The Fourth Princess's Gossip System

208

In the pitch-black middle of the night, the full moon shone brightly in the sky, illuminating the scene of snow lying beneath. Amidst the silence of the night, a shadow guard was skillfully hidden among the white snow, like a shadow that was fused with the surrounding environment.

Her clothes, which were pitch-black in color, allowed her to fuse with the darkness of the night and the shadows created by the moonlight. He avoids any bumps or surfaces that might let him be seen. Like a ghost of the night, he moved nimbly on top of the thin layer of snow covering the ground.

While still maintaining vigilance, the shadow guard opened the leg of the letter-sending dove silent in his hand. He crouched down carefully, making sure that the letter did not fall into the snow or get exposed to the night's humidity. As he opened the scroll quickly, his eyes moved deftly across the words printed on it.

Suddenly, the shadow guard raised his head and looked around. It seems like the message he read has given an important signal and action should be taken quickly. In an instant, he jumped from his hiding place earlier and left a deep footprint on the snow.

As he moved, he avoided patterns and footprints that might leave signs of his existence. He jumped and ran agilely, disappearing among the dense trees .

The hiding place was empty and traces of his existence disappeared, as if he had never been there.

Not long after, the shadow guard arrived at the fourth Prince's safe house with careful steps. The small house was located in the middle of the forest, away from the eyes of others. As he entered the dark room, a moonlight entered through the small window, illuminating the gloomy scene.

The old bed in the corner of the room looks derelict and messy. The fourth prince lay weakly on it, with his stomach wrapped in a red cloth that had already been flushed from his own blood. His face was pale and his breathing sounded weak as he tried to stay sober.

"Fourth cast," said the shadow guard in a soft voice, approaching the bed cautiously. "I brought a message from Uncle Prince."

The fourth prince opened his glaring eyes, his normally sharp eyes looking weak in dim light. He tried to smile even though his face looked pale and tired.

The prince's uncle was his most trusted protector.Now there was a message from his, how could he not be excited.

"What message?" he murmured in a still weak voice.

"We must leave this place and return to the capital secretly," the shadow guard replied firmly. "Uncle Prince is worried that the situation is getting more complicated and danger is lurking. He wants us to move fast."

The fourth prince nodded, although the movement seemed to be weakening. "All right," he said with great difficulty. "We'll move soon."

The shadow guard looked at the fourth prince with worry in his eyes. He looked at the weak state of the prince and felt the urgency of the situation.

"Wait here the dapper "he said slowly.

The fourth man felt helpless. He did not help at all but instead dragged these people along with him. Now all he could do was sit still and obey the arrangements they made.

At least with that he would still survive and live another two days.Then the fourth Prince lay down again and he was mentally prepared to leave the location.

The shadow guard had not left, but he had already asked his friend to run the task.

Hundreds of meters from the fourth piercing hideout. Dozens of people from X province are being displaced, they are walking through steep footpaths. They carry heavy loads, look tired from a long and tiring journey. Some carried things on their shoulders, wore shabby clothes and traces of dirt and mud from difficult journeys.

Surviving in province x is tantamount to waiting to die.No help from the government and its cold weather makes the stomach increasingly scream.

Once in a dera with a long drought, now there is still cold weather that pierces the bones.

They have to go to a better place

Among the crowd was a bull cart tethered with tired bandages, pulled by an animal that looked as tired as its owner.

The carriages of the horse-drawn carriages also drove slowly, transporting the families and valuables they had brought from their abandoned homes. The loaded freight carrier carriage also passed with the rumbling of its iron wheels over the muddy road.

While the people were moving slowly, the shadow guards hidden among them were quick. He spoke to a shabbily dressed man, giving a strand of silver in exchange.

 In a soft voice, he whispered words that only the two of them knew. The person received the silver strand and smiled nodding as a sign of understanding.

After the exchange, the shadow guards slowly moved back and disappeared among the walking crowd.

He continued his duties carefully, trying not to arouse suspicion among the refugees.

Some time later, this Shadow Guard came up with a heart and said to the other shadow guard."The task is done. We can leave now.Is the 4th Prince ready?"

"Yes, he's been waiting and being inside"

The Shadow Guard immediately nodded." Report him that it's time to go"

The Shadow Guard went inside and spoke to the 4th Prince. "Prince, we're ready to go"

The 4th Prince also rose with great difficulty and nodded." Okay, I'll be ready soon"

" Prince, these clothes will help you disguise as a poor farmer. We must keep your identity from being revealed"

The 4th prince did not refuse, he immediately took out the tattered farmer's clothes and replaced them quickly.

After the 4th Prince changed clothes, carefully, the shadow guards carried the 4th Prince on their shoulders, making sure he was protected and invisible to anyone.

If they were to walk on foot, with the injuries that the fourth Prince had sustained they might not be able to join the people's motorcade.

Here the 4th Prince also did not refuse at least he did not want to be a burden on others.

