The Last Queen of Peacelava

Chapter 15

Ji Nian looked at the claw marks on Xin Qian's arm, he was worried and directly grabbed Xin Qian's hand.

"What happened to your arm, Princess?"

"It's okay. It's just a small wound."

"Has Rong Peng done this to you?"

"true."

"What does he really want?"

"Ji Nian, he used to love my father very much, but not with Father. I loved my mother and made her Queen."

"So, Rong Peng came here for revenge?"

"really. He might not be here anymore, but he said that he would come back."

"Daughter, no matter what happens I will always be there for you. I'll always protect you."

Ji Nian again grabbed Xin Qian's hand and placed it on her chest. Zhang Pei saw the romantic moment when he accidentally passed through Ji Nian's slightly open room.

"Daughter, do you feel it?"

Xin Qian felt Ji Nian's heart beating fast. Xin Qian quickly removed her hand from Ji Nian's chest.

"Ji Nian, I-you must rest. I'm going out."

As he opened his door wide, Xin Qian faced Zhang Pei head-on. Ji Nian's face instantly changed when he saw Zhang Pei and Xin Qian staring at each other.

"Zhang Pei, since when are you here?"

"I was just passing by and I saw you here."

"You don't want to see Ji Nian?"

"He doesn't even like to see my face. I don't think I need to see him."

"I want to thank you, because yesterday you helped me."

"I'm glad I could help you, Princess."

"You're carrying an arrow. Are you going to practice archery?"

"Yes. Do you like archery?"

"I've never tried it."

"really?"

Xin Qian nodded.

"What if I teach you how to shoot?"

"I ...."

"No need to worry, it's not that hard."

"alright. I'll come with you to learn archery."

Zhang Pei closed the door of Ji Nian's room and looked at Ji Nian with a cold smile. His smile was as if mocking Ji Nian who was unable to go with Xin Qian's daughter.

Zhang Pei took Xin Qian to the training ground where there were many bows and arrows. Zhang Pei took one of the bows and arrows and gave it to Xin Qian.

"Daughter, has your arm improved?"

"My arms are better."

"I'm sorry if I forced you to do this exercise."

"All right then."

Zhang Pei gave an example of how to slide an arrow with a bow. Xin Qian was amazed as Zhang Pei's arrow stuck right at the number ten. Zhang Pei then asked Xin Qian to give it a try.

Zhang Pei saw the position of Xin Qian's hand was wrong, he then approached Xin Qian and stood behind her.

Zhang Pei held onto Xin Qian's two hands and pulled out his arrows. Xin Qian felt a little awkward because back then her position was very close to Zhang Pei.

"Why does my heart always throb when I'm close to the Princess?" inner Zhang Pei.

The arrow shot and stuck in the number 8. Their position still remained the same, then Xin Qian slightly pushed Zhang Pei.

"Pardon me."

"It's okay. Let's just continue the exercise."

*****

King Arlo and his soldiers have reached the countryside. They took down the food they brought and distributed it to the people.

They were all grateful to the king, but they also complained that some of the houses they lived in collapsed due to the storm.

King Arlo assures them that everything will be fine, he will help his people to rebuild their homes.

"His Majesty the King, how could the demon Rong Peng enter this country? Didn't the masters have protected the sky using protective spells?" ask one of the people.

"Look up on you! In the sky was still a protective spell, the protective spell was not broken at all. Most likely Rong Peng had been hiding in this land before we cast a protective spell on the sky." The King explained.

"Most importantly at this time we must always be vigilant. If there is someone suspicious, tell us immediately," replied master Lin Yang.

THE HAVOCIA STATE

A tall man wearing black hanfu was leaning against a tree. He was Jiang Li, the adopted son of king Wang Shu who was notoriously handsome but extremely cruel. It has half human and half demon blood.

Every good demon in the country will be made as a servant. He also treated them very badly.

He even employed demons to build a lake near the palace in 20 days without giving him food or drink.

Although notoriously cruel, Jiang Li had also shed tears when one of his servants died. All the good demons cried to see the death of their friend.

Wang Shu who replaced Father Jiang Li. Wang Shu taught how important power and power are. Wang Shu continued to poison Jiang Li's mind until he became a very cruel person.

Wang Shu actually did not care much about Jiang Li's life, he only utilized Jiang Li to help him achieve his goals.

But Jiang Li believed Wang Shu's lies. He thought Wang Shu loved him very much as a child.

He always obeyed every command given by Wang Shu, because he thought everything Wang Shu did was for his good.

"Jiang Li!" call Wang Shu who is standing in front of him.

"Yahujana?" Jiang Li bowed in respect.

"Jiang Li, your Aunt Rong Peng has lost against a knight from Peacelavia while trying to retrieve the gemstone."

"Bad! How could Aunt Rong Peng be defeated by that knight? How strong is he?"

"Yahanda, I will come to that land and destroy everything that is in it."

"Jiang Li, I'm sure that you won't stay silent after hearing this. But you can't be rash like this."

"But Father, Aunt Rong Peng had failed to retrieve the first stone. I have to go and take back what's supposed to be ours."

"Jiang Li's! Before you go to the land of Peacelavia, you must prepare yourself well. The Knights of Peacelavia are very powerful, and the Crown Princess is our main target. We have to take him down first."

"Why should he and not Arlo, Father?"

"Listen to me, Jiang Li! Xin Qian was Arlo's future successor. She is famous as a girl who is good at tactics and magic. I've also heard she can make someone feel pain without having to touch her."
