Chapter 12 — The Crown Prince just got married, King Tinh is already waiting outside my room

Why did he come here? Also appeared at the right time. Tieu Duc saw Tieu Dien, his body clearly stiffened for a moment, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but was quickly replaced by deeper anger.

"Your royal uncle came uninvited and arbitrarily barged into my servant's inner courtyard. Isn't that too rude?"

Tieu Dien chuckled. He leisurely walked inside, his eyes glanced at me, and after confirming that I was okay, he turned back to look at Tieu Duc, his voice carrying undisguised sarcasm. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here entangling himself with Tinh Vuong's future fiancee, so what does that count?" Tinh Vuong's future fiancee. My heart suddenly beat loudly. I looked at Tieu Dien in disbelief. He… what is he saying. Tieu Duc seemed even more struck by lightning, his eyes suddenly widened.

“What nonsense are you talking about?

What kind of fiancee?" Tieu Dien completely ignored him. He walked straight to my side, very naturally wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me towards him. His movements carried a kind of possession that could not be denied. The warm hand was placed on my waist from behind my clothes, causing my whole body to instantly stiffen.

"Your Majesty has agreed, it won't be long before the order is issued." Tieu Dien lowered his head to look at my shocked eyes, the corner of his lips curled slightly, his voice carried a certainty like a declaration, "The asking ceremony will come in three days."

I was completely stunned. Your Majesty responds? Lower chi? Questioning ceremony? Everything happened so fast, so suddenly, that we were completely unprepared. Tieu Duc's face turned pale, his chest heaved violently. He pointed straight at Tieu Dien, so angry that his voice trembled: "You! You dare! Father, how could it be possible… impossible!”

"If the Crown Prince doesn't believe it, he can ask the royal brother himself." Tieu Dien's voice was calm and cold, but the arm that was holding my waist tightened a bit, as if declaring sovereignty, "Now, please leave. You and your future princess still have things to talk about."

Tieu Duc looked at our figures stuck together, his eyes were like poisoned blades. Finally, he stomped his foot, almost gritting his teeth and squeezing out a sentence: "You guys... okay!" Very good!” Having finished speaking, he suddenly turned around, carrying a tearful aura, and rushed straight out of the flower hall. In the flower hall, only Tieu Dien and I remained, with his hot hand still placed on my waist. I suddenly regained consciousness, used my strength to break free from his arms, took two steps back, raised my head to look at him, my voice trembled slightly because of the shock and a hint of anger at being set up: "Your Majesty! Sir… what were you saying just now? What is your Majesty's response? What is the questioning ceremony? I… when did I agree to marry you?” Tieu Dien looked at my face, which was red because of excitement, and those slightly angry eyes. Not only was he not angry, but in the bottom of his eyes, there was also a very faint hint of a smile. He took a step forward, pressing close to me, his eyes deep like a vortex.

“Tham Tri Vi,” he called my name, his voice low, carrying an irresistible charm, “that candy, you have tasted for ten years.”

“Now,” he held out his hand, his fingertips lightly brushing the corner of my lips, causing a shiver, “it's your turn.”

“It's your turn.”

His fingertips carried temperature hot, gently passing through the corner of my lips, like a small spark, in an instant it spread throughout my whole body. That low yet enchanting voice, carrying a certainty that did not allow for doubt, went straight into my ears, reaching the bottom of my heart. I suddenly turned my head away, avoiding the touch of his fingertips, my heart pounding in my chest, almost breaking my ribs. The heat on his face was intense, even his ears were incredibly hot.

“King!”

I was both embarrassed and angry, even my voice changed.

“Marriage is such a big deal, how can it be considered a joke?

How could you...how could you, without my consent, go to ask for instructions from Your Majesty?" Tieu Dien repeated those two words, as if he heard something extremely interesting. He withdrew his hands, clasped them behind his back, and looked at me leisurely.

"You waited for her for ten years and protected her for so long. Do you think you are playing a game of pawn and pawn with her?"

He took a step forward, his imposing manner fell, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, locking tightly with my avoiding eyes.

“Tham Tri Vi, look at you.”

I was forced by the strength of his words to have no way to retreat, I could only grit my teeth and raise my head to face those deep, bottomless eyes. In it, there are extremely strong emotions, there is a determination that must be achieved, there is a desire that has been suppressed for many years, and there is also a trace of... tension that is difficult to detect, as if afraid of being rejected.
