LEGEND OF THE CROWN PRINCESS

Episode 38 - New Devil

On a steep hill, a strong wind blew through the journey of a young woman whose breath was almost exhausted after traveling quite a distance. When passing through the river the water is so clear and refreshing, he was tempted to drink it with his bare hands. As the water flowed with relief in his throat, he saw the black smog emerging from within the river forming an illusion that was exactly like a demon.

"Don't come any closer!" The girl took a few steps back in fear, her hands trembling while holding her body weight on the ground.

"I will help you take revenge, I can help you gain power, wealth, so that you will not be insulted again. And also, take your revenge on that girl ha-ha-ha."

The woman fell silent then looked at the shadow demon expectantly. "really? Can you do it?"

"of course! But the conditions give me your soul let me work to achieve it all!" the demon stretched out its hand waiting for the woman named Xin Er to shake her hand and agree.

Gradually Xin Er's hand warmly welcomed the shadow demon's hand. Instantly his mind was blank and hypnotized, after the shadow demon entered him Xin Er's eyes turned reddish, he appeared to look confident and ambitious, the evil grin engraved on his face looked sinister. "Basic stupid! But I won't break my promise, I've been waiting for this for hundreds of years. To resurrect my king, how lucky I am to have such a noble-blooded girl."

Then he walked through the forest, he was about to go to where Xin Er came from and live Xin Er as he pleased. In the middle of the journey he saw a horse carriage that was dropping a girl who was none other than Wen Jia. Jia in ordinary clothes was abandoned in the middle of the forest, when all those people went Xin Er met Jia while grinning.

"Mr Princess?"

Jia furrowed her brows. "Xin Er's! You still here?" then Jia stood up and threw her carry-on bag at Xin Er. "Good then! Help me and serve me!"

Instead of taking Jia's bag, Xin Er instead attacked the girl and pushed her all the way to the trees. The great power within Xin Er's body, the quick movement earlier made Jia's eyes round. "Hey, let me go!"

"You think it's that easy? You are no longer the Princess but still act like one of them. Because this time I find you, swear that you will serve me!"

"You're crazy! The fake Crown Princess is acting real! Lower me!" Jia rebelled, as her two pupils met Xin Er's, the girl's eyes flushed brightly and then grinned so frighteningly. Xin Er held her hands around Jia's neck and hung them higher up in the trees.

Jia coughed and felt her breathing cut off. "alright. Please put me down! I'm sorry, I promise to serve you!"

Brakes

Xin Er dropped Jia just to the ground, causing the woman to sit quietly under the trees while enduring the pain of the lunatic woman's trap in front of her. Jia sensed something was strange to Xin Er, she felt that the girl was no longer her yesterday. But, for now all he could do was follow him and save himself instead of being devoured by the ferocious wolves that roamed the forest.

In the end, Jia followed Xin Er all the way to the girl's hometown. His servant and Xin Er happened arbitrarily to Jia. Xin Er will return to the Wen Kingdom to avenge her and seize the power of Emperor Yijin in order to raise the Demon King she glorified.

Ryu pleaded while clasping the hairpin with both hands. From a distance Huo Sijue noticed Yijin then walked right down the window of the emperor's room. "Your Majesty looks so moody, even though in Shou'an Pavilion everything is having fun."

Yijin aimed at Huo Sijue below him. "Officers are also why would you rather go out than have fun in that brothel?"

"My heart was not at ease seeing my best friend so moody today, I tried to approach her but when it dawned on me I could no longer, it felt like my heart was hurting enough to accept it."

Yijin almost shed his tears, he descended from the window in front of Huo Sijue. Landing in balance before him made Sijue so worried. "Your Majesty!"

"It's okay, I'm used to climbing trees with my best friend first." Yijin smiled subtly at Sijue and clasped the man's hand. "Sijue, promise me when there's only the two of us. We are the same, you can still call me Ryu, there is no awkward feeling and fear to talk to each other even holding hands like before."

"Hamba don't dare, Your Majesty!"

"Sijue, this is an order!" Yijin stared at Sijue sharply making the man could no longer refuse his wish. Actually, it was also a great relief to hear for Sijue. But his sense of responsibility says that it's wrong.

"Okay, Your Majesty."

Yijin gave a warm smile to Sijue, then asked him to walk her around the Qianqing Main Palace. Although he looked like a fool, because the one who knew this entire palace was he was not Huo Sijue. But Yijin still wanted to be accompanied by the young man beside him. He did not want to, Sijue felt awkwardness when meeting him. He had promised to grant Sijue an exception to every court order, he did not want their relationship to be strained due to his current status as Emperor.

In the middle of the journey the two crossed paths with Master Tao, Hu Yazhu and also Prince Long who had just walked out of the Shou'an Pavilion. They fell silent as they saw Yijin walking hand in hand with Huo Sijue in the palace garden. "Greetings Your Majesty, what are you doing at night without a warm robe like this?" Prince Long looked straight at Wen Yijin.

Then Yijin released his grasp from Sijue. "I just want to take a walk."

"Your Majesty, if you want to go for a walk you can call a servant. Your safety is the main. I as the Great General will definitely protect you!" hu Yazhu.

"Yes, Your Majesty. It's not good to go out at night without a warm cape. As your advisor, come with me to the palace and rest. And again, there are things to talk to you."

Yijin snorted softly seeing the three people before him overreacting like he was about to die alone. He never even wore warm clothes while wandering around in the middle of the night but now, he was so precious. "All right!" Yijin turned his head towards Huo Sijue and smiled sweetly. "Thank you for being with me, you come back and rest!"

"Okay, Your Majesty, I will carry out my orders."
