Tianshi Xue was awakened by the sound of screaming and the ugly sound as something heavy fell to the floor.
"Tsk," was the sound that her lips made as she nestled herself closer to her pillow.
But just then, the pillow moved—more like bolted upright and Tianshi Xue's head fell to the thin mattress. She was still too sleepy to pay attention with what was happening around her. Sleep was still trying to pull her back and she let it.
"Bolin, what the hell are you doing?"
"I am sorry, General," said an apologetic voice which belonged to Feng. "Bolin, Bolin," he whispered although he could be heard by everyone. "Get up already, the general is going to kill you."
With that, there was a groan. "I knew it," said Bolin like he was close to tears. "You killed her, Your Highness. Better you than the emperor. Please, slice my neck already."
"What are you talking about?"
"Blood," Bolin said pointing at the princess. "There's blood."
