The Princess And The Lord

The sudden bright light has shocked everyone in Yun Dao city especially everyone at Snaguan manor because the place is the closest to the light source, Sanguan family and their subordinated march to the front gate to see what happened, their movement was pause by the sudden purple bright light, only after the light is gone they y finally snapped back and run to the gate. In front of the gate, Sanguan Wu Ci's step stops abruptly.

In front of him, Long Ming carries his unconscious wife carefully as he looks down with grief while Long Ming companion surrounded him with worry face and their attention fixed on the unconscious lady, none of them care about the sanguan family presence.

"She unconscious again, what should we do?" Ming Yue Ying helplessly said she is struggling to swallow her cry.

"She'll be alright, she always does," Jin Hao said although he is not confident with his own words, but he convinces himself that Lory would prevail, she should be alright?

"Yes, she will – she not like us, she's special, you said it yourself" Yang Xi Ying holds Ming Yue Yin hand tightly, she only has little understanding about Lory's condition but she is hopeful, Lory will be fine.

Sanguan Wu Ci didn't know what happened but his heart wrenched when he saw Lory's body not moves 'Is she okay?' he wants to check Lory's condition with his own eyes but he realizes it would be unreasonable, they not even close.

On the other hand sanguan, Liu Wei, and Sanguan Jin Sheng feel a surged of bad premonition, Zhao Li Xin lifts his head, he stares coldly t the Sanguan family "I want Lao Min Na head in three days or our deal off" without waiting for a response Zhao Li Xin turn around and left, Sanguan Liu Wei and Sanguan Jin Sheng expression stiffed, they not expected Long Ming would threat them openly.

Zhao Li Xin sends his warning if the sanguan family kill Lao Min Na people would think they fear Long ming but if they don't know one knows what long Ming do with the old map, at this moment Sanguan Jin Shen cursed Lao Min Na, it was all her fault, why she make trouble with Long Ming all the time!

In the middle of the forest, a figure appears, Lao Min Na panting heavily and her heartbeat rapidly it feel like her heart burst from her chest, she leans her body on the tree trunk as the pain in her chest increasing. other than her chest a waved of pain run through her right arms, she shoves her sleeves from her arm and she was stunned, her hand is toast like an overcook meat, her hand is swelling the skin turns black and red, Lao Min Na eyes widen in shock but the corner of her lips suddenly lifted.

"The power of the first king is no joke, he's not even fully awake his power yet, tck – tck what a troublesome existance you are Zhao Li Xin" Lao Min Na who still possessed by Lazarus smirk viciously.

Only one of her eyes turns into snake eyes while the others remain as human eyes, it means she still not completely taken over.

"What do you want, kill him?" this time Lao Min Na speaks with her own voice.

"Stupid little woman, Zhao Li Xin is very important to me, he is the key to my demise but he also the key of my salvation, without him I'm incomplete" The icy voice of Lazarus return, the body contains two souls one submissive the other is dominant if Lazarus wants it he could eat Lao Min Na body and take over her body as easy as taking candy from a baby but Lazarus still need her – at least for now.

Lao Min Na's body could contain the soul of Lazarus for to long, her body starts to jolt and twisted and the excruciating pained slowly devour her, she cried in agony and she fall on the ground on her knees, the extreme pained make her nail scratch the ground in frenzy.

"Min Na where are you! Miss Lao!" Yang Qiong Yang search for Lao Min Na frantically, he doesn't know what happened but one thing is certain, Lao Min Na needs his help. He always admired Lao Min Na beauty and intelligent however he realizes that he is not the man that she wants, he is not the man who could give her the world and help her soared to the sky so Yang Qiong Yang hides his feeling, he cannot be her husband but at least as subordinated he could stay with her.

Even until today e is not sure if his feeling is only admiration or love but the one thing is certain that he always wants to be close to her. Yang Qiong Yan managed to escape from Yuan Shao clutch when their attention is drawn to Long Ming's wife, he is not sure what he had seen at that time but he can't leave Lao Min Na alone.

