I alone am the Honoured One! - Chapter 259

Chapter 259: Some time with Aunt Zuiye!
After a little commotion in the Lunar Blossom Pavillion, Zhao Tian flew back to the Royal Palace and sneaked into Ning Xue’s room.

He felt it was easier than coming from the entrance of the royal palace.

As he came out of her room, the female servant who was standing outside was startled, but then she quickly bowed, “Your Highness!”

Zhao Tian gave a nod and walked past her to the next room. The woman looked at him curiously and asked, ‘How is His Highness coming from Her Majesty’s room every time?’

“Aunt Zuiye!” As Zhao Tian knocked on the door, it was instantly opened, and he saw the glowing smile on Ning Zuiye’s face: “Tiannn! Shall we go now?”

Zhao Tian gave a nod and at this time, the female servant walked near them and said, “Lady Zuiye, I have already prepared the carriage.”

“Carriage?” Zhao Tian raised an eyebrow and Ning Zuiye spoke, “Tian, I am the one who arranged it. We would need that to go around in the royal capital.”

Zhao Tian shook his head. “We don’t need that.”

Oh! Ning Zuiye nodded her head. “Ok then.”

The female servant bowed her head and left the place.

*woosh* Carrying Nimg Zuiye in his arms, Zhao Tian dashed into the air and feeling the speed of the wind hitting her face, Ning Zuiye laughed. “I wish… I could also fly like this.”

Zhao Tian looked at her and spoke with a chuckle. “For that, you have to cultivate and you haven’t even started cultivating.”

A sigh escaped Ning Zuiye’s lips. “I am still scared.”

Zhao Tian frowned and to change the topic, he asked, “Did you have your breakfast?”

Ning Zuiye shook her head. “No, let’s go and eat first.”

Zhao Tian quickly reached a restaurant and landed near it, where there were very few people and none of them noticed him.

“Cpome, let’s go in.”

As they entered the restaurant, the people were shocked to see the young man who was with the Queen there. And now there is another beautiful woman with him.

The waitress, recognizing him, quickly came and bowed, “Welcome to our restaurant, Lord.” At this time, another worker rushed in to call the owner.

Zhao Tian gave a nod and the waitress guided them to the upper stairs to their private area.

As they reached near it, an old man came rushing to them in panic and quickly fell on his knees. “Your Highness!”

He is one of the richest people in Zhenzhu so he gained some intel from some ministers about the news of the New Emperor.

The old man muttered, “Forgive me, Your Highness. I am unaware of your arrival, so I couldn’t welcome you with proper respect.”

Zhao Tian shook his head. “It is not your fault to begin with. I am the one who came unexpectedly. Get up.”

The old man nodded and stood up as he opened the door to the private area. “Here, your Highness, lady.”

Both of them entered and the old man turned to the woman and said, “Don’t tell anyone what happened here just now and treat him with respect. Serve him the greatest food.”

“O-Okay.”

…

After eating their breakfast, Zhao Tian and Ning Zuiye came out of the restaurant. “Haah, now I am full.”

Zhao Tian smiled upon seeing her smile, and Ning Zuiye wrapped both of her hands around his left arm. “So, where are you taking this old woman for the date?”

Date? Hearing her teasing tone, Zhao Tian chuckled faintly. “Let’s walk around for a bit and look around.”

“A-Ah, ok.”

*gasp* Everyone on the streets turned their eyes to Zhao Tian and Ning Zuiye and some gasped in shock looking at them.

Hm? Zhao Tian felt Ning Zuiye’s arms, which were holding his arms, trembling, and he noticed that Ning Zuiye was feeling uncomfortable being the center of attention.

Only then did he remember that Ning Zuiye had barely left her home and was always shut in because of her trauma.

“Aunt Zuiye.”

Ning Zuiye raised her head and saw him smiling at her. “Tian?” *swoosh*

E-Eh? The people who were watching them were startled as they suddenly disappeared.

…

Flying above in the air, a sigh escaped Ning Zuiye’s lips, her arms entwined around his neck and seeing her sigh Zhao Tian asked “Why did you ask for sight seeing, if you can’t be comfortable around people?”

Ning Zuiye muttered softly “I just wanted to see what have changed in Royal capital after all these years and also thought of coming out of my trauma.”

“But after feeling all the eyes on me, it was so uncomfortable and I was so cared. Glad you noticed and took me from there.”

“Don’t you feel uncomfortable, Tian?”

Zhao Tian shrugged “I have gotten used to it.” Because of his handsomeness, he mostly has been the center of attention, At first, he was also concerned by their stares and often wore caps or masks to cover his face.

But later, he got used to it and thought Why should he have to hide his natural handsomeness? He can just show off proudly.

…

*tap* They landed on a park and looking around, Ning Zuiye was amused “I haven’t seen this park before. Seems like this is new.”

“Yeah…” Zhao Tia muttered and there are very few people inside this park.

After a short walk, they came to the center of the park and Ning Zuiye was confused by the monument in front of her.

But after reading the board above, her heart shook and her eyes quivered in shock. ‘Monument for the Royal family who were dead in the Coup?’

She glanced at the golden slates and the names of her father and mother engraved on them. There are also names of many members of the royal family like cousins, her sister, and even her own name.

“This is how I found that you are Xue’er’s sister.”

Ning Zuiye’s eyes moistened with tears as she again remembered about her family and the golden days of her life, with her sisters and family.

“T-Tian…” Tears streamed down her cheeks, feeling so emotional, and she turned to Zhao Tian for a shoulder to lean on.

As she leaned in, Zhao Tian hugged her in his arms and softly patted her head comforting her.

Ning Zuiye too buried her face in his chest and felt his warm hand patting her head, his soothing words caressing his ears.
