Chapter 5 Chapter Four

She showed up at the wedding in black, purely to annoy the Scot.However, as soon as she stepped into the hall, Jie Mi knew that her plan had failed.Because when he saw her clothes, Ariel laughed loudly. Jamie must not have thought that her rebellion pleased him so much, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to such lengths to try to provoke him, Ariel thought.Her back was straight as a queen, she never seemed to bow her head to anyone, and she would probably rather die than show her feminine weakness. And even though she was dressed in black, she was still extremely dazzling.Will there ever be a day in his life where he will no longer be amazed by her beauty?God!Hope he gets used to it soon.He cannot allow anyone or anything to stand in the way of his responsibility.

To him, the girl was a mystery.He knew she was a genuine English girl, but there was no trace of frailty in her.Ariel did not know how such a miracle could have happened, but he guessed it might have something to do with the fact that she had never been tainted at King Henry's court. For this, he must be grateful to the Baron Jem who has failed his father's duty.However, Ariel naturally wouldn't really thank him for this. In fact, he also doubted that Baron Jem would listen.Ever since he announced that he would marry Jamie before Jemi stepped into the hall, the baron had acted as if he had lost his soul, and now he was really crying.Ariel was so disgusted that he didn't want to talk to that man at all. He had never seen a man so embarrassing.

We're close to Baba, Jamie explained in a low voice when the Baron cried too much to even answer the priest's questions during the ceremony.Papa will miss us terribly, my lord.It was very difficult for him. She didn't look up at Ariel, but the plea for him to forgive her father was clearly written in her hoarse voice.Because of her, Ariel suppressed his displeased comments. Her pleading also gave Ariel a glimpse into another aspect of her nature: her loyalty to her family.In any case, Aleigh would regard this as a respectable merit.Coupled with the fact that her family is so unbearable, Ariel feels that she can be so loyal to them that she is almost comparable to a saint.

Jamie was too scared to lift her eyes. She and her sister kept holding each other's hands to comfort each other, while Ariel and Danny held them from left to right. Ariel even put one hand on her back to prevent She got away with it.God, how she didn't want to be afraid, she told herself it was because he was too big, enveloping her like a cloud of anger.There was heather and a very masculine smell about him, and a touch of leather, which she might have found attractive on another occasion.Now, of course, she has nothing but hatred for him. After the priest finished all the wedding prayers, he turned to Danny and asked, and then turned to Mary and asked, "Will you marry this man?"

After thinking for a long time, Mary said honestly: To be honest, I would rather not have it. Danny burst out laughing.The priest frowned and asked Mary to give him a decent answer.But Jamie began to try to move away from Ariel.She couldn't stand this man who was deliberately clinging to her side more and more.She had the urge to push him away and run out of the church as fast as she could. He must have read her thoughts, for he put an arm around her shoulders, and before she had time to protest, he held her close to his side. She tried several times to push him away, but was always unsuccessful.In the end, she had no choice but to ask him to let go of herself in a low voice.

He ignored her. On the other hand, Mary finally ended her argument with the priest and said: Oh, well!I said I would accept him, since you insisted I lie.Is this okay?priest. The priest nodded.Then he quickly turned to the pair of Ariel and Jamie.Sir, what is your full name? Kim Ah Yeol. After asking Ariel's question, the priest asked Jamie: Are you willing to marry this man? willingly?Jamie replied.The four words that the priest added casually aroused all her pent-up anger.She opened her mouth, and was about to express her opinion of the marriage in a hearty way.But at that moment, he felt Ariel put his hands around her neck.

This man deliberately wanted to scare her away, and Jie Mi stretched out his hand to push his fingers away. He clasped her fingers indifferently, and at the same time continued to exert pressure on her neck. Jamie soon understood his silent message: if she played tricks, he would strangle her.And she believed he meant it, because he was Scotch. Her neck began to tingle.I do.she blurted out. The priest sighed with relief, and immediately said the rest of the prayer quickly. He had just finished blessing the two couples when Mary tried to run out of the hall.Danny caught up with her in two strides, and pulled her into his arms in front of the priest and everyone, and silenced her screaming with a kiss.When he finally finished his gentle attack, Mary collapsed limply on top of him.Jamie thought she looked like a withered flower.

The twins were weeping again, the Baron was sniffling furiously, and Jamie wanted to die on the spot. Fortunately, regarding the wedding kiss, Jin Yalie's attitude was not as arrogant as before.He just walked over with his hands on his waist and his feet slightly in front of his bride. He didn't say a word, but his firm posture told Jamie that if he was going to stand like this all night before she looked up at him, he would actually do it.At least this time he wasn't threatening to strangle her neck anymore, Jamie reassured herself while slowly raising her eyes to meet his gaze helplessly.

His eyes were a bottomless bronze color, and there was no trace of warmth in them.Jamie stared at him for a long while without trembling, and finally couldn't help avoiding her gaze. At that moment, Ariel reached out and pulled her into his arms.While holding her chin with his hand, his mouth also covered her lips.The kiss was strong, unflinching and unbelievably warm. Jamie felt as if she was surrounded by sunlight.Before she could think of struggling, the kiss was over. She stared up at her husband for a long moment speechless, wondering if the kiss had affected him as much as it had affected her.

