*Plop plop plop*
It was a very tiresome day yesterday, and I have persuaded the general to forget everything that happened because it will only bring a burden to our minds. I'm sure that if Zi Yan is here, she will also say it. I will be forever grateful to her. The place where she was buried is a quiet, beautiful, and peaceful land full of flowers. I know she is very happy…
I didn't have the courage to continue my train of thought because of the water droplets that were flowing from my eyes. Yes, I still can't take the pain of her death. There's nothing I can do about it. I have been living with her even before my innocence left me.
She had explained to me anything that I wanted to know in this cruel world. I have been living for her sake, but now, I must find the reason I live in this world. I'll make my own reason to live.
"Your highness, are you feeling alright?" The general asked me with his worried eyes.
I have been riding a horse with the royal guards on the side, and only with the use of a cloak to hide me from the scorching sun. We cannot help it. The carriage was brought to the mystical forest, where only people with spiritual cultivation can enter.
It's been hours since our last stop, and I already feel the burning heat.
"Your highness, we're almost near the border of our kingdom. I'll send Honghui to the border while we wait for the carriage." I just nod at him, and then he talks with a royal guard, whom I think is Honghui, and when they are finished talking, Honghui immediately leaves with a letter in his hand.
We just stayed there for minutes. The general lead me to a shade under the tree, and he just gave me water for dehydration.
Another minute later, Honghui came back with a carriage behind him.
When they stopped in front of us, the one who drove the carriage got down and bowed immediately.
"General, I am eunuch Wei, who was sent by his majesty to the border for our Lady Consort." The general just gave a small nod, and the old man immediately turned to me and then bowed again. I didn't really like what he was doing, but before I could make him stand straight, the general immediately spoke.
"Your highness, let's go to the border immediately. This place is still near the Su empire; we must hurry and arrive at the border of the Lou kingdom.
Did he know what I'm going to do? That's why he interfered.
"I think you're right, let us leave," I just said and entered the carriage. When I entered the carriage, I was shocked at how spacious and luxurious it was. It's much larger than the carriage that we lost in the mystical forest.
When they think that I'm already safe and stable inside the carriage, it immediately moves and turns to its destination.
A Suivre…
