Chapter 354 Envying Me, Are You Entitled To?

Princess Nami smiled happily. “Your Majesty, how are you doing? This is a gift I bought for you.”

Xiao Bing handed the scroll over, and the man behind the Emperor stepped forward and took it, then he unfolded it carefully. The Emperor looked at it, rubbing his hands and sighed, “Good, very good. Keep it. We’ll hang it in my study later.”

Then he looked at Princess Nami and smiled, “Nami, you haven’t been here for half a month, but you seem more sensible than you used to.”

Princess Nami hummed, “You make it sound like I was an insensible person before.”

The Emperor laughed out loud, “No, you are the most sensible girl. I heard that you hired two personal warriors publicly some time ago, and there was a contest. Are these the two masters you recruited?”

Princess Nami laughed. “Yes, they are both amazing, especially this one. His name is Aoki Ichiro. He is very powerful. I was also thinking of getting my grandpa to teach him a few skills.”

Fukuda Ogawa lowered his head, revealing some jealousy in his eyes. They were both her personal warriors who were elected in the cruel competitions. However, Princess Nami’s attitude toward Xiao Bing was very different. If she was overbearing to both of them, he wouldn’t feel anything, but Princess Nami only treated Xiao Bing differently. It put him off balance and he could not help feeling jealous.

The Emperor glanced at Xiao Bing and Fukuda Ogawa and grinned. His eyes seemed to contain vicissitudes and at the same time there was wisdom and understanding in them. He was in such a high position. Even though he lost political power, he was still smarter than ordinary people especially for this kind of intrigue. He would know that better than anyone else.

Xiao Bing had a mask on his face, and his eyes appropriately looked worshipful and respectful. This was how a normal person in Country R should behave when he facing the supreme emperor. Xiao Bing had always been great at acting.

The Emperor smiled and said, “Yes, both are very outstanding. You two should take good care of my granddaughter.”

“Yes!” Fukuda Ogawa immediately bowed and said, “I am willing to work for Her Royal Highness.”

Xiao Bing also bowed. “I am willing to serve the royal family.”

The Emperor nodded with a smile and said, “Nami, let’s go inside and talk and the two gentlemen can go to the meeting room for tea first. Attendants, lead these two gentlemen to the meeting room.”

A maid next to him bowed respectfully to Xiao Bing and led them away. The master who protected the Emperor also followed Princess Nami toward the inner room. He didn’t notice Xiao Bing at all.

Xiao Bing and Fukuda Ogawa followed the maid into the parlor. The maid poured hot tea for them and Fukuda Ogawa said, “Well, you can go now. We will call you if we need you.”

“Very well. I’ll take my leave. Please enjoy your tea.”

Xiao Bing looked at Fukuda Ogawa and after the maid went out, he laughed and said, “Mr. Fukuda, do you have something to say to me?”

Fukuda Ogawa stood up, looking at Xiao Bing with a serious expression, and said, “Aoki Ichiro, I challenge you.”

“Challenge me?” Xiao Bing raised his eyebrows and asked, “Why do you want to challenge me?”

“In the last competition, I was selected by Her Royal Highness before the match was over. I didn’t finish it. It is a pity that I didn’t fight against Mr. Aoki, so I want to compete with Mr. Aoki to see who is better. Let’s see who would’ve persisted to the end had I continued with the competition.”

Xiao Bing didn’t take it seriously. “Does it make sense? The comparison has already been done and we have won this opportunity. Since we have had the opportunity and the results have been clear, why do you care about the process?”

“It is important for me!” Fukuda Ogawa looked at Xiao Bing earnestly, “It is important for a samurai!”

“Okay, I understand.” Xiao Bing groaned, and then looked at Fukuda Ogawa with a weird smile. He asked, “Are you jealous of me?”

Fukuda Ogawa didn’t expect Xiao Bing to read his mind so well. His face turned red immediately. He said angrily, “What do you mean? Why should I be jealous of you?”

“Isn’t it clear? I am more handsome than you!” Xiao Bing laughed. “Well, I’m kidding. Although I do look more handsome than you, we don’t rely on our faces to live. Well, what you are really jealous of is that although we are both her warriors, Princess Nami only treats me differently, so you find it hard to accept. Am I right?”

Fukuda Ogawa didn’t deny it and said, “Yes.”

Xiao Bing lamented, “The jealousy of man is frightening. I understand it now, but what can you do if you beat me? Do you think Princess Nami treats me differently just because of my strength? Princess Nami is a petite and willful girl. She is not an ambitious person who only wants to make friends with valuable people. Princess Nami is not like that.”

Fukuda Ogawa frowned, and asked in confusion, “Then why?”

