It's been half a month since my birthday.

And now I'm meeting up with my fiancé...

Sigh... I have a head ache.

This situation is wrong.

This is so so wrong.

Right now I'm sitting in front of my fiancé, let me repeat that once again, right now I'm sitting in front of my 8 year old fiancé.

Oh my goodness why does the heavens hate me.

His name was Bing Wen meaning master of the arts. Which suites his status quite well I suppose, since his grandfather is the general of our country and he himself is quite the prodigy or so I've heard. But who knows rumors are not always true and can be as fake as.... well honestly I don't know whats real or not I mean I've been reborn, reborn! Like if reincarnation is real then who knows what else could be real. Unless this is all fake and I'm dreaming in a coma or dead and my brain is making all this up. Which is highly plausible, since I've always wanted to sometimes escape from my old life and pretend..... Okay stop rambling, back to the situation here.

My mother and another woman named Mi Han presumably my fiancé's mother were also here, chatting harmoniously with each other. While me and the boy who was introduced as Bing Wen was sitting opposite with each other sharing a few words but mostly staying in silence, not knowing what to say to each other.

Sigh ...

≖-≖...I will not acknowledge this situation. Who had the idea of giving me a fiancé?!?! Come out now! Take responsibility for my current stomach ache and my future ones! Asdfadfsasss....argh! My stomach!!!! It hurts ;-; The stress of this situation is inwardly killing moi...

Oh...sigh I need a break more then ever.

All four of us were sitting around a round table as the servants either stood or sat behind us. There were many sweets on the table but I dared not to take more then a few pieces. Why? Because I ate over 20 pieces of cookies and cakes a while ago. Before the meeting mother stuffed me with food and sweets till I couldn't move. It seems she was prepared. Since the day I was reborn I made it my mission to eat as much as my stomach could handle. It's a known fact that children have better metabolism then adults, better use this chance while I can and worry about the out come later.

And anyways what can I say, the sweets were really, really good and I just couldn't help it. You can't blame me, I've been living a sad life of instant noodles almost everyday before.

The lady Mi Han of course was baffled (she would've probably have had a heart attack if she knew I had eaten much more before I came) but hid it well; she even said I looked cute and stuff, but I knew that was just a failed attempt of flattery and nonsense. After all I was wearing a veil the entire time, so she couldn't even see my face much less think I looked cute.

In the more southern west of the Minha continent the unmarried females of higher statuses were to wear veils in public or with anyone who weren't family members (female servants excluded).

Looking at the boy...he was cute (I swear I mean it in a innocent way), he had large dark light brown eyes with black hair. He was staring intently at me possibly thinking about something. Looking at him and me his mother had an all knowing look as a light flashed in her eyes (the light was probably the reflection of the sun or something, since of course normal eyes can't flash if it does then you'd probably need to go to the doctors.)  She started to asked him how his sparring practice going with his grandfather.

And that was his queue.

"It's going well, I've almost reached mortal hierarchy 5. Grandfather taught me the Fire Fist technique since I've returned from the sect. Although it was a little hard grandfather told me I'm advancing at a greater heights then most of my peers."

Ah....that's great good for you.

"Father has also been helping out on perfecting my cultivation he's been teaching me more advanced styles of cultivation and we've started using the potion method since my body has adapted to the main element that resides in my soul and is capable of receiving mixed element potions that can help speed up my cultivation.

Okay...Kind of confusing, but I think I understand?

"......Although my mind is of not ready for taking in the energy from..blah blah blah...The Fire dragon sword technique that my Shifu taught me...blah blah blah.... Blah blah blah....The legendary swordsman that was caught in the ice typhoon......blah blah blah....blah........blah......A child who will be birthed from the moon in 2 months time....blah blah blah... I will be in the millionth mountain of immortal...... "

Okay I officially can't follow what your talking about anymore.

"Princess Daquan Fa I'll protect you!" He smiled brightly.

Where the heck did that even come up!?

As I was surprised and momentarily confused, 3 faces looked at me closely along with all the servants in the room stressing me out further. The room was silent as every ones eyes bore into mine, there gazes were ripping me to shreds and the silence was making it difficult to breath.  So in the heat of the moment and the pressure growing even stronger by the minute....

"R-reawy? Thawque!" I said irrationally as my brain was still in turmoil of what just happened.

With that everyone seemed satisfied and went on to their business. At my expenses of course.

Oh my cows....aaaaaaaahhhhhh

I. Want. To. Bang. My. Head. Against. The. Wall.

No matter, what even if he gets older it does not change the fact that I will always be twenty something years older then him. Don't get me wrong I mean I'm okay with age gap as long as the people in the relationship love each other but.... I just don't feel comfortable being in this situation of the relationship.

He looks like a child, he is a child, and my fiancé. Making everything all the more wrong.

Ma life ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) Why????
