Gao Ling looked at the place he patted and felt embarrassed, it was way too close, "I.. I.. I.." she stammered as her soft voice breezed.
Eagle sat up as he suddenly held her hand and drew her down onto his lap.
"Aaahh.." she yelped out in surprise.
He held her waist before placing her down beside him.
Gao Ling quietly sat down and didn't turn around to look at him.
"Accompany me here." His low and magnetic voice spoke out as he laid down on the ground and looked at the sky.
She sat there rigidly without speaking out any word and watched the sky as the stars shone brightly.
Eagle stretched out one of his hand, "you can use my hand as a pillow." He looked at her tranced daze.
Gao Ling looked at Eagle before shyly lying down on his hand.
"You were snoring earlier on, what happened to you? Why can't you sleep?" He worriedly inquired.
" Nothing, I just felt like watching the stars." She shyly responded.
" Oohhh.." he nodded his head and closed his eyes to relax enjoying the Jasmine scent and the warm breeze.
They quietly enjoyed one another's company as they watched the bright sky.
In the Dragon Kingdom, the Dragon King arrived down in the Yanxi Palace accompanied by Ministers.
They walked straight into the room which looked dipilated.
"My King.." the man who was laying on the bed crippled exclaimed is surprise as he tried to sit up and show respect to the King, but he was unable to.
Minister Tu approached him and tried to comfort him not to necessarily pay respect as he was incapable of.
"Yes, you don't need to aggravate your injuries, just tell me what happened." The king stood next to the bed.
" First Prince and many of my fellow soldiers were guarding at the Eastern borders, the monsters attacked us and we defended, but the Prince didn't fight back but stood aside and watched us as he commanded."
" When he saw the fight was intense, he just said he will reward everyone who fights the monsters and defends the borders as he was the King's favorite, he would give them many incentives."
" When he saw the monsters were winning and no one could be able to defend the borders, he got onto his horse and rode away without looking behind, leaving us there to perish."
" This isn't the first time that he had done this, he always makes the soldiers do his work and if they die in the course of duty, he claims their merits or if they finish their missions, he kills them and claim their merits."
His eyes watered as he narrated, he couldn't explain the anguish in which his fellow soldiers lost their lives and the bitterness of being left to defend for their lives.
"So are you the only survivor?" The king didn't believe him that much.
" Nope, other soldiers ran to the Wonderland Realm, I don't know if they survived the magical forest." He replied politely, he didn't care if the King believed him or not but he wouldn't want the first Prince be guaranteed the rights to rule the Kingdom.
"My King, that's purely slander!" A commanding voice sounded from the entrance door.
All the ministers and advisers who were in the house turned around to look at the incoming person.
The King frowned after hearing that voice and knew who it belonged to.
"My Queen.." they all bowed their heads in respect.
"I already said don't get yourself involved in governing matters and neither are you allowed to get out your chambers, so what are you doing here?" He questioned her coldly without even sparing her a single look.
"How can I stay still when I hear someone is slandering my son?" She retorted back coldly before approaching the King and stood next to him.
The man that laid in bed was weak and pale, his clothes were very simple and that if cheap cotton material.
His long hair just laid there untied, his eyes were sunken and looked hollow.
"How do you know that it's slander and not true? How do you know that I came here?" He eyed her as his eyes narrowed dangerously.
" I.." she thought of how to explain herself as she opened her mouth and closing it surprised.
" Guards, take the Queen back to her chambers and guard her tightly, she isn't allowed to go anywhere." He issued that command without having a second thought.
"My King..." She nervously called but the King raised his hand and signalled the guards to take her away.
"Get the first Prince to come to the Mental Cultivation Hall, Guards; make sure this entire courtyard is tightly watched and guarded." He gave those orders before stomping out if the house and went back to the Mental Cultivation Hall.
The advisers and ministers tagged behind him nervously.
Fei, Xie and Wu Xue who were eating sensed that something was wrong, many soldiers were placed around their courtyard guarding it tightly.
"Why are there so many soldiers?" Wu Xue worriedly mumbled as she frowned.
I think it's about the earlier shooting." Fei spoke out as he looked at the soldiers surrounding them with their armors.
"Could the King be this generous?" She snorted coldly as she leaned back on the chair leisurely and her glossy lips pursed in annoyance no understanding what the King is upto.
"Of course he is afraid of Lin Wei, if something happens while you are here, he will definitely be held countable." Fei looked at Wu Xue, her actions were cute and funny.
" All right, let's go and train archery then since there are so many soldiers guarding us." She roughly pushed the chair back with her legs before stomping out to the training grounds.
"Sure." Did tagged behind her with Fei as they walked to the training grounds.
The maids cleared the table before they began cleaning the entire place.
The soldiers tagged behind them protectively.
Reaching the training grounds, Wu Xue picked up a bow and some arrows before they began practicing.