The confusion in Jamie's eyes made Ariel very happy.Apparently she didn't get kissed often, her face was flushed with shame by now, and her little hands were clenched tightly. Well, he was satisfied, and found that the kiss was not all unaffected by him.He couldn't stop staring at her.God!He wanted to kiss her again. Marie's yelling broke the spell. Now?Mary screamed.Jamie, they want to go now! My sister must have misunderstood you, Jamie told Ariel.You can't really leave now, can you? That's what we intended, Ariel replied.Danny and I have many responsibilities back home and we'll be leaving in an hour.

Jamie almost laughed with pleasure when she noticed that Mary and her were not included in her husband's explanation. Would you like to have dinner with us before we go?she asked tentatively. Ariel knew exactly what she was thinking, because she couldn't help emphasizing the word you.This stupid woman really thought he would keep her?Ariel was both annoyed and amused at her serious and hopeful expression. He shook his head. Jie Mi suddenly felt relieved, it turned out that this was just a marriage in name.Oh, why hadn't she thought of it earlier?Ariel and Danny had obeyed their king's orders.Now they will go home and leave the two grateful brides in England. This arrangement is not uncommon, and many marriages have been arranged in this way, and everyone is very satisfied.Jie Mi blamed herself for being so stupid for not thinking of this possibility earlier, and at the same time tacitly agreed in her heart to chant sutras for twelve days in a row. Will you come back to England for a short stay in the future?She pretended to ask casually. Only war will bring me back here. You don't have to sound like the possibility is exciting.Jamie retorted to him without thinking.She let him see her frown slightly, and didn't care if she offended him.If the man wasn't being polite, she wasn't going to bother to be.She brushed her long hair behind her shoulders, turned her back to Ariel, and slowly walked away from his side.It's getting late.Jin Yalie, she said without looking back.You'd better get going, I think you've got a lot to go before dark.She was just at the table when her husband's firm order came. Jamie, while Danny and I are getting ready to mount, go pack your things and say goodbye to your family.And, act fast. You too, Mary.Danny said in that pleasant voice that would drive Jamie crazy. Why do we have to move fast?Mary hadn't figured it out yet. But Jamie turned around all of a sudden.Kim Ah Yeol!You should have kept me here!she cried.This is a marriage for political purposes, isn't it? Ariel looked back at her steadily.Yes, wife, this is a marriage for political purposes and for my purposes, understand?He turned and walked out of the hall with Danny. As soon as his figure disappeared from sight, Jamie burst into tears. She and Mary were too distraught to pack, the twins did it for them.Allie also swore to Jamie that all her belongings would be carefully packed and sent to Scotland in a week. Thank you, sister.Jamie replied, and she quickly hugged the twins separately.Oh, I will miss you so much, you are such good sisters. Jamie, you are so brave.Erin whispered.You look so calm and dignified.If I were you, I must have gone crazy.you married that You don't have to remind her, Ellie murmured.There was no way she would ever forget that man had killed his first wife. Jamie only hoped that they would stop trying to comfort her, they made her even more disturbed. Lord Jem tugged at Jemi's skirt for her attention.I'm going to die in a week, I'm sure I will, and who's going to order my meals?Who will listen to me? Don't say that, Daddy, Erin and Allie will take good care of you.She comforted her father and kissed his forehead.Then she said: Me and Mary will come back to see you, we will be very happy She couldn't finish her lie, couldn't tell her father that they were going to be fine.Her world was in ruins, everything that was familiar and safe was ripped apart. It was Eileen who spoke out about Jamie's greatest fear.We'll never see you again, will we, Jamie?He won't let you go home, will he? I promise you I will find a way to come back and see you.Jie Mi swears, her voice trembles slightly, and her eyes hurt from tears.God!This kind of separation is really heart-wrenching. When Piccolo came to welcome Jemi, the baron was still crying about how miserable his future would be, and the more Jamie comforted him, the more he wailed.He insisted on holding Jamie's hand, so Piccolo had no choice but to start a small tug-of-war with him. Finally, with Jamie's assistance, Piccolo finally let the baron let Jamie go. Come on, Jamie, you better not piss off your new husband, who is waiting patiently in the front yard.Lord Danny and Miss Mary had already set off a quarter of an hour ago.Come with me, a new life is waiting for you! Bi Ke comforted Jie Mi with his soft voice.She took Pick's hand and held it, and started walking towards the door.As she paused to say goodbye to her family one last time, Peake pushed her from behind. Don't look back, Jamie.Also, stop trembling and think about your happy future! It's my future that makes me tremble, Jemi confesses.Pick, I don't know anything about my husband.All the terrible rumors about him worry me, and I don't want to marry him. It has been overwhelmed.Bicker said firmly.You're left with two choices, girl: you can walk into this marriage with your eyes closed and make up your mind to hate your husband, and live out the rest of your life in misery, or you can open your eyes wide and have a good time. Accept