Chapter 3 — We Don't Fight or Win, We Just Quietly Take It All

Not only does he have the talent to cross the ocean, but his swordsmanship is also outstanding. Coming from a white background, he still continuously defeated a group of nobles and kings, making them all lose their hearts and minds. After winning the prize, a lady watching the ring boldly expressed her feelings to him. But Trieu Toai did not waver. He just calmly replied:

"I already have someone in my heart, I can't marry her."

The girl was not willing, so she asked who the person in his heart was. Trieu Toai replied:

“Giang family Minh Nguyet.”

As soon as this word spread, Giang Minh Nguyet's reputation became even more widespread, and the number of people who admired and pursued her also increased significantly. In this world, there are always people who use the number of male admirers to measure a woman's success. And Giang Minh Nguyet is obviously someone who is admired by countless people. She loves swordsmanship, but she can't find a worthy opponent. The people who were assigned to practice swordplay with her did not dare to actually take action. Because her personality is erratic and unpredictable, once she gets angry, it's not unheard of to kill someone. Therefore, when she heard that a man dared to openly express his feelings to her in broad daylight, she immediately rode a horse to find him. You must know that, ever since she planned to kiss Ly Minh Chieu, men in the capital all avoided her like avoiding evil. She has never met anyone with such courage. It was also from that moment that she began to develop interest in Trieu Toai. Trieu Toai is a completely different person from Ly Minh Chieu. Ly Minh Chieu is the King, a person with high expectations. The words he said about me, weren't they also talking about his arranged life? But Trieu Toai is different. He is an unfettered, free-spirited swordsman. This identity, rich enough, is enough to fascinate a chambermaid who has only seen a corner of the world through stories. With just a few words, Trieu Toai sketched out a world full of flowers before Giang Minh Nguyet's eyes - making her wholeheartedly look forward to it. On the full moon day of the first lunar month, because Giang Minh Nguyet secretly met Trieu Toai, her father locked her at home and used family law. This time, the rattan whip still broke, her ambition remained unchanged. When it was the busiest outside, the Prime Minister's Palace was a mess. Trieu Toai at the back wall of the Prime Minister's Palace, the place closest to Giang Minh Nguyet, released hundreds of Khong Minh lanterns. The fire was as bright as day. He climbed the wall and hugged Giang Minh Nguyet with red eyes, looking down at the world's scenery from the roof with her. On crowded Truong An Street, Giang Minh Nguyet saw a girl who had lost her loved ones in Dai Ngao Mountain, being teased and teased by several kidnappers. The scenario of a hero saving a beauty takes place in real life, with Trieu Toai descending from the sky. From then on, she secretly loved her— With him, wandering the world. Giang Minh Nguyet was immersed in the first love of a young woman. She had forgotten that the maid whose hands were cut off by her, crying and begging her to spare her life, had once told her.

"This slave has a fiance who studied swordsmanship at Chung Nam Mountain, and is very powerful. When he returns from his studies, he will go to the Prime Minister's Palace to marry the slave."

“At that time, the slave - a small maid, can also be a bride beautiful once!”

But that little maid, in the end, lost her arms that night. Giang Minh Nguyet didn't come home for several nights, both father and Dai Lady knew clearly in their hearts. But he did not dare to believe that his daughter, who had been pampered for many years, would do such a disgraceful thing. The Prime Minister's Palace was a mess, my father suppressed the rumors outside. Just say that Giang Minh Nguyet went out on a trip, absolutely not allowing anyone to mention the matter of running away. Father and the Great Lady had a big argument, even getting physical.

“Elope with a man! What a good daughter you are!”

And my serious illness has also improved a lot at this time. Paper cannot wrap fire, the news that Giang Minh Nguyet "went out to visit the capital" before the wedding still reached the Queen's ears. The Queen was furious and ordered an artist to paint portraits of the young ladies waiting to marry the mandarins in the capital, wanting to choose a dignified and respectful Crown Princess for the Crown Prince. After not seeing each other for a while, Ly Minh Chieu became more emaciated. When he learned that there was no trace of Giang Minh Nguyet, there was some disappointment in his eyes.