He rides his flying beast to search for Lao Min Na he sighs in relief when he found her inside the forest "Are you alright?" he held her shoulder trying to help her to sit properly.

"Why are you here?" Lao Min Na lowers her head in total remorse.

"Of course, I would be here – I'm here for you" he softly said.

Lao Min Na lift shakes her head profusely " You should not be here…."

"Min Na, I….."

Lao Min Na slowly lifts her head the yellow snake eyes glow like a burning ember.

Yang Qiong Yan was stunned, his heart feel uneasy he looks at Lao Min Na and stammers "What….what happened with you"

"I'm sorry…." Slowly she widely opens her mouth, inside her throat, there's a pair of glowing yellow eyes immerged. His body went cold with dread as the pair of glowing eyes got bigger and closer, Yang Qiong yang body shiver in fear, the snake out of Lao Min Na mouth, the creature squint his eyes towards him and hissed in creepy sounds.

"No – please no" his voice is tick with fear, he wants to run but his body refuses to listen to him. Suddenly the snake opens its jaws than the creature insert to his mouth in one quick move, Yang Qiong Yang doesn't even have time to flinch before fall on the ground chocking as the big snake enter his body, the only thing he can hear is the sound of his jaw breaking.

His hands try to stop the snake but it was futile, one hand clenched on his own throat while his other hand wave in the air wildly trying to grasp anything for help.

Lao Min Na couldn't bear to see it she turned her cheek and shut her eyes tightly, her voice is shrill with terror when her subordinated was torture in front of her.

If only she choose death at that time everything would end quickly and less pained…..

"Are you awake?"

Lory long eyelashes fluttering before she slowly opens her eyes, the purple iris moist slightly as she blink a few times. She looks beside her bed and smiles "Father…"

Marcus takes a sit at the bedside with a mug in his hand "Hot choco with cinnamon and marshmallow courtesy from Fred of course, your dinner" he handed the mug, Lory received it with a soft giggle.

She takes a sip and her face beamed "Sweet" she mutter.

"Just like you" Marcus patted her head dotingly.

Lory's face reddened slightly, it's embarrassing to be spoiled at her age but she loved it, a daughter would always be a daddy little girl, isn't it? Lory looks around her, the white and blue room with slight purple color, turn out she is in her royal palace bedroom. The room is way too big even the grand white piano seems small when it place inside the room.

"You pushed yourself again huh" Marcus raised her brows with a knowing expression.

"I'll be fine" she casually shrugs.

"You make everyone worry though" he reprimands her gently.

"I know…I don't mean to" Lory lower her head feeling sorry and guilty.

Marcus sighs heavily "I know" he stroke her head again "You don't have no other choice isn't it?"

Lory bobbed her head "Father do you ever make a terrible mistakes but even so you don't want to change anything" she peers to Marcus worriedly.

"Well…." Marcus crossed her arms on his chest and tilt his head "As matter a fact I have plenty" he smiles solemnly.

"You do?" Lory asks in doubt.

"Of course, which human who had no regret in their life" Marcus chuckle when he saw her cute reaction "Whenever we choose something we deemed to give up another thing, some is good, some is bad, is that a right thing to do or is it wrong, we never know not until everyone lay their card on the table"

"Human is not as smart as we think we are, we are clueless creature, the only thing we can do the right thing is by making mistake when you think about it, it sounds stupid isn't it?" Marcus grinned widely.

Lory giggles "Yes it does" Lory pursed her lips then she takes another sip of hot choco, she looks at Marcus again "But…when I do bad things even though I know I'm wrong, is that make me evil…?"

"Evil? No, you are not evil…..you just human, like the rest of us" Marcus poke Lory nose in jest "And when you make mistake, just fixed it, spend your given time to fix your mistake, one by one just like any other human being"

Lory stifles then she nods obediently "I guess you right…" Lory finishes her hot choco then smacked her lips. She stares at Marcus's handsome face "What about you, father, is there anything you want to fix?" she make cheeky smiles.

Marcus let out a long sigh then smiles warmly "If I could fix one thing, I wished I say 'I love you' more often to you and Lucas"
