present, except me, to change their faces at the same time. Especially Ta Doan Hanh and my father Tham Nguy, their expressions were like seeing a ghost during the day, fear mixed with panic, the aggressive and urgent expression just now disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only fear and the reflex of wanting to bow down and bow. Abandoned crown prince, Tieu Quyet. The man who was once deposed, imprisoned and then released because of "lack of virtue" by His Majesty, now has no real power, but is still an existence that makes the whole civil and martial court wary, no one dares to casually tease him. Why did he appear in my yard? My heart suddenly beat loudly, an extremely bold thought, one could even call it crazy, instantly burst into my head. In that flash of electric light, without waiting for Ta Doan Hanh and Tham Nguy to recover from their surprise to perform the ceremony, I did an action that made everyone's eyes wide open. My wrist softened, with a "bang" sound, the ax blocking my body fell to the ground. Right after that, my body seemed to have been drained of all its strength, I fell limply backwards, without any deviation, I accidentally fell straight into Tieu Quyet's arms as I got off my horse and walked this way. I raised my pale little face, my eyes instantly filled with tears, my weak voice carried infinite self-pity and dependence, using a choking breath just enough for everyone to hear clearly: "You... you are finally here... they... they all want to force Dieu Dieu to death..." This fall, this cry, the two words "your highness", the two words "forced death". The amount of information was so great that the minds of everyone present were buzzing. Xuan Hieu rolled her eyes. Tham Nguy and Chu Thi's eyes were almost bulging out. Ta Doan Hanh's facial muscles convulsed violently, watching me being hugged by another man, even that man, his eyes looked like they were about to spit fire, but he was so tightly pressed by fear that he did not dare to move. Tieu Quyet obviously didn't expect this sudden "falling into his arms" scene. His body stiffened slightly for a very small moment, but I could feel that his arm around my waist was extremely steady, not moving even half of it. He bowed his head, facing my teary eyes, frantically beckoning, at the bottom of those already languid eyes, a faint trace of surprise quickly passed, then immediately turned into understanding and... a bit of almost imperceptible interest. He knows how to coordinate very well. Not only did he not push me away, he also tightened his arms, hugging me closer to his chest, the intimate position felt extremely natural.
