Queen Without Crown
Chapter 63 At the End of the Night
Emperor Haocun opened his eyes and his consciousness began to recover. From his current position, the man could watch the entire Baiyun Palace shining brightly at night.
"Am I dead? " Murmurm.
When the man turned his head, he saw the appearance of a mythological creature that had been a symbol of his kingdom.
A Golden Dragon floated with its body swerving in the air. The golden light of the creature shone illuminating the night sky.
Suddenly the Golden Dragon brought his head closer that resembled the head of a camel that had a mane and a beard. His pair of reptilian eyes that shone a reddish yellow stared at Emperor Haocun's face.
"Greetings, Your Majesty Emperor Haocun. "
The Golden Dragon greeted with a heavy voice and boomed like thunder in a storm.
"Golden Dragon? "
"Include me, I am Qinlong. I am the guardian of Baiyun Kingdom who dwells in totems in the court of Baiyun Palace."
"So, the engraving of the Golden Dragon in the palace courtyard is a totem?"
"Yes Your Majesty. "
"Qinlong, am I dead? I still remember that my uncle, Prince Chong, killed me. And now I'm flying over Baiyun's palace with you? "
"Your Majesty is still alive, I managed to draw His Majesty's spirit before passing through the gates of the dead. "
"really? Then I say thank you from the bottom of my heart." Emperor Haocun said sincerely.
"That's my duty, Your Majesty. "
"Can you take me back, Qinlong? "
"Okay, Your Majesty! " Then the Golden Dragon carried Emperor Haocun's body on his back.
Her large, long body was beautifully wrapped and circled above Baiyun palace. Then with a rolling motion, the Golden Dragon finally brought Emperor Haocun down to the palace courtyard.
"Thank God Emperor Haocun survived! " The King of Satria immediately approached when Emperor Haocun had descended from the Golden Dragon's back.
"Thank you King Satria. "
"Honor to Emperor Haocun! " Suddenly General Shi called out in homage to Emperor Haocun.
"Honor to Emperor Haocun! "
Everyone answered in unison while bowing respectfully, including the rebels. They knew that their attempt to overthrow Emperor Haocun's rule was futile after the arrival of the Golden Dragon.
"I am Qinlong. I will be loyal to Baiyun Kingdom. I will kill everyone who wants to destroy this country!" The Golden Dragon's voice boomed.
The rebels were trembling in fear. They immediately kowtowed and surrendered themselves to the palace warriors. Troops loyal to Emperor Haocun disarmed and drove the rebels into custody.
But unfortunately some of them managed to escape including Prince Chong and Chen.
Emperor Haocun immediately ordered the capture of the remnants of the rebels and their fleeing leader. The soldiers immediately spread out sketches of the fugitives and attached them to every corner of the city.
Eldrige was seen approaching the Golden Dragon and greeting politely.
"I had a vision when I saw you, Mr. Eldrige! " The Golden Dragon straightened its head and looked at Eldrige enthusiastically.
"What's that? " Eldrige frowned.
"I see you won't live as long as the other fairies! "
"Did you see my death? "
"No! But I see you transformed into mortal beings. "
"You mean, I became a human? " Eldrige looked surprised.
"Yes! "
"Why? " The fairy was curious.
"Love! "
"But my heart has long been frozen. "
"Didn't the heart start to warm?"
"But the woman who has warmed my heart already belongs to another man. "
"That's not true love. You will realize it later. "
"What about my job as a Guardian? "
"Isn't that just a department? Someone will replace him, don't worry! "
"If it's my destiny, I'll accept it. "
"Blessed is Mr. Eldrige. The thread of the matchmaking has tied you to the woman."
"Who is he? "
"I can't say it even if I know who it is."
"It's okay. I appreciate your advice. "

Early in the morning before dawn, the residents had come to throng the palace gates. They were amazed to see the Golden Dragon coiling in the palace courtyard.
They also denounced the rebels who dared to stage a coup against the government of Emperor Haocun.
