"It's obviously a trap." Zong Chen announced beside Feng Zhiwei. "Fire, blood, and Prince Helian's mother… running so freely. Clearly the enemy is baiting Prince Helian across the river."
"Do you think the Queen is foolish or clever?" Feng Zhiwei replied, a strange smile on her lips. "After such an uproar, even an idiot would understand that something was wrong. As long as Helian Zheng is not a pig, he will not cross."
"If she stayed quiet and refused to lure Helian Zheng across, the Golden Roc Tribe would use her to blackmail the Prince." Zong Chen realized, smiling quietly. "The Golden Roc Tribe do not understand yet, but when they do, the Queen will be in danger."
Feng Zhiwei turned to examine Helian Zheng. The man stood in the dark night, his hands clasped and his back to the river, still and motionless.
