To Not Be A Burden

"Another threat?!" Hu Dengxiao cried out. His voice raised an octave, as his eyes grew wide. His glare swam with an emotion unfamiliar with his nature. 

"Wuyi is overstepping their boundaries with this threat, Your Highness!" Hu Dengxiao exasperated. He pointed an accusational finger towards the letter. His entire body trembled with rage.

Lu Tianbi pressed her lips together. She rarely saw Hu Dengxiao infuriated. He would only lose his cool when she was hurt, or when the Commander was placed in harm's way. Hu Dengxiao only loses his smile for his friends.

Peering over, Lu Tianbi quietly read the letter to herself.

"This is the final warning. There will not be a letter the next time. The next thing that comes is Wuyi's army. If Xueyue is ever placed in harm's way again, you can be sure that this marriage will be annulled. Alliance or not, Xueyue will return home. Wuyi will protect her, more than her own husband can."