“This is very simple. Because I have offended Princess Nami and refused her. Do you think a woman would like to make friends with obedient puppets? Or will she regard a person who can give her suggestions as a friend?”

Fukuda Ogawa looked at Xiao Bing incredulously, and asked in disbelief, “She treats you as a friend? She is a princess and the first beauty!”

Xiao Bing smiled disdainfully. “Is a princess not a human being? Or is a beauty not a human being? People need to eat whether they are pretty or not. No matter who you are, if you can’t pee, you will die.”

It was a bit vulgar, but hearing this, Fukuda Ogawa didn’t know what to say.

Xiao Bing continued, “Because you all treat her like a princess, and she has a very high position in your heart, you are too humble in front of her. So you don’t even dare to give her some correct advice. Even if she is wrong, you don’t dare to come forward and refute her.”

Suddenly Xiao Bing stood up. He stared at Fukuda Ogawa with a sharp glint in his eyes. He said in a cold voice, “What did you do when Princess Nami treated the prisoners as monsters? Ah? What did you do when Princess Nami whipped the people like horses? Have you ever said anything? Don’t tell me you thought she was right to do that. You didn’t refute her because in your heart, Princess Nami is set up on high. Even if you thought there was something wrong, you dared not stop her. She is a royal princess, and you are just one of her samurai.”

Fukuda Ogawa looked a little flustered, “So… then what?”

Xiao Bing sneered and said sternly, “Since you have placed yourself so low and the princess so high up, why be jealous? You are just a subordinate, a pariah, and a slave. She is a noble princess. Why does she have to smile at you every day?”

“You!” Fukuda Ogawa was a little irritated, but when he took a step forward, he suddenly felt strong air rushing toward him. Xiao Bing grabbed his collar and threw him against the wall. Fukuda Ogawa sweated because he didn’t expect Xiao Bing to be so much stronger than him!

Xiao Bing’s eyes scared him. It looked as if he had killed many people. At the moment, he finally realized that Xiao Bing was more terrible than Nakamura Jiro!

Xiao Bing stared at him and said coldly, “She is nicer to me than to you and this is reasonable because you are not worthy of it! You are only a subordinate, a warrior, and you have never earned her respect! You are a pug who is begging for mercy. You can do nothing but flatter and fawn in front of her! In this case, why should she care how you feel every day?”

“Yes, she is a royal princess, but you have forgotten the dignity of a good samurai. You, like me, are selected as her guards, but as long as we can protect her, we are doing our duties. It doesn’t mean we have to be doormats! If she has done something wrong, we can tell her. Only a decent man can earn her respect. But did you do it?”

“So, you can’t blame the princess, and you shouldn’t blame me. Her Royal Highness doesn’t like you because you don’t respect yourself!”

Fukuda Ogawa’s eyes became bright as if he was inspired. “Then what should I do?”

Xiao Bing loosened his collar, turned and walked back to his seat. He sat down and said, “It’s very simple. You just do your job and are never jealous of me if you just want to be an obedient slave. If you want to win her respect, you should express your opinion when she does something wrong. Only a person who can give good advice can earn her respect, not a puppet. Okay, I’ve finished talking. As for you, it’s up to you whether you will listen or not.”

Xiao Bing stood up again and cursed, “Stupid, you have wasted a lot of my time, and I have to pee. I am going to go look for a toilet.”

Saying that, he walked out. Although it was daylight, he went out and made several turns in case someone would discover him. Xiao Bing talked to Fukuda Ogawa because he knew that Fukuda Ogawa would not find out his true strength. Moreover, he would leave sooner or later, but Princess Nami was so capricious, and the chief executive was old. If he retired, no one could restrain her. No one knows if she would become unbridled and do bad things again.

Although Fukuda Ogawa could not restrain Princess Nami, as long as he could put forward some different opinions, it would be okay. He was afraid that there was no one who dared to raise different opinions to her. It would be terrible when she didn’t know that she had done bad things.

Outside the small living room, Xiao Bing surmised that Princess Nami would stay with the Emperor for a long time if nothing happened since they just met. So he pretended to wander in the yard casually. The people here knew that Xiao Bing was with Princess Nami and he should be on their side since he could enter the palace, so few people would stop Xiao Bing. Occasionally when someone wanted to check Xiao Bing’s identity, Xiao Bing would show them his waistband, and they immediately went away.

Xiao Bing casually walked to the door of one of the palaces and then stopped. He turned around and looked at the palace gate above the steps because if he wanted to finish his task, he had to beat up the man inside.

The man was Iza Kawatani, the best samurai, who was called the God of Budo.
