The next day...

It's already five in the afternoon. The skies turn reddish-orange, an indication that the sun is going to rest for the day soon. And all day long, it's been a fair weather. It's almost as if the skies are rejoicing together with the cheerful people of the Air Kingdom on another day of celebration. Yes, these feathered creatures love celebration. In fact, they celebrate something almost every day! However, this event they are celebrating at the moment is different from any other usual parties they held in the past.

It's the wedding ceremony of her highness, Princess Morrigan, and her "destined husband", Prince Ling of the Earth Kingdom.

White flowers and white-colored silk dominated the entirety of the Air Kingdom. Whichever direction one looks, there is at least a bouquet or two. Even though they are far away from the land of life, the Eastern Regions, they're surprisingly able to provide fresh flowers this much. Aside from the fragrant flowers, t

  • Prince Charming is a Frog   Prologue

    In the realm where the shapeshifters dwell, their world is divided into four great kingdoms.The Fire Element Shapeshifters dominated the Northern region and established their own kingdom. Thus, calling themselves the citizens of the Fire Kingdom of the North.On the other hand, the Air Kingdom has been founded by the Feathered Creatures on the West. They aim to continue their lives in peace and happiness, thus, making a lively Kingdom for themselves.Meanwhile, in the Southern part of the region, the Water Kingdom was established by the shapeshifters of the waters to preserve their silence and detachment from the other elementals. It's been years since anyone last saw a water element shapeshifter. Some say, they probably got annihilated by an unknown enemy. Some say, their ruler doesn't want to interact with them. As to what really happened to them or whatever their reason is for isolating themselves deep in the bodies of water, no one is certain.And lastly, th

    Twenty Years Later, in the Earth Kingdom...Prince Ling, the crown prince of the Earth Kingdom, is concealing himself behind a huge trunk of an old oak tree. With a bow in his hand and an arrow about to release anytime soon, he closes his other eye and aims for a pheasant that's quietly pecking on its food.Woosh!The arrow became one with the wind, fast approaching the poor clueless pheasant."Got it!" The prince exclaimed in delight when he successfully hit the target. He carefreely comes closer to his prey with a grin on his lips but it didn't last long. He flinched when a voice of an old man echoed from a few meters."Stop hunting my pheasants! They are livestock! Not wild ones!" The old man exc

  • Prince Charming is a Frog   II. Prince Goes Out For A Bride Hunting

    "Are you sure there are beautiful ladies around here?" Ling asked his attendant Yang in a low voice, almost whispering. "Yes, your highness. Water element shapeshifters are said to be beautiful creatures. This river is already a part of the Water Kingdom so there must be some water elementals here." The attendant answered. "If they truly are, I'm sure their mortal form is alluring." "Hmm... I see. Okay, okay." The prince nods and looks satisfied. He's really into this plan they came up with. Apparently, the two are out again. Like the same old custom, the Prince drags his attendant along to go in hunting. This time, the crown prince is not after pheasants or any other wild animals. At this moment, his highness' goal is to hunt a possible bride for him to present on his incoming birthday. A few days after the incident they had involving Old Bao, Prince Ling pestered his poor attendant, Yang, to look for beautiful creatures that are fit to be the next q

  • Prince Charming is a Frog   III. Prince Went Too Far

    The warm light of the sun's rays caressed the face of the water nymph which helped her regain her consciousness. She slowly opens her eyes and finds herself in an unfamiliar place. Wooden floor, wooden walls beautified with flower paintings, and huge beams above. Sunshine enters the hall through the big circular windows. The last thing she remembers is that she is submerging herself in that lonely river alone at night. It's already daytime and it makes the nymph wonder, "How long was I asleep?" Judging from the light that the sun gives, it's probably already sunset. She tried harder to remember how exactly did she come here. That night, she wanted a time for herself to think about the things she has to deal with personally, and perhaps to take a little break from the pressure. The pressure that her own home gives to her. In her earliest memories, she's already carrying the burden of their entire clan. It's quite heavy for this young woman. Just as when she finally gi

  • Prince Charming is a Frog   IV. Prince Being Mocked

    The cold crimson red blood drips from the water nymph's hand. It's only just a couple of centimeters away from the chalice but she managed to gather her strength in time and was able to move her tied-up feet. She kicked the chalice, causing it to tumble down and the wine spills on the wooden floor. This disconnected some of the lines of the array on the floor that the prince drew himself using a mica. Then the drop of the nymph's blood fell on the floor as well, away from the spilled grape wine. A split-second delay would have sent them to be judged by the Reverend Master. "Oh no."By instinct, Yang hurried to the spilled wine to clean up the mess. Of course, that's his response for he's been serving the palace for more than ten years.Since the array that's been holding them back got interrupted, their elemental powers came back to them in an instant. The nymph took this chance and frees herself from the ropes that bind her. She was about to run away but the p

