5 Kneeling? Well I was told to? As my pride only does this cause I have to! Even as evil as she was!

I knelt there for hours upon hours till his highness came, "Ku? Why are you kneeling here?"

"I was told to, even when my pride is hurt and cause I have to," I replied.

"Your pride?" He asked.

"As a man! Is what I was raised with but since I'm in the palace my pride can't be put here." I explained, "So I do as I'm ordered till no one can boss me around no more, and I'm free."

"Free? You could have left a long time ago." He replied.

"No, what I mean is...Never mind that's something your highness should not be concerned about." I said.

He grabbed my hand and I had stood up but knees were numb so it was hard to move, but I smiled anyway and he noticed my teeth again.

"Your teeth are quite pointy, never truly knew. My, My, I really wanna know the secrets you hold." I..looked down, not even showing a little glance.

"Your highness, this is not something this servant knows of! Please don't dare tease this servant." I replied.

"Husband! This lowly servant dare take your attention from me, I made him kneel." She spoke bluntly.

[Nante takusan no detarame!]

"I mean, this servant doesn't dare do anything to ruin your highness's relationship with lady Ai," I muttered under my breath.

He turned his gaze to her with a mere glance, "Ku, would never do anything stupidly to offend you, had he did, he never means to, according to every servant I've met, Ku never does anything unless it's for a really good reason! So you Ai Qi, better have a good reason to punish my mother's personal servant who severed my grandmother and my late grandfather since childhood! Without thinking of death by his majesty, MY FATHER!" He shouted in anger.

She trembled, "Your highness should spare her, as cunning as she was, she did it out of love for you, had she done out of pure greed for power, I would have killed her, my self regardless of the circumstances but, I don't dare do unless I'm told to."

"Ku, You are really vicious despite the side I see every single day." She spoke.

I turned around, "Ah, Greetings to your majesty, I..didn't think you would come so late."

I sighed, "I'm busted aren't I? Your majesty, can you tell his highness not to say anything that happened today, I'd rather not get so questioned so late in the day."

His eyes gazed at me, "Ku, Tell me, what does Royal mother mean by..Vicious? Tell me!"

I sighed again, "Your highness, this isn't something I'm normally, I would appreciate if you didn't tell anyone what you saw today, at all, if you did then, I might have to leave again..for a long time."

"Yes, You're supposed to be my teacher, and my buddy." He smiled, "But you shouldn't be so mean, such a stingy person aren't you."

[Kechidesu ka? Kare wa doko kara mananda nodarou ka? Osoraku kare no sofu?]

"I mean, your highness please don't tease this servant, Doesn't dare do anything to offend you what's so ever," I muttered.

He smiled, "For a teacher, you're far nicer than others."

"Your highness, I wouldn't my self dead now would I? I obviously have goals to achieve before I die." I said.

"Goals? You have something your not telling me, dear Ku." He whispered in my ear.

I turned around so he could see me, (This kid! Be damned if I tell him how my family actually treats me.)

"Your highness, I should get to rest, tomorrow is a very important day and I can't dare to slack off," I muttered.

He smiled, softly replied, "Alright then, but you better tell me one-day dear bunny."

He walked out of my courtyard, as I sighed.

"Ku gong gong, here the soup you ordered," Nana spoke.

"Thank you." I smiled.

I ate it all, then went to bed.
