Chapter 03

While the baby's mother continued to run to the edge of the cliff, she saw death at the edge of her eyes. For a moment he closed his eyes and pondered. "King Chu, I hope you can recognize your descendants in the future." Concubine Ling Hua whispered, looking at her full of hatred with the fire of anger in her chest rumbling like waves about to hit the rocks.

"You are indeed a barbarian Chu Lei. You framed me by taking advantage of servants on the grounds that my father was sick. You are so cruel! One day you will die miserably!"

"Hahaha. I'm fed up with the leadership of King Chu Yuan who never wants to go to war with other kingdoms to expand territory and increase the prosperity of the Kingdom. One more thing you should know, me and my lover Queen Bai An have planned it carefully and now is the time to kill you!"

The Chu royal general ordered the troops he brought to arrest the concubine named Ling Hua.

Ling Hua continued to back away until his heels no longer touched the ground. she looked down and found a head-sized rock that had fallen, shattered by the impact of a large rock. The ravine was so pitch black it seemed like there was no life down there.

"Jump if you want to die immediately, Concubine Ling!" General Chu Lei said again with a big laugh. Then, the general looked at Ling Hua's deflated stomach, a frown appeared on his forehead, "Have you given birth?" he shouted in question

"Hahaha. Yes! You are right. and my son will be a disaster for you and the entire treacherous royal family, I swear in the name of Heaven! Heaven hear my oath!" sHe shouted, looking up at the sky.

Jedar!! Lightning struck with lightning as if blessing the oath.

"I don't want to die in your hands," she said. Ling Hua jumped with a smile into the abyss.

"Damn! Quickly look for the baby. Deploy all troops to look for the baby, I will bring the body as a reward." General Chu Lei said

A search was immediately carried out until late afternoon, but could not find the baby. until it got dark.

Someone dared to speak up, "General, if we keep looking, how long will it take? Don't the General know? This forest is haunted at night. There are many people who are lost and can't go home." he tried to scare General Chu Lei by making a scared face. "How about we look for a newborn baby in a residential area? We kidnap it, then we kill it and take it to Queen Bai An! Then, tell her that the baby is Concubine Ling's child, and Concubine Ling jumps into the ravine." said the person again giving an idea.

"Your idea is quite brilliant, you will be promoted to commander later." General Chu Lei promised. He patted the soldier's shoulder and said again, "I will definitely tell that to Queen Bai An. Let's get out of this forest quickly!" the order. Then they moved by making two lines.

General Chu Lei was in the middle of the journey, smiling faintly and happily, "Another of King Chu Yuan's confidants, dead!" no one would know about his closeness to queen Bai An. apart from the soldiers who came with him. But he could still manage because all those people were tied to him, with poison lodged in his body and only he had the antidote.

they stopped in one of the villages and forcibly took the baby from the mother's hands, "Don't take our child General! Sob Sob..." The cry of a woman who grabbed General Chu Lei's leg.

However, the arrogant general kicked the woman who continued to whine at her feet, causing her body to float several feet off the ground. Then, he stepped on the woman's back again until a crack was heard on her back.

"How cruel," Several neighbors who saw the incident could only say that in their hearts. But his mouth was closed, unable to decipher the words, he fell silent with tears in his eyes.

Argh!! The woman's scream ended her life, a sword thrust through her neck.

"If you didn't irritate me with your crying, maybe you would still be alive and could have had another child with your husband. I only ask for one, nothing more!" He said without feeling. Maybe his heart is dead or has been replaced with stone.

Then he swept his gaze towards the residents' houses which only had a few pieces, "I know you saw it, but if this news spreads! I guarantee there will be no more life tomorrow for you!" After he finished speaking, he jumped onto a horse that was being led by a soldier. "Let us go home!" He shouted to the soldiers who also immediately got on their horses.

Hap Hap Hap!

After they died, two people came out of the house and came to the dead woman and carried her body into the house while waiting for her husband to come home from hunting.

..

The royal capital looks very majestic with two pillars standing firmly at the gate, with neatly arranged granite stones showing prosperity by highlighting the walls.

General Chu Lei brought a package containing the corpse of a girl, he put it around the horse's neck with a fairly strong rope. "Open the gate!" Shouted the soldiers guarding him when they arrived at the gates of the capital.

The guard immediately opened the door slowly. After it was wide enough open, they patted the horse's rump and the horse walked slowly through the streets of the royal city until they reached the gate of the King's residence.

Chu Lei got off the horse with a light jump and then handed the horse to the guard to take him to the stable.

He himself went straight to Queen Bai An's residence, but there were many people there, so he thought better of it and turned to go to his own residence. "Will my child be born?" he muttered happily.

He and Queen Bai An were two lovebirds who loved each other.However, they were separated by fate and he wanted to change his destiny by becoming a royal general and raising the child conceived by Queen Bai An without the knowledge of the King himself, then killing King Chu Yuan and occupying the throne. That was the plan he had made all along. by one by one killing the people closest to the King and any loyal servants who sided with the king.

In fact, General Chu Lei was Chu Yuan's younger brother, but not by blood. He was only a younger half-brother, so did not carry on the blood line, but still took the Chu surname.

A baby's cry could be heard echoing in Queen Bai An's room, the sign of birth had come and it was greeted with a warm smile, "He is a prince!" Exclaimed the person who helped with the birth.

"What a handsome prince!" Said another. Then one of them handed it over to the King to be cradled…..
