Night, Blood Symbol Alliance.
In the courtyard, Liu Lan's courtyard and outside were filled with guards. Tomorrow was the day of the marriage contest, so these guards would definitely be on high alert tonight. They would not let Liu Lan escape, nor would they let anyone get close to Liu Lan, not even Liu Zhengtang.
The light in her room flickered. Even though it was late at night, Liu Lan was still awake. She was sitting on a chair, looking at the moon through the window. The moon was half round and half incomplete, just right, making one unable to find their bearings.
At this moment, Liu Lan's maidservant knocked on the door and walked in. She had been taking care of First Miss's daily life recently. She held a few plates of desserts in her hands and placed them on Liu Lan's table.
"Miss, eat some." The maidservant said, "You're eating too little, your body won't be able to take it."
Unfortunately, Liu Lan did not move after hearing her words. She continued to look at the moon through the window with an indescribable expression on her face.
"Miss …" The maidservant could not help but say again. This time, Liu Lan finally moved.
She gently turned to look at the maidservant, then looked at the desserts on the table and said softly, "I'm not eating, sit with me for a while."
The maidservant became even more anxious, but seeing Liu Lan's state, she could only sit down obediently.
"Talk to me." Liu Lan smiled weakly and said, "I don't know if I'll have the chance tomorrow."
"Miss!" The maidservant was anxious and said hurriedly, "You definitely will. Even if Miss goes to the Chu royal residence, I'll follow Miss there to serve you!"
Liu Lan nodded slightly, then smiled lightly. She rarely smiled and said, "Who knows, I might not need to go to the Chu royal residence tomorrow."
"Miss, are you still thinking about him?" The maidservant said anxiously, "Don't count on him anymore, there's been no news from him for a whole month, who knows where he's gone now! If he really cares about Miss, how could he be so heartless! "
Liu Lan shook her head and said, "Or maybe he's entangled with something and can't get away? He once risked his life to save me, he's not that kind of person. "
"Miss …" Seeing Liu Lan's stubbornness, the maidservant was so anxious that she did not know what to say. She asked, "If he doesn't return tomorrow, what will Miss do?"
"Not coming back?" Liu Lan lowered her head and said softly, "If I don't come back, I can only leave with Prince Chu. But I will not be with him. When I return to the Chu royal residence, I will drink a cup of poisoned wine and end my life. "
"Miss!" The maid was very anxious and quickly got up, but she didn't know what to say.
At the same time, there was another person standing by the window at the back of the house, frowning.
"You don't have to persuade me." Liu Lan looked at the maid and smiled, "I've made up my mind. I won't let other men sully my body."
The maid became even more anxious when she heard this. At this moment, a sound suddenly came from outside.
"Prince Chu has arrived!"
Immediately, the maid looked outside. Liu Lan, on the other hand, frowned slightly. Without even looking outside, she said indifferently, "Tell him that I'm resting."
The maid was stunned. Then, she heard a series of footsteps and a knock on the door. She was startled and quickly ran to open the door.
"Greetings, Prince Chu." The maid bowed at the door.
"Where's Liu Lan?" Prince Chu looked into the boudoir with a smile. But his vision was limited and he could only see that there was no one in the outer room.
"Miss is asleep!" The maid quickly said, "So … it's not convenient for her to see guests!"
"Asleep? How can there be such a strange thing as sleeping with the light on? "Prince Chu laughed and said," Besides, you'll be mine tomorrow. What's there to be shy about? "
With that, Prince Chu was about to walk in. Seeing this, the maid quickly stopped him and said, "Prince Chu, you must not!"
After being stopped twice, Prince Chu immediately frowned and raised his hand to push the maid away. He said loudly, "If you block my way again, I'll kill you!"
With that, Prince Chu strode into the house. Just as he was about to walk in, he saw the curtain suddenly lift and Liu Lan walk out.
Upon seeing Liu Lan, a smile appeared on Prince Chu's face. He looked at Liu Lan with satisfaction. It was a great blessing for him to have found such a beauty.
"What are you doing here?" Liu Lan frowned at Prince Chu and asked coldly.
