She Prince

Spreading his legs ChengLi’s eyes darts in all directions to capture a glimpse of the position of the soldiers around him, he cuts a path of blood in the field slicing through the weak brittle armour. Stepping aside he quickly slides forward and cuts at the arm of a soldier who ran forward to attack him. Pushing the spears away with his sword he stabs him making the blood whoosh out flowing to the white stones on the ground of the yard. FengLei backs away and assumes their stance, taking the offensive he feints an over head stab at the person in front of him making him fall over instantly.

“ChengLi,” HenYu screams when his eyes catches a soldier throwing his spear to the direction where ChengLi is busy with the ones in front of him, HenYu jumps forward as there were no much distance between them as ChengLi tries to cover up HenYu who was about to be defeated.

HenYu pushes ChengLi to a side, he tries to move away but his body stiffens when he feels the cold blade get into his muscles causing blood to gush out. His legs turn wobbly immediately which makes him to lose control of his body, he drops to the ground coughing he spit out blood.

“H… n,” ChengLi stutters his chin trembles not being able to talk as terror rised up to his throat, he crawls forward lifting his body with his shaky hands as great tremor overtakes him. He taps on Henyu’s cheek who’s weak eyes are open a little, HenYu opens his mouth his lips apart trying to speak but couldn’t form any words, he lets out a dry sound from his throat abruptly his heavy breaths stops.

“No, no…,” ChengLi taps on his cheek faster with his blood stained hand, his actions freeze finally realising the truth, placing his right palm on Henyu’s cheek he rubs it slowly in circular motion, he begins to chew on to his lower lip when his eyes wells up with tears.

Feng Lei stops his actions when the large gate opens forcefully with a loud noise his soldiers march in surrounding the soldiers of Wen Kingdom the slashes of the blades halts, all of them stands in the position of ready to attack as both the group of people are waiting for the command of their masters.

“I’ve got many soldiers yet you all couldn’t kill him,” Lord Wen yells aloud “But,” his gaze moves back to Feng Lei “Nothing can destroy me,” he laughs maniacally while Feng Lei tries to understand what he means, his eyes widens when he sees Ms Cheng in the hold of a man where he is holding an arrow’s edge close to her neck, he forces her forward.

He gets even shock when he sees two guards holding Master Huang and Wales with their hands behind their back. Feng Lei steps forward his eyes glaring at the intimidating person in front of him.

“Drop your weapon and surrender and no one will be hurt anymore,” Lord Wen demands, the soldier moves the sharp point close to the side Ms Cheng’s neck.

“No! FengLei you…..,” Wales speaks aloud even though his energy is drained from being locked up for more than couple of days without food, Lord Wen slits his throat with his sword before he could complete his sentence.

The grip on Feng Lei’s sword gets tighter his bloodshot eyes never blinked, stepping forward he drops one sword down.

“No.. No FengLei leave,” Ms Cheng cries struggling in the tight grip.

“They will be punished for their sins,” Master Huang spits on Lord Wen’s face who is standing beside him making his blood boil not caring that they are the imperial teachers and someone of the higher authority he cuts off his head mercilessly in rage.

“Drop your weapon and no more blood,” Lord Wen states walking down from the main hall entrance “If you surrender I promise that no one will be hurt,” he continues his eyes never looking away.

“How can I believe you?,”

“I’ve got everything if I take over your kingdom and I’m sure that you will rank first,” his lips spreads to a grin.

“WanKe?,” His voice comes out questions waiting for his answer.

“I said no more blood,” Lord Wen replies emphasizing the word ‘more blood.’

FengLei looks around at the bloodshed, his eyes falls on ChengLi who is holding HenYu which makes his heartbreak, taking a deep breath in he steps forward when the soldier moves the arrow closer to Ms Cheng’s neck causing a drop of blood to flow down her white skin.

“I yield,” FengLei shouts making others startle.

“Take HenYu back,” he orders facing ChengLi who carries HenYu “No, FengLei you shouldn’t,” ChengLi begs walking towards him.

“No more blood,” he repeats the word “I just have a favour from you,” FengLei requests “Take care of WanKe and my mother,” he pleas.

“Don’t do this,” ChengLi steps forward but he tumbles back when the soldiers jump forward pushing him.

“Retreat,” FengLei orders aloud making his soldiers to step back hesitatingly they walk to the gate with heavy heart as they know convincing him won’t work, turning around he drops the sword to the ground getting down on his knees, all the remaining soldiers of Wen Kingdom surrounds him their spears caging him between the weapons even a small movement will make the blade slash his skin.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
