Zuiying flung his head back and took a big gulp. “Your Majesty, I trust that you can protect Her Majesty, no matter where she is. Right now, you just momentarily can’t accept the fact that you failed and you feel like you’re unworthy of being by her side. However, I think that to be able to find someone who’s worth protecting is a truly difficult feat. Your Majesty, you mustn’t give up too easily,” he said.

Han Moze’s vision blurred from the alcohol, as he slipped into the events of the past. “Although I’m naturally gifted and I’ve never had an enemy, I know nothing about love. It wasn’t till I met Her Majesty in Nanli did I find out that such a beautiful woman existed in the world. My perfect self was unable to pick out a single flaw, so from there on out, I put in a lot of effort into marrying Her Majesty. However, she would always argue with me because I didn’t know how to cheer women up. I mean, I really didn’t know. Her Majesty wanted to run away from me several times but I always pretended to be sick and drugged her. In turn, she despised me even more. One day, Her Majesty suddenly remembered the past and finally accepted me. Now that I think about it, it was pretty funny. To my surprise, there’s actually a woman who I can’t get. I can conquer armies of thousands, and yet I can’t handle a single woman. If she hadn’t suddenly regained memories of the past, I’m afraid I most probably wouldn’t have her heart right now! I’m such a failure!”

Under the influence of alcohol, Han Moze spilled the truth. Then he threw his head back, downed a bottle of wine and slammed it to the ground.

Zuiying glanced at the broken bottle and flatly said, “Your Majesty, are you mad at yourself?”

“Yes, I am mad at myself for not being able to even protect a woman.” Han Moze glumly opened another bottle of wine, threw his head back and took big gulps. He drank like the wine could ease his suffering, but actually he felt even more hurt.

Zuiying watched Han Moze take big gulps of wine and sincerely said, “Your Majesty, from what I see, you’re not a failure in the slightest. You lack courage. Actually, I look down on you a little because no matter how helpless I feel, I would never give up on myself like you.”

Han Moze scowled at Zuiying. “You dare look down on me? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you?”

Zuiying grinned fearlessly. “Your Majesty, you may be cold and merciless, but you don’t kill innocent people. I only just stated the truth. Deep downside, Your Majesty wouldn’t kill me over such a small thing.”

Han Moze grinned. “You’re a courageous and insightful person. As I expected, I was right about you.”

With a faint smile, Zuiying continued by saying, “From how I see it, Your Majesty simply has no courage to face that blonde man whatsoever. If you did, you wouldn’t be degrading yourself like this, but you’d go looking for that blonde man.”

Han Moze smiled bitterly. “Zuiying, you’re right. I really don’t have the courage to face that person. Not even a little…”

Zuiying threw his head back and took a big gulp of wine. “What is love? Why, it is but life and death! I may have never fallen in love with any woman, if I know that love is precious. In fact, it is more important than one’s life. If this is all Your Majesty can do for Her Majesty, then I reckon that what you have doesn’t count as true love.”

Han Moze was left stunned but then, a smile suddenly appeared in the corner of his mouth. “Zuiying, you’re right. For the past few days, I’ve thought things through. We will live in poorness and in wealth, in both life and death. I will find Her Majesty, then I will have to protect her with my life.”

Zuiying smiled faintly. “I was just saying what was on my mind, that’s all. It’s great that Your Majesty has come to a realization.”

Han Moze drink some wine and felt a whole lot better. “Zuiying, I hear that you have a severely ill older brother in the family. Did he teach you these principles?” He asked.
