The Last Queen of Peacelava

CHAPTER 12

While on the way home, Xin Qian felt a little uneasy. He thought about what it would be like to become a queen.

Whether everything will stay like this, or better, or even worse than this. He really felt that he was not ready to lead the land of Peacelavia.

"Daughter, what are you thinking?"

"Nothing, Ji Nian."

"Don't daydream while riding a horse. You could've fallen if you weren't careful."

A moment later the horse that Xin Qian was riding slipped by a sharp rock and almost made Xin Qian fall over. Ji Nian held onto Xin Qian's left hand so that she wouldn't fall to the ground. The horse was injured and could not bring Xin Qian back to the palace.

Ji Nian invited Xin Qian to ride a horse with him, but at that moment Xin Qian refused and decided to go on foot. But the Soldiers persuaded Xin Qian to return to the palace with Ji Nian, while the Soldiers would take care of the horse.

Xin Qian agreed to Ji Nian's invitation and sat in the front, while Ji Nian would herd the horse and sit behind Xin Qian. Ji Nian asked Xin Qian to hold on tightly, then the horse walked towards the palace.

Xin Qian was pleased with Ji Nian's always considerate attitude towards her. But he felt a little nervous as Ji Nian's chest stuck to his back. Ji Nian also felt the same way, but he acted as if he was ordinary.

Arriving at the palace, Ji Nian went down then helped Xin Qian to get down. Xin Qian thanked Ji Nian for taking her on a horse together. Master Lin saw their arrival and greeted him happily.

"Daughter! You and Ji Nian are back?"

"Grandfather Teacher!"

"Master!"

"Where are the soldiers and horses you ride, Princess?"

"Guru's grandfather, the horse I was riding had slipped by a sharp stone, so that it could not walk. So I went back with Ji Nian and the Soldiers were taking care of the horse."

"Are you hurt?"

"No, Grandpa Master."

"You come in, I'll see the King."

"Good."

"Ji Nian, I'll go to my room."

"All right."

Arriving at the room, Xin Qian laid her body on the bed. Then Zhulong rose to the top of Xin Qian's stomach and sat on top of it. Zhulong told me how much she missed her dead father.

"Zhulong, I'm here with you. I'll always be the place for you to come home." Xin Qian held onto both of Zhulong's cheeks and shook them.

"But I want to see my father's face right now." Zhulong lowered her gaze.

"Do you know, Zhulong? When I miss my mother so much, I always look at the moon. There I must have seen Mother's face smiling at me." Xin Qian stroked Zhulong's fur then turned her gaze outside the window.

"Did you miss him right now?"

"I've always missed him, Zhulong. Every moment, every time, Mother was always on my mind."

"Queen Lieng must be very kind, so to have a good Princess like you."

"Are you hungry? I'll bring you some food."

"No, I'm so tired. I want to take a nap, Xin Qian."

"Sleep."

Zhulong lay beside Xin Qian and closed her eyes. Xin Qian sighed and looked at Zhulong's face for a moment, then closed her eyes.

A few hours later...

Xin Qian again looked towards the window, which turned out to be a lot of fallen tree leaves from her trunk. He opened the door when he heard someone knocking.

"Daughter, I called you from earlier. Why don't you open the door?" ask a Dayang worriedly.

"What the hell is going on?" Xin Qian looked around her.

"Daughter, outside there is a storm attacking this country. The King ordered me to make sure that the Princess is okay."

"Storm?"

"Yes, Princess."

In front of the palace of master Feng and all his disciples gathered. He ordered his disciples to withstand the black storm so as not to head for the palace. Not long after, Xin Qian came over to master Feng.

"Master, how did that storm get into this country?"

"Daughter, that's no ordinary storm. It was a storm sent from a demonic monster. It's called a sunhai storm."

"But, Master. How did the storm get in? While the protective wall of the sky was not scratched one bit."

"I'm of the opinion that there are followers of demonic monsters residing within this land. Since the protective wall of the sky was not broken, it was certain that the culprit was from within."

Master Chen, master Yibo and master Pin came over to them.

"Master Feng, isn't that a sunhai storm? The storm was a storm sent by demonic monsters" said master Pin.

"Right, master Pin," replied master Feng.

"We can't stay silent. We must also help our students to prevent the storm" said Master Yibo.

"I'll go with you guys."

"No, Princess! You're not going with us." Master Chen prevented Xin Qian from coming along.

"But why?"

"The storm is so dangerous, we won't let you go with us" replied master Pin.

The masters left Xin Qian alone. He was looking for his father as well as master Lin, because he had not seen them from earlier.

"Chairman, this storm is very difficult to control" said one of Ji Nian's friends who tried to hold the storm.

"We must be able to withstand this storm, otherwise this storm will destroy the life of the Peacelavia." Ji Nian also tried to withstand the storm that was almost in front of the palace gate.

The strength of the storm grew bigger and made them all fall down. The storm made its way to the palace door and made the objects around it fly away.

Xin Qian looked at the objects outside the flying window and was bobbing, she instantly remembered the gemstone.

He thought it could be that this sunhai storm was deliberately sent so that people in the palace would be off guard and the person who sent this storm could take the gemstone freely.

Xin Qian headed straight for the gemstone-stored room. There it turned out that there was already the king of Arlo and master Lin who was strengthening the protective seal of the gemstone.

"Yahanda! Grandpa Master!"

"Xin Qian, what are you doing here?"

"Yahanda, I'm sure soon someone will enter this room to pick up the gemstone."

"Guru also thinks so. Xin Qian, Grandpa Master and your Father must strengthen the protective seal of the gemstone."

"I'll join the petrification to strengthen the gemstone seal."
