Chapter 4 Live For Us

Tension can be seen as soon as the dinner started. No one was talking as if it's just nothing, but a normal dinner. "You're lucky that you're sister is here. Your work will not pile up." The King said as he eats his meals.

"Luan, you must help your sister. It's been a while since you're missing and I don't want you to go outside ever again. I will tell the guards to tighten the security." He wipes his mouth as he looks at Luan.

"You must be tired from coming all the way in here. The fact that you were living with those savages makes me think if you turn like one." Her father said as he chuckles.

"They're not savages. They're my companions." Luan said as she just keeps on piercing her food. "Companions are the ones with great power and mind, Luan. The one who has a value. That's what a companion is."

"You only see them as a tool, Your Majesty. Don't compare Luan to you." Lian stands up as she looks at her sister.

"You removed her freedom that's why she left. I'm done. I'm going back to my room." It hurts for him to see his daughter treats him that way.

The way he treated her back then. And how he remembers that woman from that child.. He just realize..

That he was going overboard to his own child.

The King. Who looks like in his 50's stands up as he goes in Luan's place and sits in Lia's chair. "You shouldn't copy your sister's attitude."

"More like you should be a good father to her."

"To us. And then, we'll learn how to respect you." Luan's dead eyes meet the eyes of her father. "You can't blame me. She reminds me of that woman. It was a mistake-"

"Loving a person wasn't a mistake. Creating a child with love wasn't a mistake. The child WASN'T just a mistake."

"You loved her more than you love my mother. Because of your jealousy, Lian's mother died."

"She thought I was special. But you just want to distract yourself from the fact that my sister reminds you of your lover."

"I envy her for many years. I never think that we're just the same with a different story. You rejected her as your daughter, and you're searching for me because my mother is the queen."

"And you can't make Lian as the Queen since she came from that concubine, and you're scared that all nobles will talk about how you choose her than the Queen's daughter."

"Right, father?"

"From the start, it was all for your good image. I wished I was never been a princess. Those people who you called savages treats me better than this stupid palace of yours."

Luan stands up as she walks away from her father. She said what she wanted to say. As the king's face, doesn't look good.

Being able to say her feelings cools her down as if she's very happy for what she just said. After all, they taught her to be expressive. Whatever she's feeling is. If it's anger, sadness, confusion, and etc. It must be shared with each other.

She goes to her room as she looks in every corner. It was all changed. With her favorite color, Blue.

She sighs as she opens the veranda. Every night Yu will checked her as she will give her a coffee to drink. They will talk about how nice to build their own mansion and to start a life with no crimes included.

Yi will always tease her as soon as she wokes up. Zu and Jia will always fight or shout in each other because of their different perspective in things, and Sun will always bet on who's gonna be the winner for today.

Just thinking about those things makes her chuckles. It's just hours since they're apart and it feels like it's a year already.

"So this is what it feels like to get attached to someone."

As she couldn't sleep, she decided to write a letter to send them. On her first day to the palace and how she expresses her emotions to her father and how the chains in her heart vanished after talking to her sister.

She stretches her arms as soon as she finished. It was late at night, but she can wait for the morning. In fact, she can release their punishment by making them as a knight in the castle or maybe hire them as her personal attendees.

But all of her excitement vanished as soon as she wakes up in the morning. As she ordered the maid to deliver the letter, she heard a news that makes her rush for her to see.

"STOP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! LET THEM GO! THIS IS AN ORDER FROM YOUR PRINCESS!"

She looks at them as the knights stop her from walking up stairs.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!"

But they all smiled at her for the last time. As if they were telling her that it's ok and they deserve the punishment. Although the truth is, they're scared that it might be the last time that they could see her.

The happy times and the memories they shared together, will remain as a memory. "Live for us." Is what they were trying to say to her.

She looks at them as she breakdown. As soon as her knees weakened, The blade fell down as their head was sent off.

As soon as the execution was finished, she gets the knight's sword as she slit his throat. Citizen, who watched the princess killed people, run for their lives.

Some of them have escaped and some of was sent to hell for next living. It didn't satisfy her as she's craving for more.

She goes straight to the palace, looking like a psychopath who wears nothing, but blood.

As soon as she saw her father, she never doubted to approach him. Raising her sword, wanting to kill her father.. Luan Xiu Jiu's head was sent flying.
