True Empire'S (True Empire)

True Empire's 09th Fighter

In the darkness of the night, not even the moon and the stars appear. As if there was a sign, if tonight there would be a bloody night.

In a residence, precisely in the Orchid Pavilion. The pavilion which had only a few bodyguards and servants, the pavilion which only had a few people to guard the princess, was a silent attack carried out by the hitmen.

Taps…

Taps…

Taps…

Trings…

Slassh…

Slaassh...

Wush…

Aaaggrh…

Bruck…

The sound of footsteps followed by the sound of swinging swords, knives, arrows and hidden spears were put to each other in the follow of the body that collapsed to the ground with severe injuries and some were even lifeless. With bodies filled with plains and also there were arrows and spears accused of them.

"There's intruders! Protect the princess!" shouted one of the soldiers.

The sound of the clanking of swords and the cry of pain were earthy to each other in the silent night.

A black-robed man came from above, flew up and landed onto the ground perfectly. His body shriveled as he slashed the sword at the assassins, the man if seen as if he was not fighting, but it is like dancing a sword dance that is so graceful and beautiful but seems valiant and so deadly.

All the rest of those hitmen died with their necks severed, which was terrifying.

Zee Lin walked out of his room and looked at the situation outside. Looks very chaotic, like a shipwreck with all light objects floating on the water.

But the difference, which was in the Orchid pavilion was the rest of the trap that had destroyed some of the enemies and the bodies of the slayers in a deep pool of blood.

"Are you all right?!" zee Lin asked worried there were casualties from his people.

Hearing the soft voice of their lord, the prajurus saluted on their knees and the servants bowed respectfully.

"We're fine, Princess Royal Highness! There are two wounded soldiers with minor injuries" the soldier leader replied respectfully.

"Thank God no one lost their lives. For the injured immediately call the healer" said Zee Lin feeling relieved that there were no casualties.

Wuss...

Two men flew and landed on the ground. One of the two men was the man who had already helped finish off the rest of the hitmen.

"No need to call a doctor. I've brought people who can treat both soldiers" said the man wearing a black robe.

"Who are you?!" ask ZeeLin beware.

"I can't show my face here. Before, let him treat the two soldiers" said the man in black robes.

"All right, but I need to keep an eye on you!" After all, some of the hit men were finished off by the black-robed man easily.

"Clearly" said the black-robed man without a fuss.

The man wearing white robes immediately treated the two wounded soldiers after moving into the treatment room in the Orchid pavilion.

He meticulously treated the two soldiers painstakingly.

"I didn't expect, if the first princess hired underage soldiers" the white-robed man said in a hoarse voice.

The two soldiers who had finished treating were looking at each other. Then they kowtowed together facing their princess.

"We work as princess soldiers of our own accord, we want to protect the princess who helped us both. We don't want the princess to be blamed for us" one of the young soldiers said in a trembling voice.

"What are you doing! Wake up! You're still hurt" ZeeLin said, not liking anyone to prostrate themselves in front of him except his enemy.

"So" said the man in white robes.

"I'm leaving first" he continued to turn towards the black-robed man and was nodded by the man.

After the white robed man died a moment of silence.

"I still don't know what your names are" ZeeLin said slowly.

"The servant's name is Yan Luo, and the servant's sister is Yan Lu" Yan Luo said.

ZeeLin's body stiffened slightly hearing the name of the two. He remembered his grandfather and father. A tear fell without her noticing.

Before anyone else saw him, the black-robed man quickly carried ZeeLin into his arms.

"What are you....!" zeelin said with the words stuck in her throat.

"You go!" the man ordered coldly.

The two soldiers came out of the treatment room, leaving two different types of people.

"Did you miss Grandpa Luo?" ask the man slowly.

"You?.... Brother Xuan?!"

"It's me! Your Xuan, Ze'er" Haocun further tightened his embrace.

"I miss both of them" said ZeeLin softly but could still be heard.

Haocun just scrunched his forehead not saying anything, letting his lover continue his words.

"I miss my grandfather and my father"

ZeeLin sobbed softly as he recalled his father's whisper before stabbing him that time.

"What's up Ze'er? Why are you crying?!"

With the release of a hug on the girl, he cupped the two cheeks of the girl who was wet with tears.

"I remember when my father was kicked out with my grandfather, I was there with my father and mother. Dad is treating heart disease suffered by mom. Every time your heart hurts, you always show a worried and scared face." ZeeLin began to explain his past in a light and with tears coming out endlessly.

"At that time, my mother asked me to leave her room. After I came out, I heard a commotion in the room, my father and mother had a fight. And only once did I hear Dad yell at mom. I decided to stay out the door. Do you know what made them fight so hard for the first time?"

ZeeLin took a deep breath, her chest felt tight, though not as painful as when she felt something was sapping her heart.

"Dad was furious when mom said to end her life. The mother assumes that, he will die sooner or later, and the pain that plagues the mother's heart, gets worse. Mothers... Di-a's... Saying pa-da a-yah to dad... Gave him ra-cun.. Hix"

Haocun took ZeeLin into his arms. He knew very well if the girl was very sad. He also just found out, if the death of his lover's mother was due to the request of his own mother! it wasn't her father who intentionally killed her mother!

"Dad, of course, refused and did not want to give her what she wanted. Not only are you good at medicine, but you're also great at making deadly poisons. When Dad was about to leave the room, I immediately hid, but I did not hide far from my father and mother's room"