"Of course I'm here to see you!" Prince Chu smiled as he approached Liu Lan and said, "I've been waiting for a month. I'm going to die from holding it in! You'll be mine tomorrow. What's the difference between waiting one day? "
With that, Prince Chu opened his arms and pounced towards Liu Lan. Liu Lan's eyes hardened and she immediately pulled out the sword from the wall. With a 'weng' sound, she pointed the sword at Prince Chu's throat.
Prince Chu immediately stopped in his tracks. A chill spread throughout his body and all his desires disappeared.
"What … what are you doing?!" Prince Chu looked at Liu Lan and said angrily.
"We've decided on tomorrow's duel for marriage, so it must be tomorrow," Liu Lan said in a low voice. "If you really win tomorrow, I'll naturally leave with you. Before that, don't even think of touching me! "
"You!" Prince Chu looked at Liu Lan and gnashed his teeth in hatred. But on second thought, he was no longer angry. The hotter Liu Lan was, the more he liked it. When the time came, he would have a stronger sense of conquest. Tomorrow night would be the time for him to vent his anger.
"Alright, I won't touch you!" Prince Chu stepped back and out of the range of the sword. He said with a smile, "But when you marry into my Chu royal family, you will definitely have to listen to me. When the time comes, whether you become my legal wife or a concubine will depend on whether you serve me well. "
Liu Lan frowned when she heard this. Her eyes were filled with disgust. She said, "Do you have something to say? If not, then leave. I want to rest! "
"It's nothing." Prince Chu said with a smile. "But I have to remind you that once I win tomorrow, you must leave with me immediately. You don't have to come back here or say goodbye. There will be plenty of opportunities for this in the future. "
Liu Lan frowned even more. She did not respond and only asked coldly, "Is there anything else?"
"No." Prince Chu chuckled and said, "In that case, I'll wait for you in the arena tomorrow."
With that, Prince Chu turned and left, laughing as he walked. Liu Lan frowned when she heard this detestable laughter. The maidservant on the floor got up and quickly closed the door.
"Miss …" The maidservant came to Liu Lan's side and looked at her worriedly.
"I'm fine." Liu Lan shook her head and threw the sword aside. She said lightly, "I'm also a little tired. I'll rest now."
With that, Liu Lan did not say anything else. She went back inside and blew out the lamp before lying on the bed to rest.
The light in the room disappeared. At the same time, a figure behind the room also left.

On the other side of the Blood Symbol Alliance, in the meeting hall.
Everyone knew that Prince Chu had just come. Liu Zhengtang and all the core members were sitting in the meeting hall, and their expressions were not good.
Liu Zhengtang had always doted on his daughter. Everyone knew this. Now, Liu Lan was being forced to marry Prince Chu. Everyone knew what kind of person Prince Chu was. He was a good-for-nothing in the Tianlang Kingdom who was obsessed with women. Liu Lan would not have many good days after marrying him.
However, even though everyone here knew this would happen, no one dared to persuade Liu Zhengtang to stop it. Because if he did, the Blood Symbol Alliance would suffer. Once Prince Chu was really angry, the entire Blood Symbol Alliance would be bathed in blood. They also had family members. They could not die in vain.
"Alliance Leader." Fang Zhangwen looked at the serious Liu Zhengtang and said, "We have to think positively. No matter what, Miss will become Princess Chu. This is a very high status. When Prince Chu becomes a prince and obtains his own territory, Princess Chu will be even more powerful. "
However, Liu Zhengtang did not react to Fang Zhangwen's words. Fang Zhangwen knew that the Alliance Leader did not care about what he could obtain in the future. What he cared about was whether his daughter was happy or not.
The Alliance Leader had always used his own strength to build a good future for his daughter. He did not want his daughter to suffer. However, the Alliance Leader had worked hard for his entire life. He did not expect this result.
"Alliance Leader …" Fang Zhangwen said worriedly.
"Say no more." Liu Zhengtang waved his hand and said, "I won't do anything tomorrow. I won't interfere."
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Although this would be unfair to the Alliance Leader, for the sake of the Blood Symbol Alliance and themselves, this was the only way.
