Can Your Majesty Look Into My Direction

CHAPTER 13 Intruders

A clear night with stars flashing beautifully accompanies the moon hanging over the sky.

Rin had been staring out the window for a long time, he just kept silent with a slight smile on his lips. The beauty above the sky could only comfort her eyes and not her heart.

The palace began to feel quiet because some of the residents had rested and fell asleep. But the drowsiness seemed to have not attacked his eyes or he was deliberately ignoring it.

His mind always remembered the incident where Riu Lao blatantly told Alin Qian that he had indeed tasked Rin with many books and all the royal documents to keep her away. Plus the incident was during the day when the food he made with great difficulty was not glimpsed at all.

Not feeling both eyes began to heat up and make it glassy. He immediately wiped away the few tears that dripped on his cheeks and intended to lay his body on the bed.

Moments after his eyes closed, the noise outside the room interrupted his rest. Rin was forced to step out of the room to see what was happening.

There were about five royal bodyguards standing in front of his room carrying complete weapons. Some others ran around like they were chasing something.

Rin looked in astonishment then asked one of the guards who was guarding there “What is this?”

One of the guards noticed his presence and immediately saluted and replied “There was an intruder who entered the palace. We are asked to stand guard here for fear of the safety of dewi”

Intruders?

“Then, have you been caught?”

“We do not know the goddess, but the first prince was chasing the intruder for injuring his advisor”

“Injury to advisor? Alin Qian?”

The palace guard replied with a nod of his head.

Rin starts to worry about something then asks again “Then what about prince Riu Lao?”

“The second prince may be in his room”

Unconcerned to the concerns of the palace guards, Rin immediately rushed towards Riu Lao's room. He was very worried about what happened to his Highness.

Rin did not need to walk far because Riu Lao's room was next to his. There were several palace guards standing at the door that were saluting him.

Without asking for permission, Rin steps into Riu Lao's room to confirm his condition.

There was no sign of a fight there. The condition in the room is fine, even all the goods are still neatly arranged.

Rin stroked his chest, feeling relieved it turned out to be meaningless worry. At a glance the corner of his eyes looked towards Riu Lao's bed, where someone was lying with a hint of bloodstain on his clothes.

Rin ran a little towards the side of the bed and asked worriedly “What happened His Majesty?”

Riu Lao was standing by the bed with a real anxiety on her face. Both of his hands clenched and his jaw began to harden, but he did not answer what.

Alin Qian's condition was quite alarming. There was a sword incision in her left hand that had been treated, and her beautiful face looked very pale.

“What will the prince do?” Rin saw Riu Lao as if he was going to harm himself.

“...” Riu Lao remained unanswered and concentrated on concentrating his spiritual energy in both hands.

A blue light like a pearl grain began to revolve around his right hand.

At such a time, Rin knew what His Majesty would do “Yang Mulia” he spoke softly.

“There is no other way, this time he has really hurt” Riu Lao finally replied.

“Yang Mulia-” “DIAM” Riu Lao yells in annoyance, she doesn't want to hear what from her advisor's mouth. What he was thinking now, how to make the person he loved safe and immediately realized.

Rin had almost shed tears seeing what Riu Lao was going to do. He was not saddened that Riu Lao was snapping at him, but worried about the result of his noble Yang carelessness.

Riu Lao herself did not care about the gaze to the worry of the person beside her - she immediately did what she wanted to do.

The swirling blue light in his hand increasingly formed like something sharp. With a slight swing in his left hand he could already create an incision in his right hand.

He really did slash the veins that were directly connected to the heart to be united with his spiritual energy then channeled into Alin Qian's body.

Blood coming directly from the heart could not necessarily heal a severe wound despite being fused with the full power of a person. But without thinking twice, Riu Lao was really willing to sacrifice himself for Alin Qian.

Rin could only stand watching the events in front of him. Both of his eyes were wide open now. Riu Lao, the prince of both the southern sky kingdom as well as the Great One really really loves the daughter of the descendant of the flower goddess.

“Uhuk” Riu Lao spat out a mouthful of blood and immediately sat on the floor.

