Chapter Title: Waking Up to Something Different (3)

Chapter no. 44

(Qin Zetian's POV)

A marriage? Is this man crazy?

Startled by his unexpected answer I sat upright and think deeply. Where the heck am I? And how did I get to meet someone psychotic? At this era I never thought scammers do exist! Who does he think he is? But the most pressing matter is how will I sit still and marry just like this?

I stared at him unbelievingly, with brows raised and a smugly questioning face.

\"I know, it is hard to digest but you have no choice. Blame it to the horse who delivered you in our doorstep. He shouldn't have traveled here to bring you to the emperor. Now the emperor bestowed a marriage between us. I am not a stingy person so I am giving you a choice, if you want to leave I can give a pretense to my father about it.\"

\"Where is this place? How come my father's horse have driven so far?\"

\"I don't know since when the Lord Pegasus became your father's horse. That noble man can shift as a horse whenever he wants to, but I don't have any idea why he brought you here in the first place. He only said that you need treatment.\" He answered

\"A horse can transform? You must be joking\" Damn, I must be in a fairytale, will I see Barbie here too with her majestic Pegasus horses? Or is it possible to see Sleeping Beauty and her fairies? Or maybe Snow White and the Seven Dwarves live here? I must be becoming muddleheaded.

\"But I am not joking, this is the mystic realm, it is possible for magic and all sorts of oddity to exist.\" He answered, and what's more creepy is that his face reflects his sincerity and honesty

\"You mean you have dragons here?\" I asked and gulped my saliva down

\"You're odd, amongst the humans dragons do exist. How come you knew nothing about us?\" he asked, like duhhh how will I know something if I have never read books about fairytales when I wandered my father's library? And how exactly will I know if I'm only a wandering soul! I didn't come from this fictional world like duhhh, and definitely not from this era.

\"Where are we exactly?\"

\"Come let me help you\" he helped me up

He held my hand and assisted me towards the windows. And when I saw what's outside I thought he brought me to paradise. No way! This is insane

\"Pinch me\" I said and he did so painfully, damn it! A place like this really exist! If I didn't see this in front of me right now I wouldn't believe it's real in the first place

\"Welcome to Crimson Blood Kingdom\" He monotonously said

I thought the movie Lord of the Rings is made out of the writer's imagination, but look I am standing to something otherworldly beautiful! And the creatures of Narnia are real! They exist here!

It amazes me to be able to stand here today, with a man holding me close to him. Oh such a wonderful feeling. So romantic—

Wait!

A man!

\"Why did they chose me to marry you, out of all the women here why ME? I don't understand at all\"

\"I don't understand either, when I woke up the emperor has urged me to accept the imperial decree out of thin air.\" He answered as if like it's not a big deal so why am I fussing over it?

\"How are you related to the emperor?\" I asked

He just smiled at me like he heard something funny. It makes me want to hit him, but I don't want to damage such a beautiful piece of art. Oh man, I feel ashamed that I am standing next to someone so godly. Damn, he smell so good.

\"Why should I tell you?\"

\"And why not? How will I know who I'm marrying if you won't talk?\"

\"Wait you're considering the marriage?\"

\"I never said I do\"

His face changed into a blank look.

\"Until then I won't tell you\" he waved his hand as he turn his back

Then he left me there. He walk to the door without pleasantries. And for some reason I felt cold.

The place is huge. My room is facing a large waterfall, and it feels like the room I'm in is floating. When I look through the area, flowers of spring flourishes almost everywhere. The air is so fresh but the clouds are oddly pinkish.

The sky is Crystal blue, yet why is the clouds colored baby pink? It is because this is the Crimson Blood Kingdom or is it because they have a hidden history that I need to solve?

For the meantime let me think of a way to get back to Zhou Kingdom. My business will fall tragically without me! I need to convince that man to bring me home.

But he needs to explain what I will lose and what I will gain through this marriage proposal. Like what modern people say \"marriage is a business\", he's not bad looking. In fact I must be the lucky one, to be able to marry such man. Let's just say I was too caught up in military that I forgot to find myself a boyfriend in my past life. But here's the chance now, hunky and yummy. Then I smiled to myself, I feel like I hit the jackpot.