The palace officials were immediately preoccupied with repairing the ruined palace. Dozens of people from outside the palace were recruited to help them clean up the mess.
Emperor Haocun had also ordered the Empress and Crown Prince to be picked up by his personal guards.
"Eldrige, let's go get Queen Gita and my son! " Take the King of Satria when he sees the elf finished talking to the Golden Dragon.
"Okay, Your Majesty! "
Eldrige opened the dimensional hole with his finger and then along with King Satria to Yaodong, the stone mountain that was hollowed out as a house, where Queen Gita was located.
The stone-walled room was empty, tatami and blankets neatly folded. Queen Gita and her baby are missing.
"Where are they? " Task King Satria anxiously
"Maybe they're outside? " Eldrige looked out.
The two of them went down the stone stairs attached to the steep mountain slope. Now they are 100 meters above the ground. There were many other Yaodongs connected to that stone staircase. They plan to visit the "neighbors" in search of Queen Gita.
"Are you demons?" Asked a ten-year-old boy who was standing at the door of his house.
"Beng Chu, speak politely! "
A woman's voice sounded from within. When the woman came out, her face immediately paled when she saw King Satria and Eldrige who looked very foreign.
"W-who are you? " The woman's voice was trembling.
"We're gods! " Answer to King Satria.
The woman immediately prostrated while pulling her child to join in prostration.
"God, what does God want? "
"We're looking for a woman with her baby. His hair was long and his eyes wide. "
"What do you mean, Yok Kim? The widow gave birth yesterday. He used his wide eyes to tease the men here. Do you want to take his life? " The woman spoke with anger.
"We are not gods of death! And it's not the widow we're looking for. She's a young and beautiful woman." Answer King Satria.
"Surely, the widow is not beautiful. Just a pretty pretentious. So isn't he? " The woman sounded disappointed.
"We'll just go Eldrige! "
They left the woman and went to another house. The average person reacts the same as the woman. Confused and amazed to see King Satria and Eldrige. But unfortunately, they never saw Queen Gita.
"Don't until Queen Gita is gone again! Besides why the hell, did you put my son and wife in that cave? Do they not fall down? "
King Satria became anxious because of his own words. He stepped down the stone stairs quickly without fear of slipping. In his mind was only the safety of his son and wife.
After reaching the ground, King Satria immediately ran looking for their whereabouts here and there. But all is nil.
"Is it possible for Queen Gita to enter the forest? " Tanya Eldrige.
"Why did my wife get into the woods? "
"Maybe Queen Gita is looking for food? "
"So you don't provide food? " King Satria was in disbelief.
"I don't have any food. "
"Next time bring some money!"
"I have money, but last night it was bad. I didn't get to think about that. Forgive me Your Majesty! "
"I know Eldrige, I'm sorry. I'm just pissed off! "
"You guys have come? "
King Satria and Eldrige turned towards the source of the voice. They saw Queen Gita standing up holding her baby in the chest with a cloth. While his right hand held a bow and his left hand hugged the wild persimmon fruit.
"Where are you from, honey? " King Satria hurriedly approached his wife.
"I'm sorry, I'm looking for food. Juwita was fussy from earlier, whereas I couldn't suckle her. "
"Are you hunting? " King Satria pointed a bow at his wife's hand.
"I intended to hunt rabbits, but it was difficult to carry a baby. "
"Let's go back to Baiyun's palace. After saying goodbye to Emperor Haocun, we return to the Elfians. "
"Going home? " The woman seemed doubtful.
"Yes, go back home." King Satria replied firmly while hugging his wife's shoulder.
Queen Gita nodded. The woman handed over the fruits in her hands to King Satria. And King Satria passed it to Eldrige.
"Bring us to the Haocun Emperor, Eldrige! "
"Okay, Your Majesty! "
Eldrige ripped the air with his right hand to open the dimensional hole, while his left hand carried persimmon fruit from the hunt of Queen Gita.
