Arrogant Young Master

3 days ago

A young man is seen walking at a fast pace. His back straight, his movements were majestic, and every ounce of his being was noble.

"Royal Father, I request your audience."

"Come in." a sick and aged voice rang out from behind the doors.

He walks in and kneels.

"Royal Father, your son has a request."

"...Chang'er, I thought I made it clear last time to not mention this topic again."

"Father, I've gathered information from the last few days. Liao Ling is too outgoing and strong. I'm afraid that Meng Yu…Will only suffer. Sigh~"

"And so you want to marry her?" Without beating around the bush he said what he thought.

"Father, this is for the good of-"

"Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking…Alright let's stop here."

"F-father, please think this over."

The old man turned his body away to signal that he wasn't going to change his mind.

"....then father…please take care."

The Emperor finally looked at his son's leaving back.

'Sigh~ Chang'er, you're too greedy.' he shook his head.

Outside of the palace he rode on his carriage. Once he was inside he slammed the carriage door.

"Damn it! If I had known Liao Ling was actually Pei Ling, I would have stopped this wedding right from the start!"

He clenched his hands so tightly that his fingernails bit into his skin, causing him to bleed.

Meng Chang stood in front of the red light district. After going into the building and avoiding all the women that came up to him, he knocked on a door.

"What brings you here?" a female voice sounded.

"Of course, to taste the finest of wine, here at Fragrance inn."

He stood for a second and then heard a 'click'.

The door opened up and he entered.

"Master." The lady spoke and bowed respectfully.

"How are things here?"

"As the master has ordered, we have taken over Fragrance inn. Right now we already have a lot of information from court officials."

"Very good. Continuing doing well, if there's anything, report to me with the usual method."

"Yes, master."

He grabbed a few bottles of wine and left.

"Master the carriage is ready."

"Hmm." he looks up to see the clear weather. "This time, I'll head back on my own. It'd be a shame to not enjoy the weather."

"What about guards?"

"No one will be able to harm me. Go and return."

"Yes, Master."

He nonchalantly walks down the street to see commoners working in stalls. He then looks at the buildings, the streets, the people, the land.

'One day, these will all be mine.' Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

"Today's a good day-"

"Help! A Thief!"

Meng Chang's eyes narrowed and he became pissed off. "You actually dare in front of this sovereign?"

With his strong martial arts he caught up to the thief grabbing them by the shoulder.

"You'll have to pay for disrupting my day." He then gipped the shoulder extremely hard.

"AUGH!!!" The thief dropped to their knees unable to withstand the pain.

"Thank you sir!" A girl dressed in commoners' clothing thanked him.

"No worries, as citizens of my country you-"

He looked over the maids shoulder and saw a young lady behind her.

"Tch, Hua, I could've just taken down the thief by myself."

"It's fine if we lose money, but the madam will hit me if you don't act ladylike!"

"Who care's."

Meng Chang looked at her and his inner lust surged. Although he had seen many beauties, this woman was rather…different.

He didn't know why either, but he felt his chest beating harder and harder.

"Let's go." Finding the arrogant guy annoying Liao Ling wanted to leave as quickly as possible.

"M-Miss please wait!"

"What?"

"What is miss name?"

"....Pei Ling." The maid by the side was about to say something, but then lowered her head.

And then with a turn Liao Ling left.

"Pei Ling…" he smiled. 'One day she'll also be mine!'

Then he turned to the palace and returned.

"Miss…why did you lie." The maid asked.

"Why would I give my real name to that guy?"

"But….isn't he handsome?" The maid couldn't help blushing a little.

"Ah~ Hua'er's type is that huh? In terms of looks, he's mediocre at best. From the way he's dressed he looks like a young master. I don't like those arrogant young masters, they piss me off. Also what did he say? 'No worries, as citizens of my country', who the fuck is he fooling? He thinks he's all so great after taking down a third rate thief."

she scoffed.

"He could've just said, 'no problem' or 'you're welcome'. I don't want to give my name to someone like that."

Now that Hua heard what her miss said, she also started to not like Meng Chang as much.
