LEGEND OF THE CROWN PRINCESS

Episode 17 - Prince Long Chen

In his previous life Hu Yazhu had indeed expressed his interest in Wen Yijin. However, since Yijin only considered him a friend so their relationship did not go beyond that. In this life Ryu did not know yet whether Hu Yazhu's figure was still with his feelings for Yijin or not whereas at this time he was not a Crown Princess of Wen Kingdom but only a lowly psychic who was brought to the Palace.

After all, it was clear enough for both, Hu Yazhu bawled away from the Pavilion then returned to the training arena to watch over the twenty new soldiers who were taken from the Aera Tribe rebellion while Ryu again wore training clothes and carried a bow complete with a arrows to the archery area.

Hu Yazhu recalled the scar as well as the troubled meridian points of Ryu on his back. He kept thinking about what kind of incident could cause someone to be seriously injured like that, but since he knew his relationship with Ryu was just a mere charade he naturally had to keep himself from interfering in the affairs of others. If it had nothing to do with him he shouldn't have thought too much about it.

In his previous life, when this event took place Wen Yijin was the one who led the archery training event but unfortunately at that time he was exposed to a trap that had been prepared by Consort Fan Hai to hurt him in the forest and finally Yijin returned to the palace with some wounds on his body. He who used to be not so careful in judging someone now knows which he should avoid and fight. Instead, Ryu was now walking with so much spirit that this time he was also convinced that the same trap would be set by Consort Fan Hai and his daughter to hurt him again but Ryu already had a way to escape of all that.

Princess Wen Jia who looked so overjoyed when she saw Ryu enter the training area directly approached her and greeted her kindly but the woman's grin was able to be interpreted by Ryu as a sign of death for her.

"It's great to see Miss Ryu join."

"I'm the one who is the most happy about being able to do this training with Crown Princess Jia."

Wen Jia smiled with rounded eyes, so flattered a little she felt almost soaring into the air when it was obvious that Ryu did that just to mock her. It was a miracle for Ryu that he could experience a second life so he could easily play with the power-hungry mother and son. Ryu only hoped that the terrible events of his previous life would not happen again in this life.

Some Princesses from other Kingdoms have already started arriving to attend training because the Continent Annual Event will be held soon. Some representatives of other Kingdoms have indeed come to make preparations, they also certainly want to see each other's techniques in several competitions held, he said, seen Princess Long Xia who was supposed to be Wen Yijin's sister-in-law in her previous life come and greet everyone who was there.

"Princess Xia welcome!" Jia with her style that was like a real Crown Princess greeted Princess Long kindly.

"Thank you."

Princess Long Xia who was famous for being quiet and only talking as necessary then fell silent again and focused on the training event today. Ryu took a step and stood beside Princess Long, he smiled faintly as the woman turned her head towards him.

"Hail the Crown Princess."

The words of Princess Long certainly made everyone who was there turn their backs in disbelief, Princess Jia took a step closer towards Princess Long and also Ryu Ito she seemed to feel like she had to explain regarding Ryu Ito's status within the Palace.

Wen Jia and her other older cousins did not hesitate to ridicule Princess Long but Ryu swiftly defended. Princess Xia looked to be moody and anxious due to her wrong speech.

"My name is Ryu Ito and is only a Royal guest, I hope Princess Jia no longer has this issue after all Princess Jia also has no right to correct what Princess Xia said."

Wen Jia stepped forward to approach towards Ryu. "I have no right to correct? I am the Crown Princess! How dare she mispronounce you as the Crown Princess, is that right?"

"All I know is that the position of the Crown Princess cannot be taken for granted and Princess Jia has not officially become the Crown Princess so I hope this trivial matter can be resolved soon."

"Is there a problem?" A man behind Princess Long came suddenly as if to know about what kind of commotion was in this female archery area, it was Prince Long Chen the man who should be Wen Yijin's husband.

Prince Long Chen was unable to take his eyes off of Ryu Ito who stood up straight in defense of his little sister. So that since some time ago from a distance he had been watching Ryu and amazed at the courage of the woman to argue with Princess Jia.

"Sister doesn't need to interfere, it's Xia's fault. Xia thought Miss Ryu was the Crown Princess of the Kingdom but it turned out that she was just a guest and that it hurt Princess Wen Jia's feelings."

"After all, her aura does look like that of the Crown Princess, she shines even from a distance and unlike the other Princess whose aura and aura are so dark and sinister." Prince Long held his hands back.

Upon hearing Prince Long's remark, Ryu could barely hold back his laughter so he had to bow his face to grin and mock Jia. Wen Jia further widened as everyone who heard Prince Long's words could barely contain their laughter, she grew even more annoyed and decided not to prolong the matter at hand.

"Why is Prince Long here? Shouldn't it be in the training area fighting alongside Commander Hu Yazhu?" Wen Jia switched the conversation and wanted to expel the arrogant Prince immediately.

Prince Long ignored Wen Jia's question then looked at Ryu with a look of admiration. "I was originally here to see if my little sister was comfortable? But after seeing that someone unknown dared to defend her I felt a little calm. I hope we can meet again, I have to express my gratitude to you."

Ryu saluted and a subtle smile on his face for Prince Long Chen. After the man left Wen Jia immediately started training with archery from close range first. After finding some people who escaped, then the hurdle would be increased. Only five of the ten people on the list made it through to the next stage, Princess Long did not count because she was from another Kingdom and she was only training with them.
