RESERVED NATURE

She never had seen her father displaying his art or any battle but she had intuition that her father was best among the best and now when she saw him in action she was completely lost in the moments, her body quivering with emotions and two big round drops of tears fell immediately.

Her father was the master of Art of Sword.

General cast his eyes on her and was stunned why she was crying, he dropped his sword on the ground and ran to catch her falling tears.

Grabbed her daughter and pressed her against his broad chest, coaxing, and said "My daughter what made you cry, are you afraid of anything? Tell father, I will immediately fetch for you, whatever it takes cost," she rounded her small arms around her father neck.

"Father, this small daughter of your wanted to become like father, best among best, I love you," her tears were still dropping and she kissed his cheeks innocently, "Oh…this small mater made my daughter cry?" he cupped her face in his hands.

"Father promise this daughter once you reach eight years old I will start teaching Sword Art to my daughter and my daughter will make her name throughout Kingdom and will be proud of this father, now stop crying," he coaxed her.

"Now that's like best daughter," she wiped her face and grabbed his legs like a child, her father was like a towering mountain to her, "Promise father?" "Of course but you have to promise me first, make your heart strong for your father because learning Sword Art required strong heart," she jiggled her head and came out of the practice ring.

"Small Child," he smiled to himself.

Wan Hu Shang looked at this with great astonishment, his usually tough and stalwart nature master was this affectionate? Truly impressive, it looks that he cared everything for his daughter.

If her father was given a choice between King of the whole Kingdom or daughter to choose, he would not think twice to choose his daughter.

There was not a hint of envy in his bright eyes, in fact, appreciating that she was really fortunate to have such a father.

They again started Sword Art moves this time Wan Hu Shang tried to intimidate the moves quickly. They continued until evening.

Soft linen light robs of Wan Hu were sink into sweat though the master was just teaching he was wearing a fighter suit and after finishing today lesson they came out of practice ring.

Father and daughter were invited on dinner, they prepared and joined in royal dinner, King was not present, and Queen and Prince welcomed them in a royal manner.

They sat around the dinner table, "General Zhong your daughter is smart she left me perplexed today but now I share her thought," she was in good mood.

General was in awe to hear the Queen, there were often days when he was not home in order to fulfill his duties so this rare interaction resulted in a small gape which was, he was not fully aware of her accomplishments as well as deficiencies but he tried his best to clear this gape.

The general looked at his daughter.

"Did you annoy your Queen?"

"This is not the case father when we departed from each other she was happy, is that not the truth beautiful Queen? She looked at her expectantly.

"I consent this child is right and I am not angry at all, may this Queen know your name?"

"My Queen this child bears the name Henan Zhong daughter of General Zhong and I am pleased to meet you," she rose up from her seat and bowed toward Queen.

"This is the most beautiful name I have ever heard," Queen was impressed by her manners. She nodded and said, "I am Queen Zenna Shang and this is my only son Wan Hu Shang and I am very delighted to meet you, from now on you will be this Queen's favored daughter."

Henan looked at her father, he nodded his head, Henan looked at Queen and bowed, "I am pleased to have this honor but…" she was a little hesitant.

Queen also got puzzled "But?" she asked, "I wish that this honor won't hurdle my ways of existence… I wanted to live the way I feel the world around myself."

If her first interaction with Henan left her perplexed, this second she felt awful.

Many girls dream this to have this title and this small child had her own preservation.

"Ah…sure you have complete liberty as for how you wanted to grow up," she was flabbergasted. General Zhong was a little anxious of Queen's displeasure but he was here to solve any conflict for his daughter.

Fortunately, Queen was not proud of social standing and status, in fact, she was the most courteous woman.

This small girl was like a doll that could speak and react on its own.

Wan Hu was secretly shocked to see her reserved nature since she was his master's daughter she meets the criteria to be of a master's daughter, today dinner was refreshing he thought.

He was Prince and heir of Crown in the future, he never had such tender treatment and after he met his master he made him as his ideal and inspiration to learn and become as his master was capable thus devoted his time to his martial arts and with other necessary arts.

This child was the reason of his astonishment and that his master had devoted his time to his daughter too, she did not lack his love and attention.

He felt that the first time in his life he was surprised as well as happy. He took permission from his mother mistress and went to his room.

It would be pleasant to see her fulfilling her dreams with the help of her father.

They went to their rooms one by one after dinner.
