Queen Li Na and her gaurds ran outside following a figure that was jumping off the roofs of the Wu Yue sect palace.

Her eyebrows furrowed as she realized who this person was, she could tell who it was just by this person's long dark hair.

"Murong Chon!" She hissed.

Murong Chon paused, his escape was inevitable and he knows that. So this was it, atleast a war wasn't going to take place.

"Li Na" he said. The royal guards wielded their swords at his neck as soon as he came down from the roof.

Queen Li Na smirked, this fool of a king went ahead to spy on her by himself? Ha such foolishness.

"I expected more from you Murong Chon, the all mighty King of Yaoguang caught in broad daylight spying, to think we used to fear you" she taunted him, her sword gleaming in the rays of the sunset light.

Murong Chon chuckled, a long jagged sword emerged from his sleeve. He looked at Li Na.

"I believe you have been waiting for this moment right? Well here I am, let's go"

Queen Li Na laughed, her laugh mixed with mock and anger.

"Murong Chon, you underestimate me all because I am a woman....very well, if it's a fight you want then you will get it...move!"

As soon as the gaurds moved away from Murong Chon, Queen Li Na charged at him, her sword moving with the speed of light. Murong Chon closed his eyes and swung his sword, the two blades collided with a loud 'ching!'

"I see you never lost your touch" she mocked.

Murong Chon clicked his tongue, he opened his eyes and smirked.

"One cannot lose their touch if they practice everyday" he said making her freeze, those words....she said them just days ago, how could...

"Hahaha you just realized it? Your maid has been my spy all this time, the times you've practiced your swordsmanship she was there with you and she told me what to expect"

"Shut up and fight!"

The swords collided again this time few sparks emerged with each strike, Queen Li Na felt the vein on her forehead twitch, this king was...

"Shameless!" She swong her sword to the opposite direction and Murong Chon ducked.

He tripped her making her fall, the gaurds panicked and held their swords at his neck.

Queen Li Na smirked.

"Give it up, you're surrounded and by the looks of it, you won't survive"

"Ha...is that what you think, look at where my sword is pointing, i don't care if I die as long as you die first"

Queen Li Na gulped, Murong Chon wouldn't that would he? He wouldn't die just so he could kill her at the end right? But this is Murong Chon we're talking about here....he is very unpredictable.

"Murong Chon..."

"I hope you bid your daughter farewell"

His sword pierced her heart making her scream in pain, the guards were shocked for a moment and they attacked him, he dodged and ducked all he could but his escape was already inevitable, more gaurds came to the palace and they were accompanied by Princess Wei Young.

She froze seeing her mother's lifeless body on the ground, she unsheathed her sword and charged towards Murong Chon.

With a swish something fell to the ground, it was an arm.

Murong Chon bit his bottom lip to stop his screams of pain.

"My fight is not with you, you and my mother solved your issues the best way you could, however my fight is with your son, he's planning on taking what's mine and i will not allow that"

Murong Chon laughed, his teeth stained with the blood from his lip.

"Did you know....that Ah Li is with Zhi Ming as we speak? The two have gotten really close"

Her right eye twitched in annoyance and anger, the grip on her sword tightened making her knuckled turn white.

"No matter what he does, a man should be with a woman not another man"

"If you say so...kill me and see what Ah li will do"

She chuckled.

"That weakling? He will never do anything to thhe mighty Queen of Wu Yue sect"

It was Murong Chon's turn to laugh this time, this princess hasn't even grieved for her mother and she took the queen role just like that?

"Your mother just died few minutes ago and you claim yourself as a queen?"

"If she's dead she's dead, I am the queen now"

"If you say so....go ahead...kill me"

She clicked her tongue in annoyance, she put her sword back into it's sheath.

"go tell Murong li that I'm coming for him, this war will happen and we shall see how much he will endure....let him go"

✧══════•❁❀❁•══════✧

General Qing paced back and forth in the forest, he had been instructed to wait until tje king returned and if 40 minutes passed without Murong Chon's presence then he would have to fleet and get Murong li from the Yang Wu palace.

