Princess Chu Hua found herself standing in the thick, dark forest. She was scared that she could be attacked by a wild animal, but she had no choice but to stay there.Prince Junfeng wanted not to leave without taking the princess along. So, he entered the forest too, leaving his horse by the roadside. He took out his sword and held it in his hand, ready to fight anything that came up against him. Prince Junfeng knew the dangers of walking through a forest, and worst at night. One won't know what is sighting you from afar or near. Moreover, some wild animals see better in the nighttime rather than daytime.The moon was fully shining now, and its lights helped commander Lucifer to look around carefully. Before commander Lucifer could get to where the two horses were standing, the horses have left, taking a different direction than the road that leads to the kingdom princess Chu Hua was heading to. Commander Lucifer didn't see the horse or anyone on the roadside. He decided to go and ch
Princess Chu Hua jumped up from her dream with fear.“It's a dream.” Princess Chu Hua mumbled as her heart pounded in her chest. She held the haft of her sword so tight out of fear. She tried to sit properly as she lay on the tree trunk. Footsteps were approaching her from an unknown side. Princess Chu Hua could hear the footsteps, but she didn't understand which side the footsteps were coming from. They were neither coming from behind, by the side, nor opposite her. The forest was dark because the sky was pregnant, which couldn't allow the moon to shine brightly on the land. The tall trees were also contributing to making the place darker. It occurred to her mind that the dream she just had was about to happen. She gently turned around to check if she could see clearly what was approaching. She scans around the bush with her eyes like a lioness who is waiting for prey. The footsteps finally stopped. Princess Chu Hua was breathing heavily, and her mind wasn't at rest. Her thought was
The long-awaited morning has finally arrived. Leaving the earth looking so bright and beautiful. Princess Chu Hua managed to squeeze herself and sleep as she laid her back on a tree. That was stressful, by the way, but she had no option but to give in to the condition she found herself in.Her main problem now was hunger. She has been hungry since the previous day. She needed to find something and eat so that she wouldn't shamelessly die in the forest. Princess Chu Hua either hunts or the wild animals will hunt her. She woke up, and her body was in pain. Princess Chu Hua wasn't only facing one difficulty at a time. She was surrounded by difficulties like she was in the middle of an ocean. She was hungry, thirsty, and tired. The sounds of running water caught her attention. Of course, it's a forest that consists of a variety of living and nonliving things. Princess Chu Hua gestured towards where the sound was coming from. She drags her feet on t
Princess Chu Hua woke up from her slumber, she blinked her eyes and then rolled her eyeball. She was shocked to see what was surrounding her. She was caged in a cell. “Wasn't she supposed to find herself struggling with the water? How did she get in here?” Princess Chu Hua wondered. She was caged in her fear and anxiety.“Where on earth am I? This place doesn't seem like where a mortal man can live.”Princess Chu Hua was unstable as she paced up and down in the cell. The place was too quiet. The only sound she could hear was her heartbeat. Her heart was beating so fast in her chest. She located a corner in the cell and placed her buttocks. A sense of reasoning hit her mind.“Where's my sword and helmet?” She got more confused. Could it be that she has been captured by the Gapsin men?But that can't be possible because if she isn't mistaken, she remembers when she fell into the ocean. There was no ship or anything in the ocean when s
The clinging of the door's rusty chains woke princess Chu Hua. She quickly opened her eyes and stood up in fear.Her eyes widened as she stared at the person unlocking the door.It was the same guard that came earlier.The iron finally fell to the ground as the guard opened the door for her. She was scared to step out. The guard glared at her that princess Chu Hua's soul left her body. When the guard knew that she was afraid to step out, she signaled princess Chu Hua to come out. She made a way for her to come out.Each step she took was out of fear. She could feel her heart pounding inside. It wasn't a hidden secret that her body was shivering. Every part of her body was unstable. Princess Chu Hua was staring at the guard at first, but when she got closer to the door, she lowered her gaze to the ground.On reaching the door, the guard grabbed her hand and forcefully pulled her out. The guard gripped her wrist as she took
It has been four days since commander Lucifer has been walking around the forest without food. His only food was the scarce fruits he saw around. And then the water he has taken in a stream. He was exhausted. This seems like a journey to an unknown land. Commander Lucifer was dragging his feet on the ground as he walked around the forest.“This wasn't his plan for the princess.” He finally leaned his back on a tree as his face was clouded with anger and regret. The image of Princess Chu Hua has been playing with his imagination. Commander Lucifer tried hard not to let any tears, but he found himself sobbing.“I'm sorry that I never kept to my words. All my promises have gone in vain. I hope you will forgive wherever you are. I… I never planned it this way.” Commander Lucifer murmured and cried out loud. Nothing could scare him in the forest. One can even say, he was neither a ghost nor a monster. No man will dare stand against him after see
Commander Lucifer was standing from afar as he sighted his kingdom. Smoke was neither coming out from the kingdom, nor something else. He was exhausted that he was seeing the kingdom moving backward as he approached it. It was midday. It wasn't easy for him, trekking from the deep forest to home. The journey was full of challenges and endurance.There was no horse to take him home. The only horse he got was his feet.“Huh Huh!” Commander Lucifer coughed heavily as he was starved with water. He dragged his feet to the kingdom gate. What he saw struck his heart like a rumble of thunder. The whole of Cyprus kingdom has been taken down to ashes. It was in a fury of fire. He couldn't identify if the kingdom once had a building or not. Dead bodies of both his men and their enemies were laying on the ground. Blood was flowing like water. There was no doubt that the attack happened recently.Commander Lucifer's face was looking pale. Anger could be
The vestige of the sun was setting out. Commander Lucifer successfully reached Azanda's kingdom on his horse.He was welcomed by commander Yufei and several others as he got into the kingdom. Immediately they saw commander Lucifer coming back without princess Chu Hua, everyone lost hope. “She was nowhere to be found.”Commander Lucifer was looking in outrage and fury. Commander Yufei already knew what made him look that way. “The destruction of the Gapsin kingdom.”Without wasting time, commander Yufei was eager to take commander Lucifer out of his anger as he updated him about king Cheng.“You don't have to worry yourself, His Royal Majesty, King Cheng is safe.” Commander Yufei said with a calm voice. Commander Lucifer's reaction could scare someone away. He turned around and faced commander Yufei and stared him in the eyes.“ Where is he?” Commander Lucifer asked.“ In a safe room with Chao, your sword-bearer.” <