In that way, they moved towards the convoy of refugees, joining them without attracting attention.

The person who had received the payment pretended not to see when the 4th Prince entered the carriage filled with groceries.

This movement is so smooth and silent.

They could have rented a more comfortable carriage for the 4th prince. But now they were under the pursuit of another group who wanted the fourth Prince's life.

Following the movements of the shadow guard was also not possible for the fourth prince, due to his unhealed wounds.

Afraid his wounds would open again, if the shadow guards insisted.

Actually the wound is not so worrying anymore, it's just lack of hygiene and less attention also considering the cold weather.

So the best option to get out of province x is to follow the convoy of residents who also left province X.

The other side of the shadow guard would continue to monitor the safety of the fourth Prince from afar.One of the elite shadow guards was also seconded to accompany him along the journey.

So in the carriage that contained the food supply, there were actually two people sneaking around.

Currently inside the carriage was the 4th Prince unable to rest. You won't find asphalt roads this year, plus there's no dampening system on every train car .So it could be said what it was like to get into the train carriage at this time.

It's like a rollercoaster ride in the second century

The 4th Prince who was used to riding soft horse carriages because it was covered with rugs and blankets of animal fur.

But now he was faced with the opposite condition. This made his already declining mental situation even worse.

"Prince, is your wound still sore?" ask the shadow guard.

Shadow guards are people who are usually injured and have been trained to forget pain.

It was only when they were given some good pills from the princess that only then did they feel that they were human.

But pain is something that cannot be avoided in this job. Different but so different things happened to the fourth Prince. He was never injured at all and he had just experienced what it meant to be a real life.

Of course he would experience what was called shock. But the princess did not give pills for it.

"No, this doesn't hurt anymore.But why does Uncle Prince want us to return to the capital?" ask her.

If conditions allow, it takes a month of travel to get to the capital.But now the weather is getting colder and where there are people trying to survive on the streets.

This journey home will never be easy.

"Our job is just to obey orders, the rest we don't know" the shadow guard said.

As a shadow guard he was already trained to not talk much with the people around just that the fourth Prince's mental state had thus dropped .So he had to interact often and talk to her so as not to put more pressure on her.

As the fourth prince thought taking a deep breath and caressing the wound on his stomach.

So far he thinks life is life, but it seems he's wrong. Life is something to be fought for.

Just look at how much people are suffering out there .They have been starving for days and are now forcing themselves to leave the birthplace and go in search of a new life that is not yet clear.

Under the darkness of the shrouded night and the unceasing snowfall, the fourth prince's eyes caught a heart-wrenching sight.

An old grandmother was lying weakly on a stretcher carried by some young men who also looked weak and thin. Their faces looked exhausted and hungry.

In the dim moonlight illumination, their bodies were filled with layers of shabby clothing to deal with the bone-chilling cold.

As they crossed the road that lay between the snow-capped trees, their steps seemed to tremble, as if the burden they were carrying was too heavy. The old granny looked helpless, her tired eyes just looking expressionless. Occasionally, sounding******* weakly comes out of his dry lips.

"If one day I become Emperor, I will not let my people suffer like this. I will improve their living conditions, give them shelter, enough food and access to health care. No one else should feel the suffering they are currently experiencing. I will bring about a better change" the fourth prince muttered.

In the silence of the silent night, the 4th Prince held a determination in his heart. He pondered about the future he hoped he could bring to his people. Although the conditions around him were very sad, his determination grew stronger to bring about a better change for his country.

"Prince, the journey will be a long time so rest" said the shadow guard.He sent a sleeping pill from the princess.

Princess said, this pill is good for making enemies fall asleep for two days without waking up but this will also not interfere with the stability of the body because it contains substances that the human body needs.

This is useful to bring the enemy to a designated place without resistance and not worry that the enemy will die on the road.

But now this pill is more suitable for the Rooster.

"Pil is good, but I will sleep for two days without knowing what.Is this good ?"said refuse.

"Prince, your body needs rest .The wounds will heal quickly and we can move faster to the capital later on" said the shadow guard.

If the Prince could rest for two days, the wounds would heal faster.Two days in his sleep, it is estimated that they would have moved away from province X.

Meanwhile the pursuers would definitely never have guessed if the fourth Prince would leave the area already ordered by the Emperor.

"No, this prince will definitely be fine This prince will see how the commoners live and learn about life through them" said the 4th prince with his deathly pale lips.

"Definitely a tricker but for it to heal faster.Be strong for the commoners if not how could the Prince protect them if the body is just like this"

After hearing these words from the shadow guard, the fourth prince immediately got along.

He had to leave and could not trouble the shadow guards in their duties.This was all he could do now.

So he immediately swallowed the sleeping pill.

"Guard, this Prince is handing himself over to you guys, if this prince survives then this Prince will not forget this kindness for life" he said softly.

His eyes gradually blurred as he said like that.The more here his determination just got stronger.

A desire that had never been in him.

So it is the Emperor ....

Emperors....