“Yang Mulia.” Rin immediately approached Riu Lao whose face had started to pale.

Rin was still holding onto Riu Lao's shoulder so as not to fall to the floor, after spitting out a lot of blood she was unconscious.

At that time Riu San came in haste gesa“How is Alin Qian doing?” tanyakanya.

“Itu..”

“Why with brother Lao?”

Rin did not reply, but his gestures pointed at the cut on Riu Lao's hand.

Riu San's reaction also seemed to be in disbelief about what her brother had done. He immediately helps Rin to get Riu Lao to the long chair and lay her down.

Rin took a cloth to bandage the wound on Riu Lao's hand so as not to bleed again.

Long enough he looked at the pale face with his eyes closed, then opened his mouth to ask “How could this be? And how could there be intruders enter the palace while there are guards on guard. Then what about the other circumstances, is the emperor okay?”

Riu San who was showered with many questions could only let out a short sigh, he understood how worried Rin was.

“Hm?”

Riu San was silent for a moment then replied “When I was with brother Lao and brother Zin in the room of his father. One bodyguard told him two suspicious men had infiltrated the palace. Handa's father immediately ordered the guards to arrest the intruder. Who would have thought they had injured Alin Qian who was around the palace kitchen. Brother Zin and I immediately went after the intruder, while brother Lao treated Alin Qian”.

Rin fell silent, such a thing that even he did not know. Perhaps if he did not constantly think about the thing about Riu Lao making his mind mess up, he would be able to stop those intruders from injuring Alin Qian. Thus, Riu Lao did not need to sacrifice himself and lay weak.

Riu San looked at the regret on Rin's face but had no intention of saying what.

“Then did you manage to catch that intruder?”

Before Riu San replied, a voice echoed someone greeting his hearing “San.”

Riu San looked towards the entrance, Riu Zin in slightly tangled clothes walked quickly towards Alin Qian.

“Kakak” Riu San approached her brother and asked “How, did the intruder get caught”

Instead of answering, Riu Zin asked “How is Alin Qian”'s condition

“It's been a little better, brother Lao gave his blood”

Riu Zin caught a glimpse of Riu Lao still lying on the chair, then she looked back at Alin Qian and said “I'll help her”

Without waiting for approval, both of his hands had already raised Alin Qian's body to be treated further in his room. But before that Riu San again asked “What about the intruder?”

“Successfully escaped His Majesty” it was not Riu Zin but Xilian, Riu San's advisor.

Riu Zin heard someone already representing her answering her sister's question, she immediately took her adviser away from there.

“How can I get away” now Riu San is asking his advisor.

“When His Majesty went to see the conditions in the palace, me and prince Riu Zin continued to chase them until they came out far from the palace. But because at night, they managed to sneak away” the descendants of the sweet god was able to talk a lot with the Precious.

Riu San clenched both his hands “Badness, if they come again I won't let them pass”

“Riu San..” Rin called gently “It would be better for prince Riu Lao to be laid on his bed”

Riu San and Xilian immediately took Riu Lao to the bed and laid him there.

Rin sat beside Riu Lao with a sad look, as an adviser she felt useless for letting her Great One get hurt. Unknowingly she shed tears.

Riu San and Xilian simply fell silent without a word coming out of their mouths. They know how Rin feels about Riu Lao, and how the other party treats the other way around.

Quiet long enough until the third prince opened his voice first “You should sleep now, me and Xilian who will take care of brother Lao”

Rin shook her head, she did not want to leave beside Riu Lao for fear of being cheated a second time.

He only asked the waiter to bring cold water and cloth because Riu Lao's body had started to fever.

For medicine? Riu Lao did not need it, he had to meditate to regain his strength. In other words, he had to be conscious first to recover his condition.

“I will accompany you” Riu San sits on one of the chairs there, while Rin may not hear the words “Xilian, have the waiter make a clear pulp and deliver it to Zin”'s room

Riu San knew, her first brother would not think of filling Alin Qian's stomach with warm, unseasoned food.

Riu Zin only knew about weaponry and did not know about how to treat it properly, still he chuckled in bringing his advisers to self-treat.