He heard commotion inside the city, panic ran over him as his thoughts ran wild.

Was the king caught?

Suddenly a figure appeared from his left side, blood smeared on his face and his left arm was missing. General Qing froze seeing Murong Chon like this.

"Your highness!" He helped him. Murong Chon chuckled spitting blood on the ground.

"That Wei Young is something else....quick lets go fetch Ah li"

✧══════•❁❀❁•══════✧

Murong li and Zhi Ming were inside Zhi Ming's bedroom, the room had a large bed and a few family potraits.

"Do you like it?" Zhi Ming asked.

"Mn...very  welcoming....are you sure i should be here?"

Zhi Ming frowned, he held Murong li by the shoulders.

"Ah li it's okay, the bed is big enough for the two of us, come, let's sleep it's getting late"

Murong li sighed, this prince was really something else.

"As you wish"

Murong li untied his neat ponytail and let his long hair flow down, he grabbed a wooden comb from his bag and started to smooth out his hair.

Zhi Ming watched him, something inside him stirred up and he doesn't know what it was....

"Let me help you" he said. Before Murong li could even respond Zhi Ming snatched the comb from his hand.

Zhi Ming smiled and ran the comb through the Yaoguang Prince's hair. The scent of coconut very heavy as he was close.

"Zhi Ming...."

"Hmm?"

"Could you....stop sniffing my hair" Murong li said blushing, why was this prince acting strange.

"Ah li..."

"Yes?"

"If i said....if I said i fancy you...how would you react?"

Murong li froze, what was the prince saying.

"Announcing General Qing from Yaoguang" a gaurd said outside. Zhi Ming sighed in disappointment, that could only mean that Ah li was leaving....again.

"Something must've happened to my father, Zhi Ming....we will talk soon...thank you for allowing me to stay here" Murong li said in a hurry and left the room after picking up his bag.

Zhi Ming sighed and sat on the bed, he looked at the comb in his hand and smiled.

"I have your comb so that means you will return....right?"

✧══════•❁❀❁•══════✧

"What happened?" Murong li asked as soon as he came out of the room.

General Qing was confused, why was Murong li inside Zhi Ming's room and why was his hair down, this doesn't look good.

"Your father...he is hurt, he's in the carriage as we speak"

Murong li remained silent. His father was hurt, would he die? He hopes not.

They board the carriage and Murong li gasped seeing his father's state.

"Father"

"Ah li....I'm sorry"

"No need....what happened? Did the war start?"

"No no...it's the work of Wei Young, she said it was a message to you"

Murong li was silent, so this Wei young he never spoke to already hates him? But why?

"General Qing, please give us a moment"
Murong Chon said. The general nodded and got out of the carriage.

Murong Chon turned to his son.

"Ah li...don't be scared"

"I am not scared but rather I am angry, why would you go spy alone?"

The king chuckled.

"I had to...for Yaoguang" he said. He took out his sword from his sleeve.

"I want you to have this, it is not a spiritual sword but it kills with no mercy"

"Father...are you..."

Dying? He refused to finish his question but Murong Chon knew what he meant.

"Yes Ah li...do me a favor"

Murong li took in a shaky breath.

"Anything"

"Prick my finger with the sword"

Murong li was confused but he did as he was told. Murong Chon hissed in pain, a small drop of blood plopped out of his forefinger and he placed it at Murong li's lips.

"....suck on it"

"Father..."

"Please......do it....trust me"

Murong li sighed and opened his mouth, he cringed at the metallic taste.

Murong Chon smiled, his eyes rolled back leaving the whites showing then he whistled a sharp melodic tone making Murong li's ears ring.

Then it was silent, Murong Chon touched his son's cheek.

"My spirit will always lead you my son....Ah li....I can see your father"

A tear flowed down Murong li's cheek.

"Father...."

"Let me go Ah li....let me go"

"I love you"

"I love.....you too"

Due to the extreme loss of blood, the king of Yaoguang, Murong Chon passed away.