  • Prince Charming is a Frog   V. Prince Met A Potential Antagonist

    Pitter patter.The sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the entire corridor of the old castle underneath the deep waters. A woman wearing white robes seemed to be anxious as it shows on her face. Her long snow-white hair slightly flips with her every move. She finally arrived back home and got summoned to the king's hall. Her beautiful and pale narrow fingers tremble. Whether it's out of nervousness or she's just feeling cold, no one is certain.The place is quite dark. Her way is only illuminated by the warm flames of the torches in every meter. Regardless of whether it's nighttime or daytime, it's always been dark. This place is denied with sunshine.She stopped in front of a couple of huge doors at the end of the corridor. She took a deep breath and knocked on the wooden doors thrice."It's me, your majesty."Not too long after that, she heard a response from the inside, "Come in, I've been waiting for you."Only by then did she open one

  • Prince Charming is a Frog   VI. Prince Has A Rival

    "Does it have to come to this, my king?" The queen of the Earth Kingdom asked her husband that's sitting on his throne next to her. She did not bother to glance at the Earth Immortal and just stared at the nothingness. Her mind is occupied with worry, anxiousness, and extreme sadness. It looks like anytime, her tears would flow out of her eyes.The Earth Immortal didn't dare to glance in his wife's way. If he doesn't, it would only add up to his worries. As the ruler of the Eastern Lands, he needs to remain collected and rational. But these past few months, it's getting harder for him to contain these emotions.He lay his head low, deep breaths in, and slowly breathes out. "My queen, I understand how you feel. It hurts me as well. However, we cannot allow our grief to affect our people. This is our personal problem and it should not implicate the flow of other's life.""I know, I know." The queen lays her head on her palm and closed her eyes. "But my king, have

  • Prince Charming is a Frog   VII. Prince Shows Off His Potential Wife

    "Good day, your highness." A group of ladies greeted his highness the crown prince and even bowed before him to show their respect.Well, even if our mischievous prince is a little too troublemaker, he is still respected by his fellow countrymen because of his status in their kingdom. If Ling happens to be just an average citizen in the region, he'll most probably get sneered at. His reputation as a womanizer is well-spread so it's quite a foreshadowing.So, these ladies happened to stroll around the town square when they noticed the crown prince walking in the area as well. He is with his attendant, Yang, and a beauty who is still unknown to them. Seeing a new face, the ladies can't help but feel intrigued and a little overwhelmed.Well, it's understandable that they've gone somehow uneasy after seeing Ling with Aloisa. Why? Because almost all of them are Prince Ling's exes. Coincidence? Definitely not. It happens every day. Prince Ling meets at least a couple of h

    LVIX. Prince, Should You Give Up?

    "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,

    LVIII. Prince Meets Eva Again II

    "I heard they also eat meat despite being so-called "lovers of life itself". Said the voice coming from behind.Out of reflex, they all turn around to see a maiden with strong facial features. She's not ugly, more like a beauty with fierce vibes. The wide grin on her lips shows her pair of sharp canine teeth. For some reason, it looks cute on her.This woman is no other than the next high priestess of the Fire Kingdom, Eva."Ah, really? Thanks for the information." Morrigan gives her a sweet smile just like she always does. But this sweet smile of her gradually dissipates the longer she stares at the face of this woman. She's quite sure this is the first time she sees her around here. Still, her highness politely asks the stranger, "I find your face somewhat... unfamiliar. Do you live around here?""Nope." Eva didn't even try to hide it. Instead, she seems proud of her rac

    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

    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 each others. 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 very familiar to

    LIV. Prince, What Should Be Done?

    "Greetings your majesty." His highness, Prince Ling, politely greeted when they got to meet the king and queen of the Air Kingdom. So after Princess Morrigan's song number, they didn't waste any more of their time and headed towards the hall where the king and queen are. And as expected, they are very friendly creatures. Ling and the rest of the gang are welcomed warmly despite meeting them for the first time. They don't seem to be people that they should be warry of for they have no hint of sinister aura... unlike those of the fire shapeshifters. The queen, as always, wears a bright smile and gentle face, a typical motherly image. She looks so pleased the moment her eyes lay on Ling. "Oh my! Polite and very handsome. I approve. I am convinced that he really is the one you see in your visions, my dear child." Her majesty cheerfully said and even did an "ok" sign with her hand. Her daughter, Princess Morrigan, on the other hand, fakes a smile. She doesn't know wha

    "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

    "Phew! Finally, we're here!" Ling wipes his forehead that's drenched with his sweat.Just as they reached their current location, they felt tiredness and pain in different parts of their body. Their feet hurt for walking such a great distance. Their exposed skin feels like burning for staying under the sun for so long. Their backs are aching too since they are carrying their own baggage on their backs. Well, except for Aloisa. She didn't bring any bag with her because she has an enchanted storage. It's her wide sleeves. She can put anything that fits on the opening of her sleeves. The stuff she dumps there is temporarily stored in a different dimension - the Abyss."Are you sure they'll be welcoming towards us?" Aloisa asked while staring at the gates of the Eastern Borders of the Air Kingdom.Apparently, Prince Ling and the gang arrived at the boundaries of the foreign country in the West. The distance between their departure point and where they are currently isn'
