Mika was swinging the sword manically . Everyone was repeating the action of ducking the sword's slice then getting up and then ducking once again. Even after 5 minutes, that very sane pattern was still ongoing. "Damn you idiot, stop it. Are you trying to kill us or what?" Long Xin shouted.
"Great, just the thing we needed, a fool with a sword, trying to mass murder while engage in her own fantasy world." Xichan said sarcasticly as he ducked the sword.
"Stop with your lame jokes Xichan and stop that idiot or else before the emperor, she surely would lead us to our tombs." Han Zhi tried to move forward to snatch the sword from Mika but hurriedly fall back as the sword came towards him for a loving bloody hug.
"My wife is so cute. How charming she is looking with that sword. I should coustam made one for her." Long Xu dotingly said. His face didn't show any fear from her mad swings
'His majesty sure has lost it.' commander Xin shouted in his mind.
'If his majesty ever bought a sword for her majesty then the whole palace would be painted red and her majesty won't even realise that she was the one behind it.' eunuch Xiao Lin thought.
"My Cherry, I knew that you are the best. You didn't need anyone's help to free yourself from that barbarian. Only a brave woman like you are destined to be my soul mate. Cherry let's just get married right here." Gu Ren said while looking at Mika, eyes filled with love and admiration for her.
'Our leader's mantel health has compleatly turned black .' Gu Ren's subordinantes thought, feeling worried for him as well as themselves.
'How dare of her to humiliate me.' Liu Xiang was more then just angry, he was furious. He moved forward in lightining speed, dodging every single blows from his sword. He reached to Mika and slapped him straight on face. "You dare to mock me, you bitch."
All of the sudden whole commotion died. Every soul in the room excapt for Liu Xiang had their eyes gone wide as a cute, charming and innocently idiot woman, who was spining like a spinner up until now, was slapped hard enough to sent her flying. They couldn't bat their eyes as the move itself came unannounced in their eyes making them froze for a second in their position as they were processing what has just occurred in front of them. After the second pass every single person there excapt for the shadow dragons were seeing red. Though some of them knew Mika for a few hours, even though she was bad for one's mantle health, still they kind of got attached to her. 'This man here has crossed his line in a very unpleasent way and he will pay for this.' was the only thing echoing in all of their minds.
Just when Mika got slapped and sent flying Xichan moved forward and caught her before she could kiss the ground. "Hey, you alright?" XIchan shook Mika but he didn't budge. "Damn, she collapsed." He told to himself. "Don't worry we'll take you to palace as soon as possible." Xichan looked at Mika full of worry then he looked over at Liu Xiang and told to himself, maybe reassuring "He will definitely pay for hurting you." If looks could kill then Liu Xiang would have been killed on the spot as Xichan's dangerous glares directed at him.
Long XIn, Han Zhi, Long Xu and Gu Ren has their eyes hiddden under their bangs. They were trembling with anger. As soon as Mika was cought by Xichan, they lunged forward to attack, eyes promising death. In the blink of an eye a war started. It went to the next level when both parties were fighting earnestly under the clear blue sky. The large army of shadow dragon fighting against few captured people was still being pushed behind as their enemy's eyes and movement were seaking blood. The hostages fought and got their hands on weapons, after that everything was crimson red.
Liu Xiang was fighting with Gu Ren though Long Xu wanted to kill that bastard but before he could get his hands on a sword, Gu Ren already had a sword handed over by one of his people and started a war with the leader. The shadow dragon army's number was decreasing in surprisingly fast speed and why wouldn't it, the blood thrusty demons were on the loose after all.
Along with the time the whole army was left severely wounded. In the end only Liu and Gu Ren were fighting, winner couldn't be declared yet as both were said to be on equal level. But now it has to stop, they can't wait for them to go on like that because they don't have that kind of time, Long Xin out of nowhere attacked Liu Xiang from behind and made him fell unconscious on the ground.
The victorious group binded their enemy who were severely wounded while insuring that not to let them die. In the middle of their capturing, the captainof royal guards reached there with small army to save but was taken aback that their supposed to be work was already taken care of only thing left for them is to get treatment for injurd captives so they won't die befor their trial. The new arrived started on with their tasks.
"How is she doing?" Han Zhi ran towards Xichan and looked at MIka. Long XIn, Long Xu, Gu Ren also ran towards Xichan.
"I can't tell, but right now she is still unconscious." Xichan never lift his eyelids up to see his companions. He was gazing at Mika only to feel regrat of being a failure to protect her.
"Cherry, I know you are not that weak, you'll be alright." Gu Ren moved forward to caress Mika's face but got stoped by a hand holding him back "What do you think you are doing." Gu Ren glared at the person whom the hand belonged to.
"You are not to touch my wife, the empress." Long Xu growled. "You are under arrest for trying to casually touch the empress and for proposing to her hand in marriage." Long Xu said but before could bind Gu Ren, he ran away saying "Cherry, please wait for me and I do apologize for leaving you at the time when you needs me the most." As Gu Ren loudly shouted goodbye to Mika, he and his army ran away.
"Follow and capture them." Long Xu ordered the imperial army then turned to where his wife was. He picked her up in bridal style from Xichan's hold. "I will talk to you three later first let us move to the palace." He moved forward as soon as he spoke.
"Yes, your majesty." Long Xin, Han Zhi and Xichan said in unison. They were so worried about Mika that they didn't dwell on their situation that the emperor is going to punish them and he was with them the whole time, saw evey damn thing that happened there.
After ordering everyone of them tasks they left for the palace. The pack of horse riders roared through the capital with commander Xin leading the way while Xichan beside him and royalties following behind. The journey went on in silence with Long Xu occasionally cheaking on the woman in his arms and others also keep stealing glances on her.
After what felt like eternity, they reached to their destination. Long Xu immediately got off of his ride taking the woman along , carring her in bridel style and dashed towards the dragon palace , which was his own residence, in long strides.
Long Xu and trio parted their ways as he went to his palce and other three toward different direction from him. The three of them ran almost all the way, commander Xin also went after them felling some what perplexed that they went somewhere else instead of going with emperess as he could see restlessness and worries for her clearly on their faces.
"Thud."
They impatiently ran and barged in office of the royal physician who was enjoying his lunch. Alomst giving fright and sucessfully chocking him with their sudden arrival.
'Cough, cough. Your highnesses, cough your excellency., please cough don't come like cough that you almost cough chocked me to death." He somehow manged to speak in between his coughs.
But the intruders didn't mind the inconvenience they were causing to the poor fellow, they walked up to him, went forward to his table. Both Han Zhi and Xichan took hold of both of his hands, raised them up and carried him out while Long XIn grabbed his bag of hurbs and equipment and followed after.
The royal physician protested which went to deaf ears and he had to be carried in the weirdest positionf, of being carried between Han Zhi and Xichan by both hands,hanging in midddle, to all the way to the dragon palace with out any explanation.
