The Last Queen of Peacelava

CHAPTER 77

Lu Xiang was now preparing the arrows he would bring to fight against Allen as well as his demon followers.

Lian, Yu Fei and Ji Nian also came while carrying their respective swords.

"Master Lu Xiang, is Master sure we will go to that demon palace now?" ask Yu Fei.

"I can't wait too long. Xin Qian desperately needs our help there," Lu Xiang replied without looking at Yu Fei's face.

"Uncle, I don't understand why Uncle cares so much about my Mother. Uncle looks very worried about him." Lian walked over to Lu Xiang.

"Lu Xiang, why don't you be honest if you're actually Zhang Pei. Why pretend like this?" asked Ji Nian who looked a little upset.

Lu Xiang simply smiled without answering any questions from Ji Nian. Lu Xiang then invited the good demons to follow him.

"Ji Nian, why do you always think that Lu Xiang's master is Zhang Pei? Who is Zhang Pei?" yu Fei asked curiously.

"Zhang Pei is the lover of Her Majesty the Queen. Not only me, but Her Majesty the Queen is also very confident that she is Zhang Pei, not Lu Xiang," Ji Nian replied.

Lian who heard that was even more confused, then she went after Lu Xiang.

"Uncle, may I ask you something?"

"What's up, Lian? Why is your tone like you're suspecting me?"

"Uncle, I don't know what I'm asking this is wrong or right. But if I see, you really care about my mother. Mother also once said that Uncle's face is exactly the same as his lover. Sound, nature, attention and everything. You're exactly with Uncle Zhang Pei."

"So you want to ask who I really am? Are you confused as to why my face and everything inside me is so similar to your mother's lover?"

"Yes, Uncle."

"Lian, I am indeed Zhang Pei. I purposely disguised myself as Lu Xiang."

"But why did Uncle do this?"

"Because of love. I love your mother so much, and I don't want the past to ruin her life. I think with me being someone else, I can start all over again. But the enemies of the past still come to avenge."

"Uncle, I really didn't expect it if it turned out that you were a man that Mother loved so much."

"Lian, you now know the truth. I want you to be who you really are."

"What does Uncle mean?"

"You must use the gemstone that is inside your body to save your mother."

"But, Uncle. How can I do that?"

Lu Xiang then explained what Lian had to do later when she met Allen and his troops.

"Lian, Master, what are you talking about?"

"We're not talking about anything."

"Better we go now."

"All right."

*******

Li Guan was now sitting beside Xin Qian while carrying food and drinks for her.

"Why do you always come to see me? I don't want you to give me any more hope."

"If I don't give you hope, you must have hope."

"You must believe that someone you love and love you so much will come and take you away."

"Why do you always think that way about me? I've said many times that I'm not the same as Allen."

"But I don't trust you at all. You and Allen are the same. Even if there's a difference between the two of you, someone like me won't see it because I don't care."

"Listen to me. You should eat the food I've brought you."

"I don't want to eat it."

"You should listen to me! Your life would be in vain if you only expected your death to take place quickly."

"Why? Why do you always give me hope and passion?"

"Because my lover used to die at Allen's hands. The fate is the same as yours."

Xin Qian's countenance changed after hearing Li Guan's statement.

"I couldn't save her, because I couldn't betray my best friend."

"Li Guan, do you know if you've made a mistake? You've let your loved ones die at the hands of your own friends."

"I know I made a big mistake. I can't even forgive myself."

"Li Guan, you're a king. You should be able to strongly oppose Allen's decision. But why don't you want to do it?"

"Because half of my heart belongs to Allen. If I oppose it, then I'll make half my heart die."

"But Allen never thought of you one bit."

"You're wrong. You're still alive today because Allen obeyed my wishes. If I don't ask him to let you live, you may no longer be able to breathe the air in this world."

"Li Guan, I really don't understand."

"Now I'll make you understand."

"When two friends made a pact with a demon monster, then they had to sacrifice something to the demon monster. And we asked that we be inseparable, we asked that we be together no matter what. At that time the demon monster asked for half of our hearts. Then we gave it to him so we could always be together."

"It's very absurd. You're doing all of this for evil demons like Allen."

"You have no idea how I struggle to survive the cruel humans. Allen came and gave me a brotherly life. Since then we became friends and promised to always be together."

"Li Guan ...."

"Xin Qian, you must have a bond like me and Allen. If not as a friend, maybe as a lover."

"Yes, but that bond doesn't apply to me. My beloved has left me, and I have no friends. I don't know what it's like to have a best friend, Li Guan."

"Do you believe in love?"

"Of course."

"I don't know if I'll get the love I used to. Allen's lover had also left him."

"Li Guan, everyone has love in their heart. And I'm also sure, despite Allen's cruel nature, he must still have love in his heart."

"Xin Qian, eat a little. I don't want you to get weaker. If you want to get out of this place, you have to manage your powers."

Without them knowing, it turns out Allen had been listening to the conversation between the two of them.

Actually what Xin Qian thought about Allen was true. Allen still had love in his heart.

And it turns out that Allen loved Xin Qian all along. Allen was actually in love with Xin Qian the first time he saw Xin Qian.

Back then Rong Peng was still alive and there was no way he could have said that he loved Xin Qian. Because Rong Peng threatened to kill Li Guan who was his best friend if Allen dared to betray Rong Peng.