your husband and live as well as possible. I don't want to hate him. Bi Ke laughed, and Jamie's tone was so pitiful and desperate.Then don't hate him!he advised. Anyway, you were not good at hating people.You're so soft-hearted, girl.He continued to push her forward. He's a good guy, this Kim Ariel.I miss him a lot, Jamie, he will treat you kindly. How can you be sure?Jae-mi asks, and she tries to stop and turn to face Pek, but he keeps pushing her. If you recall, there was a rumor that he killed his ex-wife. Do you believe that rumor? She answered without hesitation.No! Why? Jamie shrugged.I can't tell, she said softly.But I just don't think he will. She sighed.You'll think I'm crazy, Peake.But his eyes Well, he is by no means an evil man. So what are you worried about?Piccolo said with satisfaction.Let me tell you, as soon as I saw Jin Yalie's mount, I knew he was a good man.He will treat you with equal care. God, Jamie muttered.You've been a groom for too long, Peak, horses and wives are not the same.I can see that you really believe your own nonsense, and you look happy. I'm really happy, Pick said.You see, I didn't even have to drag you, just got you outside? Jie Mi was about to say something to him, but suddenly stopped in her tracks. Ariel was standing next to his horse, and from his expression, Jamie couldn't tell what was going on in his heart.But she dared to say that he was definitely not waiting patiently for her as Peak said, he was not the patient type. Ariel also stared at her intently.Her eyes were the most variable purple he had ever seen. When would he get used to her beauty?He dared to say she would cause quite a commotion in the Highlands.It's not good for a woman to be so beautiful, and he has to be careful not to let her be his captive. She is still afraid of him.Ariel told himself that this was a good start.A wife should always be somewhat uncertain about her husband, yet he is also somewhat angry at her fear.If he hadn't seen the look in her eyes, he would have ordered her to mount quickly.She reminded him of a fawn smelling danger. It was time for him to take over control of everything, he decided.Without a word he mounted his mount. His horse strolled up to Wildfire, and Jamie's horse, unaccustomed to the smell of males around him, began to get agitated.Ariel reached for the rein from the bewildered groom and commanded the mare to be quiet. Wildfire immediately complied.This made Jie Mi startled, and also had the mentality to fight. Jie Mi raised the corners of her skirt and gracefully walked towards Wildfire.Piccolo helped her mount the horse and patted her hand. Promise me, old man, that you will get on well with your husband, he commanded.Then Piccolo smiled at Ariel again.You will remember your promise to me, my lord? Ariel nodded.He decided to take over and control the whole situation from now on, so he pushed his mount and rode forward, leaving Jie Mi staring blankly at his back.She was so surprised that she even forgot to ask what Pic meant by the promise. He wasn't going to wait for her.Jamie held the rein firmly, determined to see how far Jin Yalie would ride before stopping to wait for her, but he and his mount literally disappeared from her sight like that, and he didn't even look back at her . go!girl.Piccolo said with a sigh. Jamie shook her head.No, there is no rush. You're killing time on purpose, aren't you?girl.You want to piss him off?Piccolo grinned.This will let him quickly see your true colors, so wouldn't the bunch of lies I told you be in vain? What lie? I told him you were a gentle, sweet girl? I was originally a gentle, sweet girl!Jamie defended herself not convinced. Piccolo snorted.When you lose your temper, you are as sweet as soap. What else did you say to him?Jamie asked suspiciously.You'd better tell me everything, so that I know what to do. I told him you were shy. you have not! I tell you you are effeminate and spend most of your time embroidering and going to church. Jamie started laughing.Why are you making up these lies, Peak? Because I'm going to give you a small advantage, Piccolo explained.If Kim Ah Yeol thinks you're vulnerable, he'll be more patient with you and busier trying to protect you.Without waiting for Jemi to refute, he continued talking.Take my word for it, Jamie, hide those skills of yours for a while before showing them.Also, I didn't let him know that you speak Gaelic. Jemi had no objection to his last sentence.I also don't want him to know that I know Gaelic. Piccolo nodded, then glanced worriedly in the direction of the drawbridge again.go!Jamie. No, Peake.I have been wanting to say something for a long time, and I have to finish it before I leave. girl, what are you going to say?Piccolo asked almost roaringly. I love you with all my heart.You've been a good father to me, Peake. Piccolo was startled, his eyes couldn't help getting wet.I love you too, Jamie.I have always treated you like my own daughter. Promise me you won't forget me. Piccolo squeezed the girl's hand.I will not. Jie Mi nodded, and said the last word to him with tears streaming down her face.If something happens at home, you must send someone to inform me, don't forget. After she finished speaking, she wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and pushed Wildfire on the road with her back straight. Piccolo stood where he was and watched his mistress leave.He prayed that she wouldn't look back, because he didn't want her to see him in a mess.God knows, he was crying like a man who just lost his only child.Because in his heart, he knows one fact: he will never see his baby again.
