LEGEND OF THE CROWN PRINCESS

ARC 1 - CROWN PRINCESS: Episode 1 - Rebirth to the past

Woosh

On a Continent called Daehan the roar of a woman running around barefoot was clearly heard, she continued to shy away from the pursuit of the sharp-armed bandits. The footplate left far behind he no longer cared about. Crown Princess Wen Yijin, who is known as Ryu for now, is accused of being the murderer of king Wen Lei, who is none other than his own father. Inevitably, he must immediately save himself even if he is innocent, the heinous charge thrown by his stepmother Consort Fan Hai makes everyone in the Palace hunt for Ryu's whereabouts.

"Excession! That demonic woman purposely set me up!" he continued to stay away from the palace.

"Catch that woman! Don't let him get away! He poisoned the king!" the cry of a noble lady with sharp nosediving brows sounded echoing into the ears of her men.

A young girl next to him looks to be waving a hand fan with a facial mimic that is so annoying to the eye. "Mother, kill him this time!" said the young girl.

"Let's just relax, baby, I won't let her live again!" The distinctive grin he always gave to every person who stood in the way was clearly visible on his face.

Ryu, it's cornered. Now, there was no other way but to fight and kill the bandits or be killed by them. No one sided with her, everything that meant to her had already been wiped out by her stepmother. His father King Wen Lei, his best friend Huo Sijue, his adoptive grandfather Asahi had all been tragically killed. Holding back the sadness and tightness in his chest only made him weaken. The tree that was at the end of the abyss continued to wave as if it welcomed his presence. But Ryu, not going to give up he won't be that easy getting killed by power-hungry bastards.

After his memories returned and came to the Palace, Ryu instead had to be faced with a series of events that put himself in this position. He's determined to be strong, dead or alive, whether or not he'll spend the rest of his time rooting out all those bastards.

After some time, Ryu has been shrouded in the form of a human demon. They were all ready to slash out Ryu's body which started to tremble a little. He held the sword in his hand. "I will not forgive you!"

The bandits just chuckled to see Ryu full of anger and hatred. With the rest of her strength, Ryu fought against the ten people who took turns stabbing and slashing her body. Blood was already pouring out, the pain he should have felt was not even felt at all as his anger and hatred overflowed.

The swords of the bandits tore through Ryu's body, the woman began to faintly look at the few people in front of her. He began to lose his balance and limp. There stood, the royal weaponry official, her stepmother and her step-sister Wen Jia. Ryu's eyes began to weigh and he felt that he could not hold his body weight anymore, it felt like half his soul almost came out of that body.

"Wen Yijin's! You think returning to the Palace and trying to seize my power is the best way? You should have stayed with the old man instead of accepting the offer to take care of the King. This time I will make sure, you follow your father to Hell!" concluded Consort Fan Hai while crossing his arms in the chest.

"I'm not going to die!" exclaim Ryu.

"You will die, release those starving dogs now! Let him tear apart the body of this traitor and this haughty woman!"

The released herd of dogs tore Ryu's body apart leaving his bones alone. Ryu's stepmother and half-sister burst out laughing with their success of killing the king and making the crown princess a scapegoat. In fact, there was no longer a barrier for them to rule over the Wen Kingdom now.

"If I could repeat it."

"If I could repeat it."

"If I could repeat it again," Ryu's inner.

"Let'soooo!"

Ryu blinked, his body lying on the bed which he believed to be his room in Grandpa Asahi's tavern. He examined his entire body that had been crushed to the brink of being eaten by a hungry dog. His breathing rattled if it was a dream, how could it be as horrible and as real as that? He remembers clearly, that he had passed through death, to make sure Ryu had gone from there.

"Is this the afterlife? But why in the afterlife the decoration is the same as Grandpa's shop?" Ryu frowned as he examined all parts of his body, thank goodness everything was intact.

"Grandfather!"

"about!"

After all, he couldn't possibly escape death. Ryu looks confused and continues to wait for his grandfather and Akira to answer. He hoped that none of this was a dream, he hoped that he would wake up again.

"What's Ryu doing?" Grandpa Asahi was seen cleaning some glasses of clay.

Ryu raised his eyebrows. "How many years is the cake?"

"What's Ryu? You look very strange. Just woke up, but asked me the year."

"That's the new bracelet you bought at the royal festival yesterday."

Ryu was stunned, the woman was unable to digest what was happening. If the festival was only held yesterday it would mean Ryu came back to life and woke up where he had not come to the Palace.

"Rather than daydreaming, you better help grandpa clean these glasses!"

"Good cake!" a faint smile was painted on Ryu's face. He still could not digest what had happened actually yet, however, if she was indeed reborn she would immediately avenge her for the death she had endured and she would prevent every bad thing that Consort Fan Hai would do.

"I will not forgive them even a single date!" Ryu. "His life is avenged" he continued.

The next morning, Ryu helps Asahi's grandfather open the tavern and divines as usual. The store, not only used as a place to drink but used as a place to find fate. Everyone knows Asahi's grandfather was a good fortune teller. But Ryu, just a trickster acting like a psychic.

"You are destined to be a match!" the grin of the girl made everyone who watched her turn their backs.

"Heh crazy shaman! We are brothers!"

"duh... Shit!" Inner Ryu. He could only faintly grin and scratch his head.

"He-he like this, try asking your parents. Are you really brothers?"

"Come brother, let's just get out of here. You deceitful shaman!" The woman pulled her brother's arm and took him away. While Ryu was instantly bowed in lethargy, everyone cheered him for his unreasonableness in divination.

"Don't be discouraged!" said the white-haired man with a long beard who approached him to the front seat of the tavern.

"Why didn't grandpa tell you they were brothers?"

"They are not brothers" replied his grandfather.

"Where did grandpa know? Earlier, I just read his hand line with origin!" that thick brunette girl who made her grandfather laugh.

"Ryu, you are a good fraud."

Ryu kicked the table, "then I should be able to convince them more!" After almost a week of being reborn to three years before coming to the kingdom. Ryu becomes a more persistent person. He even became seeing training in the sword techniques that Asahi's grandfather had taught him.

"Ryu, you better help your sister clean up the glasses of former buyers!"

"All right cake." Ryu actually has no talent in the field of divination. He was only smart to quibble and play words, but his rarely misses made everyone believe that he also had talent like his grandfather.

After helping Akira, Ryu daydreams at the tree at the edge of the tavern.

"Hmm," a dull voice rang out from behind Ryu's body.

The girl looked back. "Isn't this the eighth year after that?" ask the man behind her.

Ryu just nodded.

"You still don't remember?"

Ryu shakes. "Maybe... God does not allow me to remember."

He looked back at the not-so-tall tree. Ryu lied. He knew clearly who he was now, he was just plotting his revenge without sacrificing anyone.
