Chapter no. 38
(G.o.dly Prince Wu Moying's POV)
Sometimes people are born without wanting to live their intended lives. Some took their lives for granted and some sacrifice theirs because they deem it unworthy. The future is always unpredictable. I am Wu Moying, son of the heavenly emperor, eldest among my brothers and destined to be the next emperor of the Northern Moon Kingdom. When I was young an oracle revealed a prophecy, where the race of the G.o.ds and the demons fought for the succeeding survival of their kind. Immortality, it is the objective to stay alive in this world and death is a resting word.
My brothers and I were b.a.s.t.a.r.d sons of the previous sky emperor. Sons to the common enemy, and our mother the G.o.ddess of the Moon bestowed the curse. Humanity was born when the sinners are doomed to lose their powers. As I stare on a pair of hands in front of me, I remember the night that everyone who opposes perish without names on their tombstones. I have ruled with hatred, and the reason I live is for vengeance.
A war is going to start soon and I need to keep my people safe. Time is limited and we need Minfeng
"Have they returned?" I asked as I remember that the Qin clan's third miss set out and travel towards the mountains
"They're still on their way your highness, according to Juju they are on the darkest part of the forest. Our men can easily catch them if your highness wants"
"I only need Qin clan's young miss" I need Minfeng to get married to the Obsidian princess as soon as I catch her and bring her back to her kingdom
"But your highness we have a problem, there are two young misses. The third miss Qin Zetian and the fourth miss Qin Weishen."
"Two young misses?"
"Yes your highness, according to the registry there are four daughters and four sons in the household."
"Take the daughter from the main house"
Then I remembered, the little girl who hugged the older one. She must be the lost princess, but I cannot take any action to raise the suspicion of the kingdoms. I sighed, the battle between Indigo Valley Kingdom and Moon Kingdom has started and it won't end any soon. And the Obsidian Kingdom shut its door.
I wonder how we'll survive, we cannot call help from the Sky Kingdom knowing how much it lacks the capacity to defend itself. We only have this continent and that h.e.l.lish kingdom to count on. I chuckled, if I we can get the princess back we will win the Obsidian Kingdom's support and the alliance between Moon, Sky and Obsidian Kingdoms will be established.
I stood and walked out of the manor. The manor beside us is heavily guarded and its true there's nothing ordinary inside. All of them relies on their own individual power. Even the madame of the household has ties with other kingdoms. It's no wonder that they have the princess, but how did it happen?
The carriage was ready. I entered and sat on the red chair, drawing my sword from the scabbard. I will battle against anyone who stands in my way if I needed to. We treaded on the wide road of darkness towards the forest.
