The noise of the festival had stopped. Ming Yi was standing on the balcony of his room, enjoying the cool breeze. Bai Lu's words were still piercing his mind like poison. Just then, a voice came from behind. 'Oh my Sword princess! Today you made the whole palace dance with your dance! I thought you would be wearing anklets instead of a sword.'
Ming Yi looked back. Her older brother was grinning, his hand holding a plate of sweets. Even though Song Tao is wearing royal robes, he doesn't have the solemnity of a royal palace. He really talks a lot.
"Brother! You haven't slept yet?" Ming Yi said with a soft smile.
"Sleep? And won't you eat sweets after the victory of this sister's tribe? You know, when I saw you do that 'triple spin', I got stuck in the shell while eating sweets! I was so scared, Dad!" Song Tao said the words one by one.
The fatigue on Ming Yi's face disappeared. she knows, so tae doesn't like war. He also has a trull, but he keeps it only for 'practice'. He wants peace, loves to read books, and talks like a babbling.
"Why didn't you go to war, brother? Maybe if you did, our monks would be more confident," Ming Yi asked.
Song Tao put down the dessert plate and calmed down a bit. "Yi, I know you know how to save the kingdom with the sword. But I want you to be able to put that sword down and sleep peacefully someday. To bring about that peace, I want to defeat the enemy through politics and words. Only blood flows in war, sister. I don't love blood."
Ming Yi held his older brother's hand. "You really are one of a kind, brother. If you speak, the enemy might faint just by listening to you!"
He burst out laughing again.
"That's my plan! Listen, don't worry too much. That Bai Lu girl is a bit too much, you're really the best."
"Thank you, brother." Ming Yi smiled softly and said.
"Let's fight with swords and see who wins, you or me." Song Tao smiled softly and said.
"Okay, come on." Ming Yi smiled softly and said.
They go to the round to fight. They both started fighting with swords. Even if Tae doesn't go to war, he can fight very well. Neither of them could beat the other. Once upon a time, Ming Yi started losing but won for a while.
"Brother, you need to practice more." Ming Yi smiled softly and said.
"You are right. I should practice more." Song Tao smiled softly and said.
"Brother, do you love Xu Yan?" Ming Yi asked Tae.
"Yes, I love Xu Yan. When I go near her, my heart feels good. The reason I live." Song Tao smiled softly and said.
Ming Yi smiles softly.
"When you love someone, you will understand my feelings," Song Tao said.
"Okay, goodbye, see you tomorrow morning, brother." Ming Yi said.
