Tap tap tapThe hurried footsteps of the destined high priestess seem to be so loud in the mids of the lonely hall. She wears a serious expression on her face which is very unusual for she is always seen as a cheerful lady. She didn't wake up on the wrong side of the bed nor initially have a bad morning. In fact, she was in a pretty good mood until she learned something."Your majesty." She called out to the Fire Immortal.His majesty is sitting on his throne with a small tea table in front of him. His left arm supports his head that's bearing a solemn expression on his well-chiseled face. On the top of the table rests a chessboard with its pieces already did several moves. This warlord rarely takes out this board game for this is a present from an old friend whom he values. He only plays it alone in times when the kingdom is against a formidable opponent.For a moment, Eva wondered, why is he bringing it out? Their opponent is just the Earth Kingdom which is q

"Congratulations, your highness!""Waaah, her highness is so lucky! I wish I'll find my other half soon too.""Her soon-to-be husband is quite good-looking. They are a good match!"The words of praises from the crowd could hardly be recognized. They all speak at the same time and with loud voices too. It's not surprising for their princess not to understand them. Even so, she still acts professionally. She still smiles at them and even waves her hand at times.Without them noticing, his highness Prince Ling, Yang, Master Lian, and Aloisa got swept off their feet. And before they realize it, they are pushed by the flow of the crowd in the main entrance of a huge castle.It must be the royal palace of this kingdom.Just like the Northern Lands, the Air Kingdom has some greeneries too. They even have trees and little parks in their public areas. It's not as green as the Earth Kingdom though. The Earth Kingdom looks like a huge garden while this kingdom looks very civi

  While on their way to the guest quarters, Aloisa noticed something strange. She wants to disregard it but how can she ignore her goosebumps?They were currently taking a long corridor. Except for a series of huge windows on their left and doors on the right, the third princess of the Water Kingdom observed something in a series. A series of statues of a beautiful woman in every five meters. They are life-size sculptures with realistic features. Each one of these statues is very identical to the other. These sculptures have exquisite details. From her seemingly fluttering robes, the hair that looks like gently blown by a pleasant breeze, the realistic bird-like pair of beautiful wings.Sure, there's nothing wrong with the statues if one looks at it thoroughly... except if that one lives in the Water Kingdom's Palace. For twenty long years, Aloisa has been walking in and out of their palace. And so, she can't help but be bothered. These statues are ver

The gang will be divided into two rooms. Yang and Ling will be together in one room while Aloisa and Lian will be staying together in the room next door.The skies are dark, the owls start to hoot, and the cicadas start releasing a ringing sound. In other words, the night is getting deeper. They should be sleeping now since they're tired from their travel but here they are, still wide awake. The four guests, together with their host, Princess Morrigan are gathered in one room. Their agenda: What should be done tomorrow? And; How exactly Morrigan should confess to her people? "Okay, so during breakfast, I am going to tell my parents first. And then if they love me enough, they'll help me tell the other air shapeshifters. Is that it?" Morrigan asks as she counts the things that should be done first thing in the morning using her fingers. Just thinking about it makes her want to be swallowed by the ground alive, never to appear on the surface again. She burst into frustratio

"Your highness..." Ling calls Morrigan in a low and serious tone. "Yes, your highness?" The cheerful princess replies, waiting for what has Ling to say. And without any further ado, Ling attempts to open up the thing he has in mind, "Can I ask you something?" Princess Morrigan puffs a laugh, "You are already asking." Technically speaking, yes, Ling is already asking her when he asked if he could ask something. But from a more sensible point of view, it's just her highness, Princess Morrigan, messing up with this prince. But since Ling is the one who needs an answer from her, he played along. "Well... can I ask you for another?" And then the princess laughs again. This time, less restrained. Ling played along but he didn't play well. Morrigan said as she still suppresses her laughter, "You just asked your second question!" "You look so stupid right now," Aloisa commented before she took a bite of her food. Ling,
