It wasn't exaggerated statement to say the kingdom of Zodasian wouldn't last for long time without a support from Azura's kingdom.
Zodasian Kingdom was the country where Crescent Dew clan resided, this clan was killing for wealth and even rule their own area as if they owned that place.
If it wasn't for Black Sword Clan from Azura have been sending their member to suppress the Crescent Dew Clan power, Zodasian Kingdom would be no more.
That Kingdom would be the first Kingdom that vanished before Xinghe.
The influence of Black Sword Clan was amazing, this clan didn't only act as military backbone for Azura Kingdom, but also has a big role in politics in other countries.
If it wasn't for the secret agreement between the predecessor of Royal Family and predecessor Black Sword Clan, their clan would have ruled Azura.
And Li Yiren was not a fool to not realize about this fact, but because this was a fact, thus she was tongue tied without having any words to retort Qianru's statement.
In the other hand, after saying those words, Qianru felt silence, because while her words were true, Xiao Jun and her situation weren't any better.
In the middle area, Meng Yi Ran showed off her capability. Her yellow dress was so dazzling under the ray of sun and her cherry lips tugged upward into a pompous smiled.
She took a long bow from a guard and was assuming the shooting position, nocked an arrow as she aimed the target.
The arrow hurled with incredulous speed before it stop right at the target with slightly quivered. Despite Meng Yi Ran's arrow didn't exactly impaled in the center of the target, Li Yiren, Zhao Tianqi and Ji Yunshu congratulated her in delicate manner as if she was just performed an amazing performance.
With puffing chest, Meng Yi Ran shot another three arrows that stuck at the same place like the first one, a few centimeters away from the target.
The two princes, Mo Qin Yi and Mo Su Chen only clapped their hand, smiling without saying anything.
"You are so amazing Yi Ran." Zhao Tianqi approached her.
"She is indeed a General's daughter from Zodasian." Li Yiren exclaimed excitedly, she left Qianru alone and sauntered toward her.
"Yes, you are right." Ji Yunshu chimed in as she walked closer to the three women. Mo Su Chen was following behind her. "Tianqi, if I am not mistaken, Crown Prince Mo Qin Yi also had taught you this."
Ji Yunshu suggestion made all the attention fell on Zhao Tianqi. The crown princess laughed bashfully while waving her hand.
"No, the crown prince was so busy, so I just practiced with him for four times." She said humbly, but the eagerness to show off in her eyes was so prominent. "The result will be not as good as Yi Ran."
"Why don't you try?" Mo Qin Yi gave her suggestion.
Zhao Tianqi gave her husband a shy smile as she agreed. "Alright, if you are insisted."
Qianru walked closer to the commotion right in time to see a mocking smile appeared on Li Yiren and Meng Yi Ran's face. It would end up as a show dog bit dog with laced of sugar coated word and fake smile.
Right at this point, Qianru didn't have any idea why she agreed to attend this tea- invitation- turned- to- be- competition.
However, she didn't have any other choice now. Therefore, she was patiently waiting for Zhao Tianqi to finish with her preparation.
The crown princess from the Rockstone Kingdom chose the Recurve bow with curve in the middle, this bow was shorter than the one that Meng Yi Ran had used. This was a bow for someone who was just starting out in archery.
People would know that Zhao Tianqi was not very often engaged in this type of activity. But, the confidence that radiated from her was exceptional.
