LEGEND OF THE CROWN PRINCESS

Episode 12 - Abduction

In an empty and small old hut, Ryu and Sijue held back the heat and stifling air they felt. Sweat that poured even flowed to their bodies. The group of people were still looking for Huo Sijue outside, while Sijue and Ryu were still playing as if they were making love with the heat.

"Where did that man go? Is it inside this shack. Hey out!" angry at the man outside the hut.

"Ah.. Hasten... I can't take it anymore!" Hearing Ryu's so seductive hiss made Huo Sijue's eyes almost pop out of place.

Ryu pulled Huo Sijue's neck to get closer to him and whispered. "Quick! It's just a charade! If you don't want to die just follow my plan!"

"Of course! I'll do it as you please!" Huo Sijue shouted deliberately to be heard by the person outside the hut.

"Damn fish, only two people are making love during the day. Let's go, then plan an attack on the Palace!" said one of the Aera Tribe residents.

After all those residents left and stayed away, Ryu breathed a sigh of relief. Then, the woman's eyes turned towards the man above her. "Stay away from me!" Ryu pushed Huo Sijue away from his body.

"Short-wear! We need to get out of here!" Ryu threw the other Huo Sijue clothes towards the young man then grabbed his own clothes and turned his back to Huo Sijue to wear them, his cheeks burning and blushing at the same time.

"I don't mind if we go on a show again." Huo Sijue grinned mischievously.

Ryu glared giving a deadly look at Sijue. "Quick don't talk too much! Grandpa must be looking for me!"

Both of them passed from there and rode their horses. While occasionally looking at Ryu, Sijue continued to smile happily at the look on his face. "In a moment they will definitely attack the Palace!"

"Yes you're right! I need to get to the tavern immediately before Hu Yazhu picks up. We part here, thanks for your help Huo Sijue! We'll meet again after I get home from the Palace!" Ryu waved his hand then sped up the control of the horse to get to the tavern immediately. "Hhhh!"

"See you, Ryu!"

Ryu spurred his horse to the tavern, after he got there, he had seen Hu Yazhu in clothes that showed his leadership was sitting and chatting with Asahi's grandfather. Ryu gave a rude snort then waltzed in without greeting the man. Grandfather Asahi realized Ryu's annoyance, yet he didn't annotate anything.

His feet stepped into the store, until Akira immediately approached Ryu with a new light blue Hanfu. Ryu snorted softly then grabbed the item without reacting anything. After changing clothes, Ryu moved out to meet Hu Yazhu and Asahi's grandfather.

From a distance, one of the soldiers ran with bad breath to meet Hu Yazhu. "Commander! Gawat, the rebellious Aera Tribe attacked the Palace!"

Hu Yazhu immediately stood up with a face that looked horrified. He was so shocked when he heard the news, without further ado the man immediately left the tavern with his horse. He did not even look at Ryu in the slightest. "Even so cold, I admit his loyalty to the Kingdom." Ryu muttered making Asahi's grandfather turn his head in surprise.

"Already! Most likely he won't come back here to pick you up. Quickly change clothes again, you must be uncomfortable ’kan?" grandpa Asahi precedes Ryu to go inside. The woman was still stunned and looked at Hu Yazhu who was starting to move away from her gaze.

Ryu let out a long sigh then went inside the tavern which they had to close immediately. The night had brought out the beauty, Ryu opened the window of the room and looked at the shady tree in the moonlight. He stood up then stepped up and sat at the end of the bed that was fused with the window sill. With her legs resting on the window sills Ryu hooks her hands on her knees. "My feelings keep changing, sometimes I'm afraid to face all of this. There are times when I really want to reach my goals."

The next morning, the birds chirp rouse Ryu from his beautiful sleep. Even last night's window was still wide open because he was slung away. The knock on the room door was several times ignored by Ryu, until one hard kick damaged his bedroom door.

Brakkk

Ryu blinked then immediately grabbed the sword that was on the edge of the bed. He stood up then removed the sword from its sheath, now the shiny sharp object was pointed straight at a thin bearded man with a cloth wrapped around his head. His stained and seedy clothes meant that the man was a bandit.

"Miss, you beat my men last night right ’kan?" the man threw out a sword and grinned. His swift pace required Ryu to retreat from the man's attack.

Sreet

Brakkk

The sword incision hit Ryu's room window covering cloth, then slashed through the solid mattress that Ryu had just slept on making the cotton pops that were inside it come out scattered. "Damn it!" as the bandit.

Ryu ran towards the door of the room, he waited for the man to approach him. As she was about to be caught, Ryu held both hands against the doorway and kicked the man's stomach hard. After the man staggered Ryu slashed his sword around the neck of the bandit and blood splashed on the floor of the room. It even fouled his sharp sword.

Ryu came out by dragging the man's corpse, he saw the state of the tavern. Grandpa Asahi came out in a messy outfit, although his grandfather was quite skilled at swordplay but his physique was no longer as strong as it used to be. Grandpa Asahi cried and hugged Ryu. "They brought your sister!"

"Who?" Ryu furrowed his brows and tightened the grip on the sword furiously.

"The bandits," concluded Asahi's grandfather. Not long after the door of the tavern opened, he saw Hu Yazhu with a very confused look approaching Ryu and Asahi's grandfather.

"What's wrong?" hu Yazhu asked in a panic.

"Grandfather stay calm, do not close the store for a while so that many people who visit so as to reduce the criminals come. I'll bring Akira back to grandpa, I promise!" Ryu ignored Hu Yazhu and dropped the corpse of the bandit he had dragged into his hands onto the floor violently. He walked ahead of Hu Yazhu but the man's burly hands held him back.

"You're wasting my time, let go quickly or I'll cut your head off Hu Yazhu! My brother's in danger!" ryu growled and squinted his eyes at Hu Yazhu.

"I will help you, quickly ride a horse with me. We can still pursue them." Hu Yazhu proposed. Ryu was still staring at her without any romance, he snorted violently then came out of the tavern and climbed onto Hu Yazhu's horse first.

Hu Yazhu saluted Asahi's grandfather then climbed on his horse and rode with Ryu to chase after the Akira kidnappers. "I shouldn't have involved these people in my revenge mission" Ryu said.
