Everyone feels like walking on a thin ice on a lake that is so wide, no one knows where or when this will end.
The atmosphere as well is so cold. Guards, servants as well as the aide like Xi Ma is only communicating through their eyes afraid to even utter one word to annoy their Highness Prince Wei further.
Even the birds that normally the prince focus his attention at, is afraid to approach him. Since there is a bird beast sanctuary next to the Wei Palace, different types of this species can be seen anywhere, but none of that due to the bad temper of their palace master.
Sitting in the high chair that looks like a throne, his silence was so serene and threatening at the same time. A calm before a storm.
He sat with one leg thrown over the arm of the chair, his elbow on the armrest, cheeks against his knuckles as he stared blankly, no one in particular. His other hand that is wrapped with medical strips is on top of his thigh.
The prince brows wrinkled sometimes that says he is trying to solve a very difficult problem. Lips sometimes twitching, probably trying to determine if he will smile or just frown, better yet scowl. 'Is he sulking?'
What could be the problem? The prince only went to the Gao Manor earlier to transfer the ownership of the purple rose herb.
Glancing at the guards that were with the Prince when he went out, Xi Ma only got a shrug of the shoulder as they are also not aware of what went wrong in the Gao Manor.
They moved closer to him and whispered most of the interesting events happened at the Gao Manor that morning.
From the time, Wei Jiayi annoyed Gao Lan Mei by pulling her resulting for a bird waste to suddenly appear on the master's hair.
Next is the very strange situation wherein the Purple Rose herb choose two owners than to the part wherein Gao Lan Mei treated the prince wound.
'So that's what that medical strip is for.' to think that the prince will even hurt himself because of this, to the extent of not removing the thing on his hand, since Xi Ma can bet that the wound is already gone at this time.
The prince is acting strangely. Too strange even Xi Ma is unable to cope right now. Its like they are doing an experiment, hoping it will not explode anytime.
Xi Ma is just thankful that the brute and noisy captain that only thinks with his muscles is not currently present. Who knows if he decided to suddenly blurt out something stupid that might cause the prince to finally snap.
"What do you think about the Gao Miss?" Wei Jiayi suddenly asked, eyes looking at Xi Ma intently, at the back of his mind regretting even blurting that out.
With a gulped, not sure why this prince asked the question since His Highness does not talk about women. The prince loathes them.
How many times has Xi Ma heard a woman cry for mercy, begging for forgiveness because of 'accidentally' grabbing the prince sleeve?
Deciding to just answer the question, "Ah, personally Master, I find the miss unique." deciding with the safest answer. Not negative, not positive.
"Why?" Wei Jiayi feels Xi Ma's answer is lacking. 'Unique? There is surely no one have the guts to disrespect him aside from her so far.'
Xi Ma decided to be specific, "The Gao Miss that we met is different from the rumors. She is a waste there is no doubt but still capable..." Pausing to observe the prince reaction, whose face is still indifferent.
