"You, Princess Yi Hua, are going to marry a demon, not just any demon but the King of demons, himself." Lu Yang Yang says, uncertain about her taking this piece of news, taking her breath away.
"It is, The king has made a treaty with the demon king, you are sacrificed to protect the human kingdom." Lu Yang Yang says, growing worried about her change in demeanor.
"Why would he sacrifice me?!" Yi Hua snaps, terrified.
"For the kingdom." Lu Yang Yang replies with his soft small voice which was devastating for her eyes and her brain to process, "No…I want to go back. Please take me back!" Yi Hua cries out in fear.
Lu Yang Yang pouts sadly and watches Yi Hua drop down on her feet, cupping her mouth shut close, "I can't do that, Hua. Not even god himself…" Lu Yang Yang says, cupping her cheeks and looking at her.
"What do I do? I just escaped the demon land and just watch my fate, I am thrown back into hell." Yi Hua says, tearing up as her lips tremble, "Hua, you cannot run away from this. Maybe this is what you need to do." Lu Yang Yang says, caressing her head.
"Why me? I just want to go back, I don't want to marry a demon. What if he kills me? Or-"
"Hua, you got to know that you cannot return back. So, let's finish what we were here for, hmm?" Lu Yang Yang says, comforting her, Yi Hua chuckles, wiping her tears she sniffs and looks away.
"What is the point of taking revenge now? I am getting married, isn't it?" Yi Hua says, scoffing and controlling her tears, "Hua." Lu Yang Yang mutters, Yi Hua stands up on her feet and looks around.
"I don't care. I am getting out of this palace. If I can't return back, fine but I won't marry a monster!" Yi Hua shouts out loud, Lu Yang Yang gasps, shaking his head, "No, don't do that. You might get in danger." Lu Yang Yang says, trying to change her mind.
"I already am in danger, Yang Yang. If you want to stop me then don't come after me." Yi Hua says, gritting her teeth in rage, Lu Yang Yang dejectedly looks away.
"I need to protect you-"
"By letting the marriage happen? Is that protecting me? You saw what happened in that demon land, didn't you?" Yi Hua cuts him off, Lu Yang Yang looks up at Hua in sadness, nodding his head as he stands silent.
"I need to escape…I need a way out of here." Yi Hua mutters to herself as he walks back and forth, biting her nails, worried for her life.
Lu Yang Yang just remains silent, how could he after she reminded him of his incompetence.
Yi Hua groans when nothing comes to her mind, she looks around and then back at the sack she had piled up to escape, she walks to it and climbs up, another attempt to escape but unfortunately, she just couldn't reach the top.
Groaning in distress she leaps down and clutches her hair, "I don't know what I am gonna do." She shouts, kicking the grass and the air, "Look around there! Find her!"
Yi Hua widens her eyes at the sudden outburst, she looks at Lu Yang Yang who was already looking at her with the same look, "Shit." She mutters, growing numb.
"Where do I hide?!" She whisper-yells, "I have no idea. Why don't you return back to your room for now?" Lu Yang Yang replies back, floating up and leveling up to her.
"You want me to return back?" Yi Hua scoffs, shaking her head no.
"You want to get caught and be locked inside so that you have no way out?" Lu Yang Yang questions, raising an eyebrow and looking at her expectantly while Yi Hua gulps and blinks her eyes thinking to herself about her decision.
"No…" She mutters, "I will look around and gather information about what is going on inside the palace, you run back to your room. Don't get caught." Lu Yang Yang says, turning around and looking to his sides.
The commotion was going on, Yi Hua bites her lips, "Remember, I escaped the room." She says, growing confident while Lu Yang Yang turns around facing her, "No one was aware and running around looking for you. But now, all are everywhere, better be careful."
Yi Hua nods her head, hesitant but she runs away as she hears steps coming her way, Lu Yang Yang watches her disappear out of his sight, and just then he witnesses a few soldiers running towards him.
He ignores their presence and floats away.
"Your Highness!" Yi Hua halts on her feet, the call suddenly taking her breath away, she gulps and slowly turns around, hoping it to not be the guards.
"I have been looking for you everywhere!" Yi Hua turns around and takes in a deep breath of relief, "Ye Ye, you scared me!" She snaps, clutching her chest, right above her heart, and giving Dao Ye her pissed glare.
"I apologize but why are you not in your room? You know if-"
"Go that way and search!" The sudden sentence catches her attention, widening her eyes and she looks around, "Distract them! I am running back to my room." Yi Hua says, giving Dao Ye a nod and running away while Dao Ye blinks his eyes, startled when he hears steps approaching him.
"Why are you all running around? Go and find Your Highness." Dao Ye shouts, stopping the guards from running in the direction Yi Hua runs off and the soldiers, confused, nod their heads and disperse away in different directions.
Dao Ye takes a deep breath, "What is Your Highness up to?" He thinks to himself, walking back to the direction he watched Yi Hua disappear, "I hope she makes it back to the room." He mutters, speeding up.
Yi Hua stops, taking in a deep breath to catch up her breath, she stands still and calms down, she opens her eyes and looks behind, sighing in relief she turns around but she screams, stumbling a few steps behind and slowly falling down.
But a hand comes down by waist, wrapped tightly, it holds her upright in the slanted position, she opens her closed eyes in shock when she hears him say, "Seems like I found you already, woman."
